Need Some Help in my KH campaign.

crimeia you get an excellent archer the bosphoran heavy´s in kreete you got the kretikoi in mainland greece you get the throrokitai´s and the rest

get some heavy cavarly either xistophoroi from sicily or the thessalians and the massalians and syracusan hoplites are also very usefull (particulary the massilians with their longswords for flanking are very versatile)

as for the elite phalanxs ranged missiles on their back then flank them on both sides with sword equiped units (if you can romphaians that you can recruit in tylis are amazing) and finish them off with a single powerfull noble cavalry on the back and they should crumble

you got acess to strong infantry strong missile units (rhodians and kretikoi) very decent cavlary and then horse archers and the bosphoran heavy archer in crimeia massilians and syracusan hoplites iberian units in emporion (and arse) and 3 extremly powerfull thakian units so you just have to learn how to use them combined and you can´t loose

I Never use 8 missile units plus 4 horse archers. Maximum missile units in my full stacks is 4-5.
After conquering Susa, I built MIC in order to be able to reqruit army to defend against numerus fulll stacks Seleucids sent against me. The first units I was able to reqruit were the eastern slingers and the heavy persian archers...
Furthermore I puted inside the city the 4 HA to protect them. They have just returned from Caucasus where they were reorganized.

After saving Susa I will use 4Kh Phalanghitai, 1 Rhodian and 1 Eastern Slinger, 1 Heavy Persian Archer, 1HA, 2Thorakitai, the Galatian Swordsmen, 2 Prodromoi (you can see them returning from Seleucia). I will complete the stack with Greek hoplites.

Recruit Anatolian and/or Cappadoccian hillmen from your provinces in Asia Minor. Haven't used them much myself, but from what I've heard they are great flankers. High lethality and AP bonus. They're cheap too. I'm not sure whether they're good enough to flank elite phalanxes but it might be worth trying.

They don't have the morale to flank elite phalanxes. That's their only weakness.

But they have good stamina, and if you happen to use experienced units, they´ll beat the hell out of any phalanx which is exhausted and allready depleted. Send them in too soon, or allow the enemy skirmishers decimate them, and they´ll die like flies. It´s all matter of timing, i´d say. The axemen, especially Eastern and Cappadocians, got several abilities making them a very versatile units:
ap weapons
good/very good stamina
missile weapons
All three used for the shock attack on a weakened elite unit make them very unique, while they´re still able to perform other duties guarding city walls, chasing down fleeing enemies etc.
In my current Pontic campaign i´ve established a "3 chevron" experienced troop production in Mazaka and under the command of a good general they make quite an impact ( though i do not extensively make use of them all the time ).
