You have to admit it's not historically correct

No. But neither is the Seles overrunning Pontos inside the first twenty years, which is what will happen if you try the other thing and disband troops. The AI has a rabid hatred of the human player after all...

So I'm kind of not seeing the points you're trying to make here.

More cash to survie ? Sinope unique units to add some flAvor to the faction ?

Sinope was just a greek city, it would have what EVERY other greek city has.

What you ask comes to the rank of asking to make units such as corinthian and athenian hoplites O.O

1. Spartan hoplites - THEY ARE SPARTAN HOPLITES lol
2. Massilian hoplites - Mix of Celtic and Hellenic warfare
3. You missed one, Syracusean hoplites...idk about those, they are kinda interesting tho...

They had a somewhat different kind of Phalanx, which is unique therefore they get their own unit.

If Sinope had unique hoplites they most likely had lighter quilted armor to deflect arrows, but unless theres archaeological evidence its a no-go.
