'let me guess. You don't consider Alexander's army to be hellenistic...'

The Hellenistic period of Ancient Greek history was the period between the DEATH of Alexander the Great (Alexander III of Macedon) in 323 BC and the annexation of the Greek peninsula and islands by Rome in 146 BC. How can you talk about these things if you know nothing about them? Let someone else speak. Macedonia under Alexander the Great was never considered a hellenistic nation because the hellenistic era hadn't even started(!) during the rule of Alexander.

'You contradict yourself in these two sentenses. Either you state that some of Argyraspides fought as elite phalanx, either you state that phalanx was never equipped that way. Make your choice, please.'

I talked about the Royal Guard not the Phalanx itself.. these are competely different units!.. Argyraspides are the Royal Guard not the Phalanx.. Sometimes they just used this formation..

'in EB you can recruit akontistai in all the places the Greeks ruled'

So i guess the eastern provinces of the map weren't controled by the seleucids.. because i saw that you can't recruit akontistai there..
