make 1/2 spearmen and 1/2 of the counter unit to his main unit. if his main unit is cav then probably just mass spears with some slings as a back up.

I like the spearmen the best, cuz they are fast, cheap and pretty strong their really good for raiding in classical.

I play as RA and Set. As set I donot use migold units much and use anubite too often. If u go horus there is a point in using spearmens other wise pump migold units as far as possible. War elephant as meat shield with archers kills everything (unless they donot have cavalry as counter cavalry - for this condition u might require spearman). It is difficult to do this as Set but as Ra and Isis this the best. If ur in defense protecting ur base go for camels as u need to be fast to move to any destination in base. The problem in spaming war elephant is that u cannot maintain two armies as its quite a pop slot. so maintain a stock pile of 2000 gold for a merc spam in case of emergency, as thats the only way out as u lack pop slots to create units and war elephants are way too slow.
