Matchup advice16 TIPS
Even though you're against a civ that has better cavalry, Imperial Hippodrome is just the go-to for Macedonians.
Once you reach Castle Age as Macedonians on one TC, you are on the clock because French have the Guild Hall ticking and Imperial becomes inevitable.
The Champion Scout can pick up a deer and get away with it, but normal scouts will die to knights.
If you go crossbows as Macedonians, you'll just have worse crossbows than French; Bogmaðr can outrange them.
Bogmaðr suck against Arbalétriers because of the pavise shield.
