Why doesn't Arco have Phalangites (Pikemen) ?

[PDF]

I've always wondered why Arco, that's clearly a Seleucid-type post-Alexander army, had Hoplites and Hypaspists but not the core unit of those armeis, the phalangite (pikemen with medium armor and shield).
I know the historical argument doesn't stand much for Dominions, but from a gameplay viewpoint, it would *also* give an interesting choice in Arco armies : Phalangite would have same gold cost than a Hoplite, but have Hypaspist-level armor and resource cost(or slightly less).
Just a thought ...
