Battle of Issus - Darius' Army:
Greek Mercanary Hoplites: 8000-10000
Cardaces: 20000
Thracians: 12000-15000
General Levy: 50000
Nobles: 3000
Others (heavy & light): 8000-10000
Possible EB equivelents:
Greek Mercanary Hoplites: Misthophoroi Hoplitai
Cardaces: Kardaka Arteshtar (might include Thanvare Parsig as back up to the heavier Kardaka infantry)
Thracians: Thrakioi Peltastai
General Levy: pretty much any eastern levy light infantry unit can fill this position
Nobles: Khuveshavagan
Others: Asiatikoi Hippeis, Asiatikoi Hippakontistai or almost any combo of heavy & light eastern cavalry, try to balance both groups
Again, the Persian lists are more difficult to assign units to as some of the Persian national cavalry units did not survive past Alexander's reign to make it to EB. Also, the vagueness of "Others" and "General Levy" leave much to careful discernment rather than obvious choices.
