Review my Pergamene army

[QuintusSertorius]

Naked Galatians messing up the AI is a good point. Kluddolon are a less exploitative replacement.

I'm less convinced with formations geared around making them split their line; again with smaller armies that's asking to be locally outnumbered.

True, but IIRC that changed once they conquered several Seleucid territories in Asia Minor (and the military settlements therein), as you have done. You also have sufficient wealth to recruit many mercenaries, and access to Ionia and Hellas proper, so recruiting Hellenes is not going to be a problem for you.

In any case: Pergamon starts as a wealthy and influential city-state, but they attempted to transform into a real successor Empire. That would have required a different type of military as well. Phalangites have proven to be a winning model, and in the military settlements you have men trained as such. Why not use them?

Hmmm, you might have a point here. Perhaps the expansion should be to add two phalanx units and remove one of the hoplites, so they form the new centre. A couple of levy phalanx units, perhaps? Or perhaps mercenary mediums?

That would give me:

Cavalry (4 units):
2 x Family Members
1 x Gallic Light Cavalry/Thracian Medium Cavalry
1 x Eastern Light Cavalry/Thracian Light Cavalry

Line Infantry (7 units):
2 x Levy Phalanx/Mercenary Medium Phalanx
2 x Classical Hoplites
1 x Thureophoroi
1 x Celto-Hellenic Hoplites
1 x Kluddolon/Karian Warband

Light Infantry (3 units):
1 x Mercenary Kretan Archer
1 x Gallic Slingers
1 x Peltastai/Thracian Peltastai

With the flex if I wanted a bigger army in the either/or of Galatians/Karians and Peltastai/Thracian Peltastai becoming an and.

Deployment thus:
