"The spartan were good soldiers, not super soldiers, and their numbers were few to begin with... ah but to conquer the world with spartans =) "

That's why i suggested replacing for example the Krypteia, since that had been mentioned before. That way, your not gaining any Spartan units. And i thought the idea of using the Spartan Phalanghite unit as a type of Marius reforms unit sounded like a good way to mix up the game a little bit.

And i think giving more exclusive units around Greece sounds like a really good idea. That way you can have basic units that aren't as good but can be trained elsewhere, and you ahve your main guys that need to be brought back to be retrained.
