Best way to simulate worn-out Hoplites ?

[Athos1660]

To have worn-out/demoralized Hoplites at the start of the battle of Ephesus (498 BC), should I rather :
1) make a couple of them disrupted from the beginning ? Often a very brief state.
2) use a few units of Shallow Armoured Hoplites, instead of plain Citizen/Armoured Hoplites ? It works well in the Marathon official scenario.
3) slightly reduce the number of men of a few units, from say 480 to around 400-430 ? For this option, is the only solution to create custom units in the Squads file with custom TotalMen ?
4) Use Raw Hoplites ?
5) Is there another solution ?

My goal is to make a bit weaker than plain Hoplites.

(I'm testing of these options, but would be happy to have advices)

Why not make them Raw?

That's the option I've been thinking just after hitting 'Submit' and added to OP

Thanks for the quick advice. Will test it right away !!!

Why not make them Raw?

Tested. Very nice working basis. During first test, I retreated from battle as Greek.
Thank you very much !

I won too easily with the Hoplites at the 3rd attempt, after a couple of small tweaks. Balancing scenarios is a hard task !
