Thorakitai are -that- little bit more durable in guard mode though, best to have a few standing in the middle of the line. They can still charge and move around in a counter attack/rout chase, but they aren't as agile as the Thuerophoroi of course. Just place peltasts (once they depleted their javalins) and elites behind them as reserves and you'll be fine.

Yes, for the flanks, use Thuerophoroi. They are wonderful hellenic grunt troops.

I'm actually somewhat annoyed by the zerg-like nature of the Romans, is their AI tweaked to zerg or something?

Getai. Nuff said.
