Well, on the defense I do play very static letting my archers + reinforce archers + reinforce cav do the work. The wall of spears is just there to protect and hold back offensive units. I can even go as far as having the following setup:

1st setup: 6-8 bills or similar, 8-10 archers
1st reinforce: 8-10 archers
2nd reinforce 8-10 cav (16 cav if I withdraw the bills to)

With any faction against any foe I get atleast 5:1 victory and hundreds of captives.
