OPPONENT
MacedonianMacedonian
Macedonian wins through reinforced cavalry attrition, sustained by passive silver income and cost-free army replacements: Varangian warriors automatically discover silver deposits while gathering standard resources, which funds superior military upgrades at the Arsenal, while the Warcamp replaces battlefield losses without cost, creating a momentum cycle where accumulated kills trigger runestone bonuses that strengthen their surviving warriors.

Cuz I think feudal fighting is just not the way to go, yeah. It's definitely awkward when you're paying a premium for your horseman, right? With the Gazi Raiders, and then there's this other guy, you know, and he's just getting that additional damage without paying that premium with the hippodrome horseman.

Against Macedonian there's no great answer for Delhi in feudal age, especially if Varangian Guards get that second attack. You can use Ghazi Raiders and that should probably be the unit of choice, but if you over commit to Ghazi you could just get taken out by an Atgeir or Riddari switch that really surprises you.

You're going to go for some early Ghazi Raiders, and that'll match up okay against a Macedonian horseman because you can always pull back for healing, which the Macedonian won't have right away. And if you keep the Ghazi alive, the bonus damage against heavy is very useful against those armored units later like Varangian Guards.

Macedonians will love a long extended feudal fight because with the silver income, you are able to meet those upgrades that just make it so much harder to handle. And the Riddari also just shifts the ability of your army to outlast and outscale what Delhi can do.

The Foreign Engineering Company landmark gives Macedonians cannons that counter Delhi's War Elephants effectively.
