What are you favored troop combinations for a balanced army?

If I go isis for example, thoth elephants with petsuchos or chariots can pretty much handle anything. sometimes i add a roc and siege towers. Priest spam with siege units is gimmicky but there are a few situations where it works well.

With the chinese a balance of barracks/castle/temple units seem to handle most threats quite well. but I find war chariots/scout cavalry tends to be less effective in the mix.

with the norse, hersir spam with counter archer support is very fun to play when the myth unit deathball starts rolling.
