How about disable your hoplites from Phalanx formation and quickly flank the Phalanx pikemen. I've never tried this but every time when I play Macedon with a one-on-one fight between the Hoplite and Phalanx pikemen it seems to be an even match. The long pike attribute doesn't seems to make a great differece at all.
