i havnt been defeated by one of these cav spammers yet, ive pretty much sorted a tactic as greece for winning on 10k and i dont need to alter my standard ballanced army. 2 units of spartans(1 is the gen) keep em in standard formation behind the phalanx line, they can then rush to support any weak or faltering spots. 2 units of armoured hoplites, keep em both on one flank to anchor it. 5 units of reg hoplites, these are your main hoplite line, deploy them together with no gaps in between and make em at least 4 ranks deep. 2 onagers on fire at will flame pots behind ur main line. 3 cretans on fire arrows, keep em on the flanks, then pull em in behind your line when the enemy approaches and finally 3 units of greek cav to pursue the enemy cav once its broken, or to flank it once they hit your line, or to draw em off on a wild goose chase whilst your cretans pump volley after volley into em. :)
