Made them all comprised of Gund-i Palta is not a good idea too... too many skirmishers will guarantee your men will be rided down by seleukid Prodromoi
So are you trying to make the Hasmonaeans historically accurate or "playable" in your terms? Because the two are not compatible in this case. There is no evidence of phalanxes being used by the Hasmonaeans. For a large portion of the Maccabaean revolts, the Hasmonaean forces were composed of little more than skirmishers. It is only after the purification of the temple that the army was expanded and heavier troops were introduced (though even then, these were troops like thureophoroi and perhaps thorakitai for infantry and probably a Hellenistic heavy cavalry unit - definitely no phalangites).
