Yep! They are getting mobile artillery called Eveatos Palintonon (σβέλτος). Unlike the Roman mobile artillery, the caro ballista, which launches javelin size bolts, the Greek launches the canister shots, basically a cylindrical bucket filled with stones or lead pellet.

The range is shorter than the Romans or the Amazons mobile artillery, but can have devastating effect at closer range on close formation enemy units.

Eveatos Palintonon units accompanied Alexander the Great's expedition to Asia against the Persian Empire.

The main deployment difference is that the Romans deploy the Caro Ballistas en masse and embedded them with the legions. The Greek mobile artillery is originally part of a siege train. And their cultural requirement to recruit such units in the mod reflect this difference.
