The Slavs and the Teutons are two civilizations that share many similarities.
They both heavily rely on melee units and siege weapons, and have bonuses to their farming economies.
However, the Teutons have a much stronger farming bonus that activates much earlier.
The Teutons also have superior military bonuses with their additional armor and conversion resistance, giving them an advantage against other melee-focused civilizations.
While the Slavs may have an advantage in siege weapons, the Teutons are not far behind, with their ironclad and conversion resist making them difficult to counter.
Both civilizations have weak ranged options, but the Teutons have an advantage with their access to Hand Canoneers.
