Try wearing them down with javelins over several battles.
Cleave the sod with your trusty spade
Dig out a house that's quite like a grave
And should your neighbour not return your wave
Cleave the sod with your trusty spade

The Scholarii are tanks in the medieval world, and that's basically what they were in the real world as well. The above post is absolutely correct - javelin troops absolutely rock their worlds. I believe you can recruit the two types of Aldari as a merc unit for a mounted javelin troop, a foot mounted merc javelin unit in Armenia (I believe?), and the Greek lands also have javelins for sale too.
Once you try it, it almost becomes something you think about handicapping yourself with because they are just too good at assassination runs.

I see the better and approve; I follow the worse.
If you liked my post or thought I was helpful, hit that +rep and leave your name so I can keep an eye out for when you deserve some. Unless you suck. Then you aren't getting crap. Ever.
