Steppes are hell? just place some slingers (ol plain sphendonetai) or Thureophreantes toxotai (never use plain sux toxotai) (easily obtainable from Cherosonesos and pantikapaion) behind your line of Hoplitai... use 7 or 8 missile infantry and HA's will be easy... just don't forget to bring ya oldie hippeis and hippakontistai for dealing with heavier cav and cleaning up the mess...
EDIT : I learn up how to smack steppe army with just infantry based army because my HA army once had an utter defeat against (believe it or not) AI Seleukid army that comprises mostly of slingers... trully utterly epic defeat... so I try to use that tactic myself afterwards...
EDIT AGAIN: HA's are cowards? you re cowards behind city walls!at least they are always fighting in open plains...
