The resource costs of Hypaspists have doubled!
This now makes the Cardaces much more attractive and the Hypaspists near worthless.

The hypaspists near worthless? If you compare them with cardaces gold10 res6: they have morale +4 attack +1 defense, +1 prot +7. If you compare them with hoplites: gold11 res 28, they have prot -4, morale +2, def +4, strat move +1. I think they fill a niche between the hoplites and the cardaces, especially in the early game where you have a limited number of castles.
