I know, it's just that I find it weird that they can't build what's I believe is supposed to be their main unit.

Is it for gameplay reason so that they don't get too powerful? Or was there some hoplite shortage historically or something?

Also why can't you cross by land to that southern top on the Pelleponessus? (that part where there's territory from three other lands and is meant to be a mercenary hub).
