OPPONENT
ByzantineByzantine
Byzantines accelerate production through sprawling Aqueduct networks to fuel mid-game cavalry peaks via the Hippodrome's movement and regeneration bonuses, adapt their roster through mercenary recruitment, and establish late-game dominance with Greek Fire's lingering area damage that prevents enemy recovery.
Matchup advice2 TIPS

Cataphracts definitely deal with a lot of units that Macedonian could potentially make, but it's not part of that composition. I'm a little bit worried about this. Usually with those cataphracts, you either want to be raiding or you want them to stomp on a bunch of ranged ones, especially get to the back line if there's anything blocking you. But this is still a pretty hard thing to do when there's a bunch of spears in this mix.

Going for the +3 pierce damage upgrade is very strong, especially when you're up against something like the javelin throws.
