What Alexander is
Alexander is a real time strategy (rts) game developed by GSC Game World and released in 2004. It was published by Ubisoft Entertainment. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Alexander is an RTS based on the movie of the same same, and the real-life Alexander the Great. The game follows the same general path as the movie, and includes media straight from the film. Present in the game are Greek, Persian, Indian and Egyptian forces, with a campaign for each. The hybrid 2D/3D engine (2D units, 3D terrain - also used in Cossacks 2: Napoleonic Wars) allows for a very large number of troops on the field. This is used to good effect, as battles can easily contain hundreds of units. Finally, multiplayer and skirmish levels are available, and the soundtrack (of the game and the movie) is by the composer Vangelis.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are historical and warfare. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player.
