What about the 'heavy peltast' type troops? Weren't they somewhat the precursor of the more heavily armed Thureos armed troops?
Also, the description of the Iphikratous Hoplitai seems to imply that some combination of it and the classical hoplite were in vogue. I'm really glad that KH will have some reforms for equipment in EBII to clear things up. I also hope that the stamina stats will be more balanced for KH. Its perhaps the greatest KH weakness because when compared to the Roman equivalents, KH elites have garbage stamina on their heavily armed and elite units which make them completely un-usuable against basically everything... Even their lighter armed units like the Iphikratous Hoplitai which have comparable equipment and need to be mobile has stats that make them hard to use effectively. :-\
