    I find Hippakontistai very useful for KH. Four units of Hippakontistai throwing javelins behind the enemy line.... AI gets very nervous when his army's surrounded and breaks his frontal formation thus giving you serious advantage.
    Hippakontistai are very cheap and fast moving, you can recruit them almost everywhere from 1 level MIC. Nope, they are not "Zee Awesome Charge" cavalry, but they are useful.
