Good strategy approach. Tactical suggestion against Greece.

Forresters work well against Greeks, but take a while to get through armored hoplites.

Concentrate your best cavalry into one force. Use forresters to thin the Greek cavalry. Then hit their cav with yours. Then use your cav against their missile troops (while avoiding the phalanx). Now your forresters can flank the hoplites (who are generally too slow) and shoot on the rear/non-shield flank. This will really thin them and let your swords go in at a numerical as well as h-t-h bonus advantage -- with a little judicious help from your wisely spear-shy cavalry.
