@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.)
