馬其頓 is a regional power in the Balkans, controlling much of Macedonia and parts of northern Greece. The ancient homeland of the 
Argead dynasty of Alexander the Great, Macedon begins the game under the rule of Kassandros I Antipatrid, son of the Argead regent Antipatros, having eliminated the remaining Argead claimants to declare himself king some years before. In 450 AUC Macedon is in a difficult position, facing the might of the 
弗里吉亞 as it seeks to liberate Greece from Macedonian rule, though the alliance with 
色雷斯 and the self-interests of 
埃及 and the 
塞琉古帝國 who do not want to see the Antigonids grow too powerful offers a path to victory that Macedon may be able to play. Historically, this coalition would prove sufficient to destroy Antigonid power and lead to the collapse of their entire empire allowing Macedon to restore its hegemony over much of Greece, though infighting within the Antipatrid dynasty would see its downfall not long afterwards and control of Macedon passing between the Antigonid, 
Aiakadid, Lysimachid, and Ptolemaic dynasties before the complete collapse of the kingdom during the invasion of the 
Gauls. The kingdom would be restored a few years later under the Antigonid dynasty, who would rule the kingdom until their overthrow in 168 BC at the hands of the 
Romans and the eventual annexation in 146 BC.
If Macedon is destroyed, it can be reformed by decision by any Macedonian-cultured nation (in particular the 弗里吉亞), or by 伊庇魯斯 through either the decision or its unique missions if the Epirus Flavor Pack is enabled.
Events
The Wars of the Diadochi
At start, all the Diadochi states will receive an event that gives them claims on all of the western half of the former 阿吉德帝國 and the special Legacy of Alexander wargoal against each other, allowing them to easily declare war and conquer territory from each other. For Macedon, these claims will go away on the death of the first ruler.
Fourth War of the Diadochi
Shortly after the game starts, Macedon will be given an ultimatum by the 弗里吉亞 to surrender Korinthos (418), their last fortress in southern Greece, or face a resumption of war. If the demands are refused and war breaks out, after a few months 埃及, 塞琉古帝國, and eventually 色雷斯 may join the fray, forcing the Antigonids to choose between conceding significant amounts of territory in the Levant - possibly including their capital - or face war against all of the other four Diadochi combined.
Antipatrid Crisis
A few years into the game, Kassandros and then his heir Philippos IV will fall significantly ill, forcing a succession crisis once the basileus and the primary heir die. Macedon will then have to choose between siding with one of Kassandros's remaining sons - Antipatros II and Alexandros V - with the other starting a 
civil war, or try to force reconciliation and face deep instability in the realm. If civil war breaks out, the rebelling claimant will approach another one of the Hellenic powers for assistance, which in the case of asking for aid from 伊庇魯斯 will involve handing over 請檢查模板名和國家代碼：{{Countries|flag/core|Ambracia}} and 
阿卡納尼亞 in exchange.
Decisions
As a Hellenistic culture group monarchy, Macedon has access to the decision to reform the 阿吉德帝國.
重新統一亞歷山大帝國
寄生蟲和流氓們已經享用亞歷山大花費了一生去造就的亞歷山大帝國的成果太久了，我們是時候清除所有的宣稱者，篡奪者和妄想的省份獨裁者了。在亞歷山大大帝的帝國里，只能有一個政權，便是這位偉人所建立的偉大希臘遺產的擁護者。除了我們之外，沒有別的國家能夠做到，只有尊重阿吉德傳統的家族才能合法地宣稱其遺產。

Formation
Decision
If it is destroyed, Macedon can be reformed by any country that either has Macedonian primary culture or began as 伊庇魯斯 (if the Epirus Flavor Pack DLC is not enabled). At the start of the game, the main candidates that fulfill the conditions for forming Macedon by decision are 弗里吉亞, 
派俄尼亞, and 伊庇魯斯 (without the DLC) (as the other Diadochi states are considered on the same tier for the purposes of nation formation, though it is theoretically possible for one of them to form Macedon by losing most of their territory and forming 
塞浦路斯 first, as it is Tier 1 but has no tier restrictions itself). Macedon may also be reformed by successful revolter countries, as well as the eastern Diadochi satrapies of 
卡帕多基亞, 
帕提亞, 
巴克特里亞, and 
阿拉科西亞 if they keep their Macedonian primary culture and make their way all the way back to the west. Note that forming 伊庇魯斯 as an Epirote-cultured country, as opposed to starting as that tag, will not give access to the decision.
成立馬其頓
馬其頓的巨頭們總是偏愛強者和能者，而不是那些軟弱無力的。讓我們把王國從那些正在導致它毀滅的人手中奪走，為馬其頓人創造一個更強大的新國家。
Mission task
If the Epirus Flavor Pack DLC is enabled, Macedon can instead by formed by a task in the Hellenic Contender unique Epirote mission tree as a reward for conquering the core Macedonian region, with similar requirements as the formation decision. Forming Macedon this way will give a somewhat different flag than the starting country or by the formation decision, reflecting the restored kingdom's Epirote origins.

Macedon begins with 
5 subject states scattered between its neighbours, reflecting its remaining degree of control over Greece and its environs.
In addition, Macedon starts with a 
guarantee on 
阿耳戈斯.
Population
Macedon has a 
population of 609 spread over its 
49 territories, mostly Macedonian Hellenic. The provinces of Thessalia and Aetolia are predominantly Thessalian Hellenic and Aetolian Hellenic, respectively, and there are also small minorities of Taulantian Hellenic pops in the westernmost inland territories and a few Hebrew Jewish pops scattered in some of the larger cities.

Strategy
Macedon starts without full control of its capital region of Macedonia, making other Macedonian states natural expansion targets. However, directly north of Macedon is a tribal vassal, 派俄尼亞, making it impossible to fabricate claims without first renouncing this vassal. A longer alternative is to improve Paeonia's loyalty until it upgrades its subject relationship to one which Macedon could eventually use to integrate Paeonia.
More crucially, Macedon could easily be drawn into the Wars of the Diadochi, which may not be in its best interests, as any potential expansion will take place outside the capital region, strengthening regional governors rather than the ruler directly.
