You will probably end up somewhere in this range. Let's leave you with 4.5 pez per acre for ease. You now have 20 pop per acre to dispense into your military.
I would run something like:
9% Farms
15% Banks
15% TGs
10% Rax
20% TDs
10% Guilds
13% Towers (I assume you are mixing fireball and TOG)
8% Forts (this is flexible)
5 TPA, 6 OSpA, 9 EpA gives you maybe ~70k offense, ~80k defense on a 2000k province, enough to be an unappealing target once war is underway, but enough offense to happily 1-2tap silly orc/undeads who grow 500 acres over war and are shelled and easily farmed for land.
Merch bonus allows you to pump more offspecs out, TOG allows you to keep generating an ok amount of gold.
All these metrics would be better with science, obviously.
Now obviously it doesn't always work out. If you feel frail, drop to 5 OSpA and 10 EpA and run more forts. But these rough numbers are a good start to be a pretty decent A/T hybrid with the kind of goals you are aiming for.
