    OK, I see, but would they not also produce some of the classical hoplites still, for old times sake?

    Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize that, but the army in control of the city at game start has Iphikratous Hoplitai and Thorakitai Hoplitai, and I'm assuming the EB team made the army composition this way because Thermon had embraced the new style of hoplite, so in that case, shouldn't you still produce the new style of hoplites in Thermon?
