They can still take pretty good care of Archers, Spearmen, and other Skirms if in greater numbers. You just need to find the right pairing to go against the other guys (Spearmen, Archers or -for Eagles- Men at Arms, though in that case I'd rather harass the gold miners, which I always do anyway). If his Villagers feel like being heroes, I'd say adding Scouts is the right choice.
