Thanks for the advice guys!
Hmm, may I suggest building religious buildings? The church gives +2 in morale and the reliquary gives +4. Missed that myself in my second campaign I played (it had poor tooltip at the time). Then with master spearmaker you'll get them to 6 in morale, good enough for them to withstand 60-80% losses in frontal battle before routing.

Considering that you've played RTW I'm assuming that you have control of the v&v, the other factor for quickly routing troops.
