Alexander

Alexander is an RTS based on the movie of the same name and the real Alexander the Great. The game broadly follows the same path as the movie and includes media directly from the movie. Greek, Persian, Indian and Egyptian forces are represented in the game, and there is 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 comes in handy, as battles can easily involve hundreds of units. Besides, there are multiplayer and skirmish levels, and the soundtrack (of the game and the movie) is by composer Vangelis.
