I find that scorpions and elephants are a great "backbone" to any Burmese army. Scorpions kill off infantry and archers, while elephants stave off what the scorpion can't handle along with soaking up damage. From there, you can add in different units depending on what else you're facing...

Monks and/or Siege: Light cavalry helps, and it they're great meatshields if elephants are too far from the scorpions.

Cavalry: Mixing in halbs deter cavalry charges, buffer against enemy infantry, and beat spear units from most civ 1 on 1.

I'm mostly writing this because for a long time, I couldn't think of a good anti-infantry unit for the Burmese aside from the Arambai - which I wasn't pleased with (too squishy, lacks range + accuracy). Then the thought of using scorpions hit me.
