OPPONENT
Golden HordeGolden Horde
Golden Horde dominates through relentless cavalry aggression fueled by Stockyards that accelerate food production and batch recruitment that increases unit output without raising costs, with the Khan-Torguud protective core anchoring mounted assaults while autonomous Ovoo stone income and tactical Fortified Outpost edicts sustain economic momentum and enable constant territorial expansion.
Matchup advice3 TIPS

Macedonians might just go for a straight up fast castle. You have what you need for it with the deer, and then you start getting the Riddari, and that's where Golden Horde struggles. They really struggle going fast castle.

The Varangian Guard actually trade super well up against Torguud because they go up to six melee armor and Torguud go up to like 11 damage. So you barely take any damage from Torguud, but you do a good amount of damage yourself.

The archers for Macedonians, they are quite unique in the way that they have an activatable ability which ignores two of the armor, but Torguud with the Muscovy Yasak have an additional two ranged armor on them. So it kind of completely makes up for that.
