After Alexander The Great

[JP Vieira]

After Alexander the Great’s death, his immense empire was divided among his Generals.
The armies those successors fielded owe much to the Macedonian army tradition mixed with local characteristics.
The Phalanx was the cornerstone of those armies.
Next we can see a Ptolemaic Phalangite.




A local innovation was the introduction of war elephants http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpose/jp_vieiras_portfolio/picture31921.aspx such was the case of Seleucids.
Mercenaries were also used in some numbers and Celts were among the people used on this task.http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpose/jp_vieiras_portfolio/picture43376.aspx

Looks nice. On only a semi-related note, one of my quips with Rome: Total War was its inaccurate portrayal of Ptolemaic Egyptian military forces...

 

[Pannonius]

Nice one, JP! And that Celtic warrior is awesome too.

Thanks to both of you for your comments.
I plan, in some months time, to post new artwork (with greater artistical quality and historical accuracy)

Sometimes, when games are released they tend to make the units ina generic way to save research time; but fortunally there are private teams that adress that matter and produce historically accurate units.
