=== Overall strategy===
While only being ever so slightly more heavily armoured but slower than conventiona Mistophoroi Hoplitai, Kimmeroi Hiplotai ("Cimmerian Hoplites") have one single purpose - and that is to defend the Thracian peoples from the depredations of Persian or Balkan units. Not only do they deal extra damage to enemy chariotry and missile cavalry of any kind, they in turn are highly resistant if facing Balkan or Persian melee cavalry. This means that they are even more effective than Greek units if used to hold a line against enemy cavalry, particularly so if the units are those used by the Achaemenidai, or those indigenous to the Balkan region - viz, Balkan Horsmen, Illyrioi Hippeis, Parthikoi Kataphraktoi - to name a few. As a result, this can be said to be one of the best units for use in the Getic or Odrysian roster, since these units also do proffer a military edge, not just against native Persian or Balkan civs, but against others who rely on Balkan units, such as Thrakioi Hippeis, who are present in many various Greek factions. Of less value, however, would be their attack bonus against ranged cavalry and chariots - Kimmeroi Hoplitai are spearmen, and thus not very fast runners, but they can be relied on to resist one unit in particular - the Harme Drepanophore used by the Achaemenidai.

====== Notes: ======
Most likely is a unit armed with aspis and dory.
* Version 1 - is based on a Guardsman. Replace leather armour with scale armour, and then get a proper crested helmet.
* Version 2 - uses a Heavy Axeman.
Best candidate - Asian heavy axe, with fancy pants. Give him a linothorax, and a proper helmet. Preferably a crested 1.
Animal designs for the aspis are the best bet.
