Or (as AS against Pahlava) an army which had 10 Dahae Nobles + 6 Parhian Catas + 4 FMs (early variety). That army hurt. A LOT! Especially since all 4 FMs were 8-10 command + triple silver and above experience. I just spammed and auto calc-ed my way to victory. Lost something on the order of 4-5 full stacks of phalanxes + archers to do it but when you have a whole empire to spawn from it can be done.
But if you've been getting the sort of stacks thrown your way that you say you have I don't blame you on restricting yourself. I'd want a challenge as well.
Maybe its BI, but it seems my computer loves to throw elite stacks at me, and since I like to economize my armies, it tends to provide a challenge.
