Castle Age Knights without Bloodlines will also defeat Lancers in equal numbers.

In Post Imperial, Cavalier with Bloodlines and Paladin without Bloodlines win too.

There are many different units that can defeat Lancers when numbers are equal. But the problem is almost all of them are more expensive and create slower than the Lancers. Therefore, I believe the best place to balance Lancers is in their creation speed and/or unit cost. Start with making their creation speed slower to that of a Knight, or 30 seconds. Leave the cost alone for now, because I feel the lower cost is a part of the Lancer's identity as light cavalry.
