Heirs of Alexander – Alexander’s Macedon and Ptolemaic Egypt
Brings Macedon’s roster from Alexander to the main game and historical accuracy to Egypt.
Macedon’s roster has been given its units from the Alexander campaign. Most units have simply been renamed and reskinned to their Alexander equivalent and some units like hypaspists and hoplites have been added.
Units replaced:
Companion Cavalry
Macedonian Cavalry-> Thessalian Cavalry
Greek Cavalry-> Allied Cavalry
Light Lancers -> Prodromoi
Royal Pikemen-> Foot Companions
Units Added:
Hypaspists
Hoplites
Cretan Archers
Agrianian Javelinmen
Egypt has been given a proper Hellenistic roster, with Macedonian phalanxes and cavalry supported by native light troops. They have also been given Greek character names, portraits, and general models.
Units Added:
Militia Hoplites
Levy Pikemen
Phalanx Pikemen
Royal Pikemen
Light Lancers
Greek Cavalry
Macedonian Cavalry
Companion Cavalry
Reworked Units:
Egyptian Chariots and Chariot Archers
General’s Bodyguard (early and late)
Egypt’s vanilla units are still usable in custom battle when set to classic unit balancing.
Carthage’s Poeni infantry now fight like Roman legions, with javelins and swords instead of in a phalanx.
