I mean Cretan archers in the army of the kingdom of Macedonia,not if they were used in general.

As for the hypaspists they were lighter infantry than the phalangites.
The royal pikemen are shown as heavier inf. than the phalanx pikemen in the Game.

I know Companions were Elite.The 1600 who took part in Alexander's campaign couldnt be all near the King.So maybe Elite Companions and companions could be better. And the equipment of "mac.cavalry" doesnt seem to me realistic.

In conclusion ,ok,Macedonians are not as inaccurately presented as the Egyptians (!!),but they could be better.
