Strictly speaking yes, anything else than General's cam is an exploit. The only thing which in RL was better than in the game is that the units would be commanded by human beings which do not need constant babysitting if properly briefed before battle.

Psiloi like peltastai weren't just skirmishers. Often they were lightened hoplites, so using them for aggressive flanking isn't misplaced at all.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Peltastai aren't Psiloi, but lightened Hoplites indeed. Psiloi are really poor people from the slums etc.. Akontistai, Sphendonetai and Toxotai.
