I am looking upon the Medieval II strategists that may reside in this forum.  This is my problem.

I like England.  They are probably not the best faction, but I don't  let that stop me when choosing who I want to play; I play the people I like the best.  My biggest problem I have to overcome are enemy Cavalry.

I first looked towards spearmen to fight the enemy Cavalry, but I noticed in the later game that the best spearmen I would have is Levy Spearmen, which is a very early unit.  I looked at Heavy Billmen, and noticed that they are effective against armor, but are they effective against Cavalry?

How are Billmen as a unit in general?  I noticed they tend to get routed quite a bit and don't seem particularly effective.
