I haven't played it for quite a while... but have your general near your spearmen, he gives them an added bonus to morale. Cavalry beat archers, but what about archers in the forest hidden away? Try and ambush the cavalry ok? You can use bait for bringing cavalry out, like a small detachment of spearmen, or some archers. Use the closed formation for your spearmen so it makes them harder to break. Your general is important, remember this. Enjoy the game, its' one of the best. I didn't even bother with Empire Total War, I read about all the problems with that game.
