Battle of Granicus: Fought in 334 BC, this battle marked Alexander's first step into conquering all of Persia.It was a decisive Macedonian victory and allowed them to establish hegemony over a majority of Greece. Battle of Chaeronea: This is the only battle to feature the Greek Cities, and was fought between King Philip II with his son, Alexander and a collection of Greek city states in 338 BC.There's a total of 6 battles, which feature set armies and factions on a specific map, designed to recreate the real famous battle. Like the base game, Alexander features historical battles. Their only redeeming feature is their ability to use Elephants on the battlefield. They have mostly weak spearmen, and poor archers. India: India does not appear in campaign mode, but is playable in Custom Matches.Unfortunately for the Player, they can also train elite troops such as Immortals. Fortunately for the Player, most of their armies are poorly equipped. Persia: The Persians begin the game with the largest amount of land.Macedon: You will have some of the best cavalry but also powerful hoplites.Thrace: They are essentially a city state and control Byzantium, blocking Alexander from crossing into Asia Minor.They could turn into a major threat if not defeated early in-game. Illyria: The Illyrians control the western half of the Balkans.Dahae: They are next to Persia on the campaign map, and will be a problem when you beat Persia.The Scythians are not a major threat to Macedonia. Scythia: The Scythians control the Scythia plains.The factions in Rome Total War: Alexander are: There is no extra campaign either to play the expansion like a traditional Total War game, it's locked to just Alexander's Macedon as the sole playable faction, though they are all playable in skirmish battles.

You are still unable to recruit diplomats as well as the new merchant that was added in the remaster and no other factions are unlocked to play in the campaign. The expansion is bundled in with Total War: Rome Remastered, but unlike Barbarian Invasion, the other expansion to Rome: Total War, Alexander has far fewer changes other than the standard HD units, map texture, etc. All nations start at war and are unable to broker peace due to diplomats being unavailable in the campaign. If Alexander is killed, or you fail to take 30 provinces and all the victory settlements, the campaign will fail. The goal in the game is to conquer 30 provinces in 100 turns. The main task of the game is to accomplish what Alexander the Great did, in a similar time period. It included a campaign, 6 historical battles, and new multiplayer options.

Rome: Total War: Alexander is the second expansion for Rome: Total War that was released on June 19, 2006.
