RTORNES 4- Alexander the Great

In spring 334 BC, Alexander the Great crossed the Hellespont with an army of about 35,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry (i know how to spell that right now ), starting the first of his many conquests which would go all the way to India. What would have happened had Alexander been stopped at his landing or if he had been able to hold his empire? There are many possibilities for the writers of this NES. I give you RTOR 4!

I realize we are getting close to the holidays for many, and that some people will be going on vactions, so i picked what will most likely be a relatively short NES. This will be modded and told in the same form as RTOR 2 was.

It is Spring of 334 BC. Alexander of Macedonia has begun his historic invasion of Persia. Egpyt is in revolt against the Persian Empire forcing the Persians to send their navy to Egpyt to quell the revolts and leaving their coast undefended. Rome has begun their slow rise into power and Carthage remains a powerful city-state.

I will warn all of you right now, if you do not post within 48 hours of your last post without telling me where you are going or what you are doing then your nation will become NPC.

i'll be rome(?) (unless china will be open soon, becouse i prefer them much more...)

As I said I'll be Carthage.

I'll be Sparta

Reason china's not open is that Alexander wanted to invade it but he didn't know where it was. China won't be seeing much action so i left it NPC.

yes EQ, i ment that if all nations will be taken and one player will be left without a nation, so he could take rome and me china, ok?
for now i'm rome...

ill be mighty egypt!

I choose Macedonia(that is Alexander's nation is it not?)

Macedonia should be Alexanders nation, if thisgame is going for historically accuracy.

I´m India.

Jason: Yes i am going for historical accuracy, So Macedonia is Alexander's nation.

That leaves only Athens i guess. Jason, you want Athens?

I'll be China if Jason wants Athens.

Pachy I imagine that China would be too far away to be interesting while Persia would be alot more interesting

What is it with people and damned China lol? I've played it in a few games(the most recent being Horizon Wargame) and I can't stand the damned country lol!

The only way I made it bearable was by giving them a samurai-type culture like Japan...

So why do you all like China?!

Nemesis

I guess Ill try and fit this game in. Athens for me.

i geuss Persia would be fine then

i like? nah i LOVE china, espacaly becouse they are a comunism state that is still surviving... 2) she is so big, in land and in people (a reason i like mexico city, btw...) 3) china, well she's the only country that might be able, or have the reasons to destroy usa (wich i prety dislike...)
and EQ, i told that if all nations will be taken, so somone could take rome instead and i'll be china...

A communist Israeli who hates the USA? Have you had yourself psychoanalyzed?

Let's pretend the last two posts by troquelet and erez never happened. (I will not mention that the USA should have never supported isreal in the first place as all it got us was trouble or that Isreal is run by a idiot). Due to connection trouble the NES will be delayed to tomarrow. Pachy, you can take Rome as erez wants China. i would prefer Persia to be NPC as they will be the enemy for a while.
