Is there any way to get them to use their spears by default, as as a hoplite unit I assume that they should be the primary weapon. I tried to get them to charge with them by using Alt attach, however they charged in with their swords, then swapped weapons once they were in melee... and got slaughtered... It just seems wrong somehow.
Use the alt attack command again once they are in meele, they will all pull out their spears and only use them. And I find the opposite, Pheraspidai are rubbish for me and I never use them, only Hypaspistai and Baktrian Agema.
