Also Alexander has his own unique general model. And the Macedonian models are different.
Alexander on the campagin map.

Parmenion

The Persians just use the eastern ones as was said.

wow! nice. you must have been exterminating alot with Alexander.

I don't know if you have Alexander but in lieu of a intro movie CA put in a cut scene of sorts. When you load up the campagin Brian Blessed voice starts on with an introduciton. He told me to exterminate to keep control, so exterminate I did. devil:

that's a bit crazy.
maybe exterminate the Greek Cities, but the rest? it would be better if Alexander could take over eastern cities without any trouble. like in history...

Well there is only 1 Greek city, Sparta. And you start controlling it. The map is very stylized (It looks a lot like the maps shown in the movie Alexander) and abreviated. There are only 32 or 33 provinces and 1 is India which you can't get to.

The Indians aren't in the campagin. India is a Persian province, and it's thus impossible to defeat the Persians. As you can't cross the Indus. And the there is a line of coastal trees that are impassable. I do think a screen is in order.

Yes, that really puts me of this campaign. I don't like exterminating and I don't think Alexander did it to the extent to which this campaign is geared (did he do it twice or something?). Does anyone know if Alexander enslaved the cities?

Any modders know how to change the default happiness of a settlement?

I'd like to give this campaign a go with a no extermination houserule (& a no retraining one) but suspect it is unplayable if you do. I'd also use the "Total Realism" mini-mod to slow movement and raise defence & morale by 10.

But I guess I'll just have to wait until Lusted finishes his mod.
