The big catapaults.

Lugoae are good for garrisons, imho. 240 unit size is not to be scoffed at.

Toxotai, Lugoae...
Or the Galatian Kluddolon.

The best use for those light spearmen is mauling heavy cav like Thessalians or Hetairoi. I know what you're thinking but if you can kill 25% of the unit by bogging them down with a unit or Parthian spears they're out of the battle and even if you don't finish them off later you've really hurt the enemy for the next battle.

Galatian Kluddolon

I'm amazed that some people find them to be so bad. They have solid stats for light infantry combined with fast moving and very good stamina. If you'r up against the Getai, they're pretty effective at taking down those Drapanai or Thraikoi Peltastai whereas most other units would suffer an anti-armour penalty.

I really like the Kluddolon too, I find them to be effective against both anti-armor shock troops and against skirmishers as well as being pretty good flankers in a pinch.

For the worst, I would have to say the toxotai.

As for the Galatian Kluddolon, in my Mak campaign, they form the bulk of my army that is stationed in Makedonia, and with a good general can defeat armies as big or bigger by the KH, Epeiros, or Getai, that have more heavily armored troops.
