Just curious if we've had anyone succeed at this 'mission'. You'll know what I'm talking about if you get the message during the game. I don't know if anyone's actually been able to do it yet.

Where is his body? I'll take it and use it as a footrest for my Baktrian king, it's all the bloody tyrant deserves! :inquisitive:

After capturing Alexandria with my Macedonian general, I got a message saying something about destroying the tomb and returning the body to Pella.

I took this as meaning destroying the tomb and taking the general back to Pella. Is this correct? I did this and nowt happened, just destroyed Alexanders tomb (sorry buddy!).

You have to stay in Alexandria for one turn and stuff.

I stayed for a few turns while I waited for my boat to arrive, so what bonus do you get?

On the turn after you destroyed the tomb, did you get a message like this:

Strategos, the body of Megas Alexandros has been prepared for the long journey back to Pella. Now it is time for you to return him to be buried beside his ancestors. Last time, the Ptolemies attacked and stole him away, but this time, you will personally escort him home.

Then your general would go and end his turn in Pella, and get another message and a title.

Ah, something was bugged with getting the message. But the general would get a title and an Influence bonus. After the patch, you'll get a message when the general ends his turn in Pella and buries Alexander.
