The only problem with that is that it's a bit odd to have an _offensive_ army made of lots of spears and missiles...you usually tend to have that in a _defensive_ army...

Not really true. I remember once as the HRE I had swords on my southern border to fight off the horde of Italian spears and to the west tons of spears to fight off hte horde of French cavalry. So in my case its not so much a defensive or offensive army but a good countering army and if someone knows what they will be facing they will train for the best counter unit and use them to there advantage
