The advantages King Philip saw the Macedonians were having are a good king and control of the land.
Macedonians are an ancient tribe live around the rivers Haliacmon and lower Axios in the northeastern part of mainland Greece.
They gradually expanded from their homeland along the Haliacmon valley on the northern edge of the Greek world. They drove out many non-Greek tribes such as the Thracian and Illyrian from that place.
The language they spoke is Ancient Macedonian and it was a sibling language to Ancient Greek but mostly it is a dialect of Northwest Doric Greek and some also suggest an Aeolic Greek classification. But the prestige language of the region was Attic Greek during the Classical era and it was replaced by Koine Greek during the Hellenistic era.
Their religious belief mirrored those of other Greeks and followed the main deities of the Greek pantheon.
