Rome Total War Alexander

Rome Total War Alexander is the official addition to the computer video game in the genre of global turn–based strategy Rome Total War, the events of which are transferred to the reign of the King of Macedonia and Greece – Alexander the Great. The game tells about the confrontation between the Persians and the Greeks for power in the Middle East.

On the one hand, the addition brings useful innovations, but on the other it limits the gameplay – diplomacy was practically removed here and the size of the virtual world was significantly reduced, and therefore the addition was met with extremely ambiguity.

A well-known British studio called Creative Assembly worked on the creation of the add-on.

Gameplay Features

The addition of Rome Total War Alexander has become somewhat more complicated than the original game. The thing is that the developers have set a limit on the number of moves for which it is necessary to capture thirty cities and destroy the Persian Empire. A total of 100 moves are available, which makes you act extremely quickly. However, such a decision looks canonical, because in reality Alexander the Great conquered Persia extremely quickly.

In addition, you can only play here for one faction – for Macedonia. There is no opportunity to play for Persia and other countries.

Among the key gameplay features of the strategy , it is necessary to highlight:

• the tactics of the game for Macedonia are significantly different from the rest – it is extremely important to use the advantages of all units in battles and act tactically competently, since in most cases you will always have to fight against the predominant forces of the enemy;
• added interesting historical battles with a fairly high level of difficulty;
• the role of commanders on the battlefield has been significantly increased – killing them is almost guaranteed to put the entire army to flight;
• the murder of Alexander or the flight of his personal guards immediately freezes
