How to beatAbbasid Dynastyas Macedonian

Matchup tips

There's almost no choice but to go archers initially and then once you actually have plenty of gold access there's only one answer of course and it's Varangian Guard afterwards.

Berserking means Varangian Guards take a lot of damage, so don't walk in while Berserking is active.

Riddari are great in this matchup because they can throw axes at camel archers.

Cheirosiphons are a game changer: infrastructure is the one thing Abbasid cannot remass as quickly as villagers.

Get Cheirosiphons. If you had two Cheirosiphons behind your push, you could destroy the infrastructure as well, not just idle the economy.
