@Rabelais - Nothing wrong with massive numerical superiority if we're just talking cheap infantry

Any kind of AN magic would help a lot. So the lack of a prophet really hurts. Even just one prophet sitting back spamming smite while Glaive/Spear troops held the line would go a long way.

(I would forget Pikes. Not as much damage as glaives, not as tough as spear+shield, and repelling a knight seems futile.)

'Pullback' configuration:
High protection shield troops placed fully forward center, set to Guard Commander. (Commander at back corner.)
High damage troops middle, offset left or right, set to Hold and Attack Closest. (If commander is left, troops are right. No double meaning.)

The independents will all lock and follow the forward picket (archers included,) allowing your armor cutting units to smash the flank of a positionally staggered army.
It has the added bonus of likely negating the lances if timed properly.

And it has the risk of a lucky archer shot taking out your commander. So bring two.
