OPPONENT
Holy Roman EmpireHoly Roman Empire
The Holy Roman Empire builds early economic scaling through its Prelate's village buffs, funneling resources into a resilient infantry formation of Landsknechte and reinforced defensive structures whose overwhelming area-of-effect damage and fortress-like durability gradually outlast and overpower opponents.
Matchup advice3 TIPS

The economy with the prelate early on as well as the speed of the spearman means not many civs are able to contest HRE effectively, and Macedonians certainly not one of them due to their difficulty in going for any kind of barracks opening.

Similarly just like Macedonian have access to +2 damage courtesy of the Imperial Hippodrome horsemen, HRE get it too for pikes and not only on the horsemen but also on the spears as well on that Meinwerk Palace. Of course once the silver starts rolling in and the extra HP gets added into the equation then well the horsemen will undoubtedly be better, but it will be a little while until then and the pike upgrade can come in very quickly.

Keep in mind the Golden Horn Tower for Macedonians. If that Golden Horn Tower comes up, the Burgrave is dead in the water.
