Noticed recently, Hoplite (non-elite) cannot buff each other

Playing Thracians and produced bunch of Hoplites, they don’t buff each other to gain +3 Armor, even when there were 3+ Hoplites near each other.

And they have odd attack hit sound, which is a faint metallic sound, like someone gently slaps a metal slap with their hand, with the microphone at good distance away.
