    Use hoplitai haploi as garrison and divide your armies into 3 types:

    Classic hoplite style armies
    Just use hoplites, without swords, and as riders only the hippeis. There are still disputes about the role of akonkistai or toxotai, but I personally think you can use them too.

    Modern hoplite armies
    Use modern style hoplites a lot.The I. hoplitai, the thorakitai hopliatai, epiloktai(? The fast one) and peltastai as skirmishers. Use a little more cavallery than before. Maybe even eastern mercenary cavallery.

    Makedonian style armies
    Use the greek phalangitai as the core of your army, with thorakitai and thureporoi on the flanks. Try to use heavy cavallery a lot, but use hoplitai and other classic troops as a reserve behind your mainline.

    Of course you can add mercenarys, but the core of your units has to be greek
