As the saying goes....

"An army of sheeps lead by a lion can defeat an army of lions lead by a sheep"

I usually start out with a pumped up commander (like a spellcaster with priestly powers) usually to make him perform double duty. A high leadership rating would be a plus when selecting a commander, around 25 would do but 10 is bad. Make this commander lead the cheapest units as possible... a militia is good here coz it can hul stones as well as attack in close range.

It doesn't matter if all of your units are militia or archers... your goal here is to stay on top with superior numbers.
