Hello everyone,

I need help in the title's matchup.

I play mainly Ayyubids (sometimes Malians) and whenever I end matched up against macedonian I don't know what to do.

Their troops seem immune to counters (riddari melting desert raider and their spearmen are nearly immune to arrows).

On top of that a civ without eco bonuses go consistently into castle faster than me and with more army.

Last but not least their army comp varies with incredible ease due to varangian stronghold.

Is there an age choice that can even the field on ayyubid's side?

Any suggestion is welcome!

I link two games of mine as reference:
