With which units can he be played?

Miltiades is designed to be played with spears. He can also be played with pikes because of Fear and Break Ranks which allosw him to catch up with his enemies. He can also be played with slingers, because of his speed, and the lack of other commanders designed for this type of units. Finally, he can be played with Greek cavalry, although he is not designed for that and he can only use Fear with them.

What is his playstyle?/How to play with him?

Miltiades relies on speed and flanking to win most of his engagements. Going for the flanks of an engaged unit and using Fear on him is the most efficient way to use Miltiades. Therefore the playstyle of Miltiades is mostly an aggressive one.
Miltiades can also be used to hunt down skirmishers thanks to his speed and short cooldown charge.
Like every other Greek commander, Miltiades can use the Hoplite Phalanx and therefore be defensive.

Some tips

Break Ranks is a powerful ability, but it makes you vulnerable against charges. Disable it when you are about to get charged, or/and activate Hoplite Phalanx to stop the incoming charge.

Fear can be used to break a unit's morale, but also to slow a unit down. Think about using it on a unit you are chasing to slow it down!
