Different units upgrade into different units. Warriors don't upgrade into spearmen/hoplites, they upgrade to swordsmen.

Yeah Warriors/Brutes upgrade into Swordsmen. The reason you're thinking they upgrade into Spearmen/Hoplites is because the Ancient Ruin that upgrades a unit upgrades a Warrior into a Spearman.

There is two land melee unit upgrade paths like TheGaleRider mentioned. Next ones are for G&K and BNW.

Upgrade path that requires iron:
Warrior-> Swordsman-> Longswordsman-> Musketman-> Rifleman-> Great War Infantry-> Infantry-> Mechanized Infantry

Anti-Mounted/Tank path (no iron):
Spearman-> Pikeman-> Lancer-> Anti-Tank Gun-> Attack Helicopter

Every unit type has it's own upgrade path. There are very few exceptions when unit jumps from one upgrade path to an another. One exception is when warrior is upgraded to spearman in ancient ruins. Reason for this upgrade path jump is simple, warrior can't be upgraded to a swordsman because of it's iron requirement.
