You can pwn those annoyinng Spartans, burn the Acropolis of Athens, kill elephants, restore Alexandros's body to it's right resting place, and get awesome allied armies of Thracian romphaias. But that's not the best part. No, the best part is being able to send the dog-sucking Romani filth to their ancestors. Sacking Roma 5 times. Burning down every destroyable building. Each time. Watching as the flames rise. Then leaving and coming back 20 years later with a full stack of Basternae when Roma is rebuilt. There is no sweeter sight than that of a falx slicing through the fancy armour of the Roman legions, watching as those bast**** fall to their deaths from the walls. Watching with joy the slaughter of thousands of pathetic Barbaroi, as all of their fancy armor does not protect them from the falxes of the Basternae. Watching as unarmored troops kick the ***es of well armored Romans. Watching as their arms are cleaved from their bodies. And then sacking Roma again. That is the best part of any Makedonia campaign. All hail Makedonia!
