They are still useful against cavalry as no horse will willingly charge a bristling wall of spear points. They can be expected to hold a line against most light and medium infantry, though they will be devastated by missile troops, as they have virtually no protection from missiles aside from their shields and the bodies of their compatriots. They are organized in the phalanx and are quite high quality for militia, due to the dogged Hellenic spirit and fighting tradition.
Hoplitai Haploi The poorest citizens of the Hellenic and Makedonian poleis fought as a militia roughly organized along the lines of other, more professional hoplite soldiers. Phalanxes & cavalry dominate Epeirote armies in addition to Illyrian troops of various capability.
