As to answer your last question;
My longes campaings have been with Pontos and Pahlava. And i must say that the AS is very unoriginal with their armies.

I rarely see any thureophoroi, lonchoporoi, podromoi, Hetairoi Aspissth, Elephants, Cretan archers, chariots,....

They do enjoy TAB in my campaigns though. But they definetly overuse the Phalanxes. The only battle i had with them as Pahlava worth really mentioning, was near eddesa, where i won a huge victory indeed, (i was outnumbered 5:1 in numbers) and lost 70% of my army. Their king fell, and his army had about 6 phalangites, 2 Somatophylakes, 1 Cataphratc, 2 units of ATB, a few pandaptoi, slingers, glatian swordsmen, thorakitai and some machimoi auxilia from Egypt.
