Caution Spoiler: Zeus mode in 13.5 years with only Pikemen! Upgrade long spear. Defend Macedonia or Thrace against the weakest army. Don't go a turn with both of them defeated. Head Noth via Sythia then East then South and capture Persia while upgrading money and leadership. Upgrade defense and attack and recovery. After that 50 pikemen can take on any army whatsoever when sent on one line in a stream.
There is an annoying bug that shows a black error messgage after a certain point of the game. Otherwise, great game and even semi-educational.

bobertlyer's hint is actually good specially the 3rd hint.. and just adding something its better to get about 6-8 lands for bigger income, since you already have greece and macedonia so just conquer Illyria, Dacia, Thrace, Scythia, Lydia, Phrygian.

There should be an "Attention!Enemy attacking territory!" instead of just having the enemy invade my territory and 3 seconds later...Game Ovah

also i use the hypaspist as my main soldier(by it before any weapon upgrades or other units but after a few money researches, it's a greek god send) and use scout cavalry swarming when my foot soldiers push them back to the edge.

Why does the cavalry slam through the spearmen easily? Even militia spearmen against scout cavalry, spearmen always wins.

GO STRAIGHT TO PERSIA. once you beat them, you can just load up on cahs and upgrade everything by ending days. they cant attack you

Wow..Once u got the most expensive unit (Cavalry companion) its like ur invincible, just stack units behind it and it will burst through enemy lines like there was nothing.

I beat all the countries and it didn't do anything. Is there supposed to be a finish or something. Otherwise, five stars.

oh, and stop complaining that you cannot defend your countries. You can counter armies and generals tell you about persian armies. How can an army be in two places at once?

Dont just say Alexander is a rip off. Ever heard of a genre? If you play it for at least 10 mins you realise this game is decent. Finding ways to beat enemy generals. recruit awesome armies of up to 200 men. upgrades are also cool. I would say Alexander is better than warlords. Enemy armies actually attack you in Alexander rather than sit there, waiting to be conquered like in Warlords. Alexander, in this case, presents more of a challenge.

Wait... The Persian empire was taken in 7.75 years by 479 men and 2449 Persians were killed... Something doesn't sound right here!

I was about to take Persia and then suddenly, there was a bug. This came up on the screen(Report this bug.) so I clicked X and some of my units were the same number. I couldn't select them by number.

İt's so simple and similiar to other games ( rome total war ) if the publisher wants a good rating he have to make more buildings, soldiers, soldier creation and a unique system that makes game more playable and attactive... And wth i lost my 3 regions while upgrading my soldier
