Other good unit choices, if you can last long enough to reach them as several of them are very expensive in comparison to Lancers: o Slavic Halberdiers with Druzhina and 25% numbers advantage. o Slavic Boyars in equal numbers work well enough to get away with using less than equal numbers. o Teutonic Knights in equal numbers. However, Post Imperial Teutonic Knights survive with so many more numbers in comparison to Castle Age Teutonic Knights that you could use less than equal numbers. o Scorpions in equal numbers, with a spearman meat shield at least 10 units large, and starting the fight at max Scorpion attack range. This works for any civ that can take Scorpion and spearman to Post Imperial to keep up with Post Imperial Lancers. o Incan Kamayuks crush Lancers with equal numbers. Kamayuks also cost about the same as Lancers and train more than twice as fast. One Castle has a little faster unit production than two Stables, and two Castles are faster than four Stables. Post Imperial Kamayuks destroy Post Imperial Lancers so hard in equal numbers that you can easily get away with having less Kamayuk numbers. Kamayuks are the best units to use against Lancers.
