How would you beat my missle troops?

Okay, I admit I am a whore for missle troops. So far I haven't even desired to play the countries who don't have 'em.

For the moment I'm using 4-5 leaders each with several squads.

But I have my main guy, (A Grand Inquisitor who is also my Prophet) loaded with 95 crossbowmen. This body of missle troops is flanked by pikemen and Halberdiers.

Out front I have Flagelates (sp?) to soak up enemy missles and melee unit charges.

Now in my solo game this has performed very well so far.

My question to this forum and the more experienced players is, how would you oppose my force?

You've found one killing strategy in the game .

I can have "Arrow Fend", "Storm" (just decrease precision by 6 in Dom 2). But the best way is to have more missle troops than you . I can decimate your crossbow with cheap indie archers by setting them aim for enemy archers.
