Overview
A Chronicles battle plan for Macedonians in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, built around its distinctive economy, roster, and technologies.
Opening and economic choice
Use the Recruitment Doctrine at each production building according to the immediate need: cheaper units for sustained pressure or faster training when a short timing matters more. Infantry armor research helps cavalry too, making it a good shared investment for a mixed ground force. Still scout and defend the food income before adding too many queues.
Army composition and map decisions
Phalangites can anchor the line while Companion Cavalry threaten a flank or punish exposed ranged units. Siege gains protection and building damage, but must move with an escort. Reduced damage from attackers on higher ground eases an uphill fight; it does not justify charging a fortified hill without a route and support.
When to change course
A faster queue can empty resources before replacements are ready. Reassess the doctrine when the army changes or the economy is disrupted.

Core army
Phalangites can anchor the line while Companion Cavalry threaten a flank or punish exposed ranged units. Siege gains protection and building damage, but must move with an escort. Reduced damage from attackers on higher ground eases an uphill fight; it does not justify charging a fortified hill without a route and support.
Technology & transition
Choose a technology or production change that improves the force already fighting, then secure the resource route needed to replace it.
Watch for
A faster queue can empty resources before replacements are ready. Reassess the doctrine when the army changes or the economy is disrupted.
