The main weapon of most ancient infantry was the spear. And if you classified all the various types of spearmen under one or two simple units...The game would suck.

Vanilla pretty much did that, dinnit ?
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Repetative Units for Carthage
I think Carthage has one of the more varied rosters personally:
pike phalanx
various grades of close order hoplite style spears
loose order spears (including some very heavy)
javelin skirmishers
slingers
light loose order sword
medium loose order sword
heavy sword
elephants
heavy hellenistic cav
medium cav
light javelin cav
All those being a mixture of at least 3 culture types.
Nothing to complain about that I can see
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Re: Repetative Units for Carthage
Carthage is very cosmopolitan. It has:
- greek phalanx
- libyan phalanx
- numidian cavalry
- carthaginian heavy cavalry
- African elephants
- numidian skirmishers
- iberian swordsmen
- iberian spearmen
- iberian cavalry
- lusotannan mercenaries
What more do you want? Plus, we plan to add another 4-5 units.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

Even 19th century infantry still utilised spear warfare through bayonets.
