You'll have a job with anything that can murder your med cav effectively. Pike/Board shield mixed formation? I could ward off arrows and still sick your little nags full of holes.

Quote from: "Jubal"
other given force of the same size?
I don't think size has near as much to do with it as composition of the opposing force; you have to adjust for who you are fighting.

But I reckon that is the point of this question. Therefore I find it most feasible to have a well balanced army in attempt to counter the variable of adversaries, and agree with Jubal's first suggestion as such.

Swords are useless against heavily armored knights

Which is surely why you have pikes... I'f you're going anti-knight, replace the maces with polehammers for the extra hitting power.

Not mounted knights... I've meant to say heavily armored infantry... Mace men outmaneuver them , but polehammer is too slow and heavy so it would not be that effective...

2000 Phoenix Guard, 2000 Waywatchers, 2000 Dragon Princes but in the old days when they actually rode Dragons, 2000 Ellyrion Reavers and 2000 Sea Guard guarding 500 Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers.  It takes two Elves to crew an Eagle Claw, leaving 1000 Sea Guard to actually guard the machines while the Bolt Throwers shower everything in razor sharp death.  

They may not be real, but Elves leave humans in the dust when it comes to warfare.
