Never, ever make spearton first. They will mass swords and kill the spearton.
YJang, as for sword + archer start on medium sized maps, do what uberman said. Personally I like to stall until rage kicks in, then dominate.

After that you need to drive HARD. Right before you make a counter for the center, start a miner on praying and get a spearton as soon as you can. His eco is painfully small compared to yours; he needs to catch up. You killed his archer (and maybe some of his swords too), so he needs to prepare a defense (castle archer). That's what that spearton you just got should be used for. Send that spearton in front of your swords to attack his base, remember to keep your swords away from the spearton to avoid the splash damage. He is forced to garrison lest he lose all his miners (which aren't many in number anyway). Now, DO NOT MAKE MORE MINERS. Your eco is already better than his, to push your eco even further ahead is a little overkill gives you an unnecessary surplus. Keep spamming speartons to tank through is castle archer damage. At this point it's pretty easy. Rotate out low health speartons, occasionally use swords to deal extreme damage to anything that might resist your army (such as a stray sword or spear).

It should be pretty straightforward :)

Thanks :D I will give it a try
