Yay, I guess I've made it, the first 3 UHV (terminology from RFC
) goals! The 5th one also (running Monarchy) is basically done.

Spoiler :
This is how Alexander's realm looks like in 340 BC:
Persian archers were rather tough to take down using only phalanxes. Also, a misfortune hit around 1100 BC - German city of Munich stole the copper which was the only metal I had - with culture. It was a mistake not to rush Germany. So, I needed to make 2 very important tech choices:
* Iron Working - to get my metal back
* Construction - catapults!
Meanwhile, I made peace with Persia, built libraries, assigned scientists in a couple of cities (London, Paris, Rome, Athens) and got a couple of academies done - one in Athens and two others in London and Paris.
Once I researched Construction, I produced/whipped catas like crazy. After that, Persia didn't stand a chance. The only difficulty was that they had already spread out to north. Meanwhile, Arabia DoW'ed on me. But I had to deal with them anyway. Damascus was the most recent city to fall.
I control 2 wonders:
* The Great Wall - Hatty built it for me
* The Hanging Gardens - built it myself (in Madrid).
So what's next? First, I'm gonna finish off Arabia. Then I'm gonna punish Germany for stealing the copper
After that, the vast fields of Russia must join the great empire of Alexander.
