Again i summon a thread about KH - i hope you don't get tired yet. :D
Now i have the feeling that the Reformed Hoplites such as the Iphikratian and Thorakitai Hoplitai are quite useless at the moment. Now don't get me wrong - they can hold their line for quite a while but their secondary weapons - the swords - seem to serve no purpose as they do better against infantery with the spear. This kinda means there is no reason why to take the Thorakitai Hoplitai above the regular Thorakitai or to take the Iphikratian Hoplitai above the regular Hoplitais at the same money cost such as the Classical Hoplitai.
I really believe these units should be effective so that there is a reason why to pick KH over other hellenstic kingdoms besides the Spartans. I think historically they were also quite effective although they were not used much because the Greeks Cities "allied" with Rome although im not sure about this one.
