Macedon is already massively handicapped as for some strange reason it keeps building massive amounts of lancers to the exclusion of other units.

Lancers usually make up the bulk of their armies, once I fought their biggest stack and there was only two phalanx units, the other 18 units or so were all lancers. Now lancers may be good in an initial charge but they're absolute crap in melee and go down in large numbers quicker than ten pins.

You can also imagine what effect this has on them in sieges of stone walled cities with so few foot units...
