    Their reform is, however like the Seleukid reform, which the OP also mentioned.

    Well, Makedonia's reforms where not even close to the Seleukid/Ptolemaic ones. The latter even developed sort of "legionary corps", which the Makedonians never did.

    I meant their EB reforms, where they only get one unit, but yeah I agree with you about real life, although the Makedonians did begin using the Thorakitai later on so it would be logical to suggest that if they had not been conquered they might have developed the Thorakitai in the same way as the Seleukids.

    Ah, I see. As for the Thorakitai, I think they never did (thus the EB team didn't include them in their roster) use them, but of course someone with better knowledge could verify that.

    I agree with you. They are filthy, fish smelling, over proud of their pathetic ''republic'' dogs. Pah! :-P

    actaully they did field the thorikita in considerable numbers after their phalanx was bested again and again in rough grounds... they had to chose between the hysteroi pezhetarioi or the thorikita due to model limits etc...same reason arche seleukid got the ubber tank thorikita but no hetaroi pezheteroi
