Nikesas Alexandreias - How to take Alexander home?

**Centurio Nixalsverdrus** · 07-22-2007, 18:19

Hi, I just conquered Alexandreia and the tomb of Megas Alexandros.

A few months ago I read that it is possible to return him to Pella / Aigai. So what do I exactly have to do to achieve this. It would be really great, especially very important for roleplay-purposes!

To bring the body of Alexander to it's proper place, the Nikesas Alexandrias needs to destroy the Tomb of Alexander, wait a turn for the body to be prepared for travel, and then proceed to Pella. There he needs to wait another turn for Alexander to be reinterred. That's all there is to it.

Centurio Nixalsverdruss, could you please make a screenshot of the new building\trait\whatsoever which will be spawned when you place Alexandros back in Pella?

Can I destroy the tomb in the turn I conquered the city, or do I have to wait a turn? Can I move him out of the city, move him in later and then destroy the tomb? Can Nikesas A. go through another city on his way to Pella?

Do you get Alexander's body as an item in your Retinue? And what happens if the guy carrying him dies, esp. at sea?

You get a trait saying you have Alexander's body (ancillaries can't be removed by the game, ever). If they guy carrying him dies, Alexander is lost to the ages. You kind of have to do the quest right away and not have the General do other things or leave the city. Read the traits he gets, they should tell you what to do.

Given the way the test_message command (doesn't) work in RTW 1.5, don't expect to see the Alex's Tomb triumph working properly before EB2.

Thanks for the replies, I will do so and post a screenshot, but it will take some days.

I destroyed it in the turn I conquered the city, but no change in traits in the next turn; I reloaded and destroyed it in the turn following the conquest, but the same result: no new trait. Is it bugged or did I something wrong?
