WELCOME TO

ROME: TOTAL WAR™ ALEXANDER

Rome: Total War Alexander is a game of epic real-time warfare and empire

building, covering the period from 336 BC to 323 BC and the short but prodigious
career of Alexander the Great of Macedon - arguably the greatest military leader in
the history of mankind!

The tale is one of danger, courage, judgement and inspiration as you steer the tiny
kingdom of Macedon to mastery of the warlike tribes on its borders and the
unification of the squabbling Greek city-states, before turning your thoughts across
the narrow waters of the Hellespont to Macedon's historical enemy - the mighty
Persian Empire, seemingly impregnable under the rulership of King Darius!

Since Alexander conquered Persia and even fought his way down into India before
his premature death at the age of 33, you will also be racing against the sands of
time to achieve your goals before those sands run out!
