Good Iphikratean Army in my opinion (for KH)
1x Somatophylakes Strategou
2x Hippeis
2x Sphendonetai
2x Thorakitai Hoplitai
3x Thorakitai
4x Iphikratous Hoplitai
4x Thureophoroi
2x Peltastai
Use Thorakitai to hold the center, along with some Thorakitai Hoplitai on their side. Thureophoroi stand in reserve and give their javelins, while Iphikratous hoplitai flank. The Peltastai and Hippeis are tactical team, and sphendonetai are missile support.

I actualy in my campaing i use then all. :P
I mean normaly i have the classical hoplitais in the center and front, along with 1 or 2 phalangitais. And protecting their sides, i use torakitai, turophoroi, and those Iphikratous Hoplitai and his heavier form asweal. for flanking troops normaly i use local troops,and fast inf, like peltastoi sometimes and those light hoplitai. My slingers are always in front of my cav on the sides. Normaly i dont have more than 2 kind of troops in a army. So it is always pretty ballanced.
Thorakitai hoplitai arent a modern unit![]()
