OPPONENT
MacedonianMacedonian wins through reinforced cavalry attrition, sustained by passive silver income and cost-free army replacements: Varangian warriors automatically discover silver deposits while gathering standard resources, which funds superior military upgrades at the Arsenal, while the Warcamp replaces battlefield losses without cost, creating a momentum cycle where accumulated kills trigger runestone bonuses that strengthen their surviving warriors.
Matchup advice2 TIPS
Crossbows are necessary against a mass of Riddari.
Macedonians have the potential of getting up to three ranged armor on their Riddari. Even after nerfs, Riddari can put up quite a fight against Horse Archers with the bonus armor.
