Alexander (2004) PC

The game is dedicated to the events that took place about 150 years BC, namely, the campaigns of Alexander the Great. You will have to play in real time, so the reaction speed and timeliness of decisions are necessary. In addition to military campaigns, there is a system of economy and trade.

Conquer half the world

Before you go on a campaign of conquest, you need to develop your own economy. To do this, you need to extract resources or purchase them on the market.

Resources in Alexander classic:

• meal;
• tree;
• stone;
• iron (although 150 years BC it has not been used yet);
• gold.

Most military units are also easy to recognize (infantry, cavalry, elephants, archers). An interesting innovation is the detachments of cavalry (20, 30, 40 horses) and infantry (36, 64, 100 soldiers). In the squad, morale is added to each unit, and the military group itself gains experience. There are two types of formation – for attack and defense.

4 countries of the Ancient World are available for the game:

• Egypt;
• India;
• Macedonia;
• Persia.

Each country has a standard set of units, as well as its own, unique soldiers. In addition, each state has its own heroes that affect any parameters of units or buildings. You can choose the hero yourself, but out of the three possible ones, you can take only one character into the company.

Egypt:

1. Nectanebo – heals soldiers, priests also have the ability to heal.
2. Horemheb – increases the amount of gold mined, makes the cavalry tenacious.
3. Azelmikos – raises the rate of reproduction of infantry.

India:

1. Por – increases the level of maximum health and protection of war elephants.
2. Sambus – reduces the cost of cavalry and improves its protection.
3. Abisar – accelerates the extraction of provisions.

Macedonia:

1. Alexander – improves the attack of heavy soldiers, seriously raises morale.
2. Ptolemy – increases the health and protection of infantry.
3. Parmenion – improves the protection of ships.

Persia:

1. Darius III – reduces the enemy's defense, accelerates the extraction of stone.
2. Ohus – increases the shooting distance of archers.
3. Bess – improves the attack and defense of cavalry.

Despite the well-thought-out gameplay and beautiful graphics, the game came out as a strong middling. This is due to the fact that Alexander from Game World does not offer anything new and unique. Yes, the picture is beautiful, everything is carefully optimized, and there are no bugs. But at the same time, the game does not stand out in any way, everyt
