Sry,searched the other threads, but couldn't post in those I found, feel free to merge)

Some new screens but no substantial news from a german games site:







To sum it up, release date unknown,downloadble for a fee, six historic battles, 4 "new" factions (Macedonians,Persians,Indians and Barbarians),new units (i.e. Theban Sacred Band,indian Elephants and Maiden Guard)...

Link to german site:

They gave this link as reference, but it's dead:

hmm,it is a shame that for a game with screenshots it wont be coming out for quite a while.
Though it doesnt particulary look any better,there wont be many playble factions
Some india countrys,macedonia,Obviously greece.Though it shoudl be good facing entire elepahnt armies

If it's Alexander I'd assume they'd all be one faction. guess depends on when they start.

Anyway I'd given up hope, good to see there's still stuff going around on this.

Excellent. But I hope its a downloadable and not something we have to pay for.

We will have to pay, no doubt about that.I think the point of this whole experiment is not to keep (us) customers happy but rather to evaluate the possibilities of online distribution.

I hope there will be a way to buy it in stores though, as I don't have a credit card and I'm pretty sure I am going to buy it,though I was very disappointed with BI, I am a big Alex-fan and all the Alexander-mods aren't nowhere near completion.

Also, I think I've read somewhere,that there might be new architecture for the indians, new voice overs and the scans from the uk pc mag suggested that there are animations for spearmen fighting from elephants, nothing that couldn't be done by the modders but still...

Not necessarily. Macedon was the hegemon of the Greek city states before and after Alexander crossed the Dardanelles.

Screens look nice but nothing extraordinary tbh.

I like how Axelander looks just like Colin Farrel. It reminds me of MTW's El Cid
