Still, chaff with a missile is better than without.

imho, chaff with javelin are very effective(as chaff) for the sheer number of them.
100 human militia sounds easy, but 100 javelin flyng to you are not

If you're going to employ the javelin troops, they're best put off to the side. Deploy your heavy infantry front and center. Then place the javelin troops to either side, back some. Set them to fire closest. If you time it right, they should throw their javelins right as your heavy infantry collides with the enemy, then they'll move in on the sides and flank. This lets them provide the extra "damage" as they wrap around the enemy, while your heavy infantry takes the blows.

This works really well agaisnt low protection troops.

Would a Mother of Serpents be useful? She could have a retinue of useful indy/summoned mages, and periodically take a Heal Troops order to keep them healthy. Or would she have to do that too often to make it worthwhile?
