Just wondering how many infintry units there are for the greek faction not including phalax units. And if they are any good.

akonistai: weak skirmishers but cheap
slingers (forgot the name, sephandatoi or something): long range, better then western archers but can cause damage to own troops when not properly placed.
Peltestai: verry good skirmishers and decent in melee.
Theureuporoi: comparable to Peltestai, slower but better in melee.
Thorakitai: Armoured Theureuporoi, comparable to roman legionairs but not as strong.
Toxotai: western archers, barely worth the effort. Cheap but no match for their eastern counterparts.
Ekdromoi Hoplitai: spear infantry, light but good for protecting flanks.

I think those are about all the current KH non phalanx infantry. Might have missed some tough.

I use use Ekdromoi a lot more then theurophoroi, Simply because of they're speed(and I guess because they are awesome looking)
