Im having severe difficulties against these guys, no matter what I do my troops get slaughtered.

Any tips against them will be greatly appreciated.
Im currently playing Machaka.

Are they using troops and commanders or only commanders? If they are using other troops as well, you could try to corner them and route thier troops so they die retreating into enemy territory.

Troops too, I cant rout them tho. Thats the nature of the problem. They are kicking my ***

Hrm.

For Machaka, use Flaming Arrows/Archers. Magma Eruption and Mass Protection on your Hoplites. Try the Flying Dwarf approach to take care of Tuatha/Sidhe Lord mini-combatants, as they can't punch through 30 Prot.

We are currently on turn 9 btw

so no mass protection, no magma eruption and no flaming arrows (yet) :/

I've played lots of games as Machaka...

in the beginning focus on buying the Machaka archers until you can get better archers from the nearby provinces.

also buy the Machaka Hoplites... they are strong and good front military for protecting those archers.

maybe buy a few spider riders... which should sit as hold and attack(placed in the middle)
also buy those sorceresses for 110 gold... they'll do your research and when the time comes for battle...... they turn into spiders when their life is threatened.

more importantly focus on buying those mercenaries for sale.
