The five things you'd need for a good defence, in order of importance (in my opinion, at least):
Archers
swords/pikes
ATs
5k range
layers
I count swords/pikes as a seperate thing from layers of 1k warriors and 1k workers because...frankly, they're better.
I have more swordsmen than I have archers, and as many pikes as archers...but then my layers of warriors, workers and the rest are about a quarter of my archers numbers.
The swords/pikes are basically jus' super-warriors...stronger, tougher and faster. The speed puts them far out in the battle quickly, to keep them away from your archers and ATs for longer, while dealin' significant damage. The warriors and workers jus' die while savin' a turn or two...but the swords/pikes will cause a lot of damage. And in my case, they won't get past the swords anyway unless they've got a pretty scary army.
