Hoplitai

Hoplitai are classified into different groups:
*Palaioi - the average hoplite of Rise of Nations. Takes over their late-game appearance from Warbirth, later resembles the old Phalanx from vanilla RoN. Uses metal and wealth for recruitment.
*Hoplitai = THE hoplite. in other words replacement for the Palaioi who are recruited by most factions including Carthage and Illyria.
*Epilektoi = modern Corinthian hoplites, they trade mobility for armour.
*Logades - an elite, being the best units. Replaced by Hieros Lokhos for Carthage/Thebes, upgrades to Hypaspistai for Macedon and Epirus.
*Hoplitai Haploi : weak hoplites, but still useful as meat shields. Is primarily a Greek unit. Costs a heavy tonne of food and timber.
*Iphikratidai - longer spears, smaller shields. These are a proto-phalanx, used by Athens and Macedon.
