Use these options, or disable the doctrine altogether, as the situation demands.\n\n5. Phalangites are powerful, particularly against cavalry, but you should use them en masse: an individual Phalangite cannot attack a unit which is too close.\n\n6.

451200 "<PURPLE>Philip: Hold the line! Any man who turns his back will answer to me!"
451201 "<PURPLE>Philip: Alexander! Make yourself useful and go protect the baggage camp. And take that horrible horse with you — it's spooking the others."
451202 "<AQUA>Alexander: Finally, Bucephalus — a chance for glory."
451203 "<PURPLE>Philip: Be vigilant, boy: these Scythians are swift as they are devious. If they didn't all reek of mare's milk, you'd have no clue they were nearby until they slit your throat."
451204 "<AQUA>Alexander: I shall not disappoint you, father: this camp will not fall."
451205 "<AQUA>Alexander: Is there nothing more… princely for me to do, father?"
451206 "<PURPLE>Philip: You could get out of my ear and go see what Cleitus and Parmenion might want with you. Do as they tell you, and no more, boy."
451207 "<PURPLE>Philip: Scythians heading to your camp, Alexander. You'd better be ready for them — if you look weak, I look weak."
451208 "<PURPLE>Philip: Kill every one of them. You're in a man's world now."
451209 "<GREY>Cleitus: Alexander! Come over here!"
451210 "<GREY>Cleitus: Alexander! How's your first taste of battle been, lad?"
451211 "<AQUA>Alexander: Rather insubstantial, Cleitus. My father has confined me to watching the baggage."
451212 "<GREY>Cleitus: I might have something more exciting for you. The Scythians have dozens of those mad-eyed horses they ride, all stomping and snorting in a big pen. Maybe you could cause a little chaos."
451213 "<AQUA>Alexander: Take out the guard posts."
451214 "<AQUA>Alexander: What grand beasts these horses are… What fierce power, just waiting to be unleashed. They need only be spooked, and down the valley they will rush, over the bodies of their masters."
451215 "<AQUA>Alexander: What scares you, Bucephalus, besides your own shadow? Fire… Wild beasts… The scent of death…"
451216 "<AQUA>Alexander: Howling wolves… Perhaps they might scare the horses."
451217 "<AQUA>Alexander: Burn the buildings near the horses. That will set them to fright."
451218 "<AQUA>Alexander: Fly! Fly, golden-maned children of Poseidon!"
451219 "<GREY>Cleitus: Oho, what carnage! I've seen slaughterhouses less grisly than that valley right now. Fine work, lad."
451220 "<GREY>Cleitus: Alexander! You've been busy, haven't you? I was going to ask you to help me with those Scythian horses, but it seems you've pre-empted me."
451221 "<PURPLE>Philip: Stop fooling around with that siege equipment, boy."
451222 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Prince Alexander. Your father says I should put you to use. A Scythian convoy will arrive soon — take your men to the valley, hide in the tall grass, and then seize the wagons for me."
451223 "<AQUA>Alexander: Hiding, then stealing? This is thieves' work, Parmenion."
451224 "<BLUE>Parmenion: You should be glad of my devotion to your father, else I'd have you mucking out the stables."
451225 "<AQUA>Alexander: This is it. Get into position, men."
451226 "<AQUA>Alexander: Here they come… Ready…"
451227 "<AQUA>Alexander: Charge! Zeus Tropaios, strike my foes with shuddering panic!"
451228 "<BLUE>Parmenion: No shame in failure for one so inexperienced, Alexander… Though by your age, my sons had brought whole tribes to heel. Try to capture the next convoy."
451229 "<BLUE>Parmenion: It will give me no pleasure to tell your father how entirely unready you are for command. I do need those supplies though — they will have to come from your own stores."
451230 "<AQUA>Alexander: Another convoy approaches."
451231 "<BLUE>Parmenion: A worthwhile lesson, Alexander: a good commander waits, then strikes at the most opportune time — he does not go charging around like Achilles on the rampage. Now, bring me those supplies."
451232 "<AQUA>Alexander: Horsemen approach! To arms!"
451233 "<AQUA>Alexander: I've half a mind to keep this for myself. They're my spoils, spear-won."
451234 "<BLUE>Parmenion: You steer those carts so well, Alexander. Have you ever considered a career as a drover?"
451235 "<AQUA>Alexander: You may be father's favorite, Parmenion, but one day I will be king."
451236 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Do not put your personal desires above the needs of the realm, boy."
451237 "<AQUA>Alexander: A gift for you, Cleitus — from one warrior to another."
451238 "<GREY>Cleitus: Are those the carts that old Parmenion was after? He may be a miserable snob, but he serves your father well. I'll get this over to him."
451239 "<PURPLE>Philip: The Scythians quiver like barley awaiting the scythe. Parmenion, Cleitus: form up, and push!"
451240 "<AQUA>Alexander: Where should I station my men, father?"
451241 "<PURPLE>Philip: In their tents. You will not participate."
451242 "<AQUA>Alexander: When will he see that I am not just some child? On me, men — I'm going to find that Scythian king, and slay him, as Achilles slew Hector."
451243 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Stay back, Prince. This is men's work."
451244 "<PURPLE>Philip: I told you, boy: stay away."
451245 "<GREY>Cleitus: Alright lad, you can come watch the battle. Just don't tell your father I let you through."
451246 "<PURPLE>Philip: We're bleeding here. The line's going to collapse any minute!"
451247 "<AQUA>Alexander: Round the flank, men: that's the way."
451248 "<AQUA>Alexander: Atheas! I am Alexander, crown prince of Macedon. I have sought you out in the fray, that we – two men of royal blood – might decide this day."
451249 "<AQUA>Alexander: Behold, Scythians: your leader lies dead, and fiery-eyed Phobos, god of dread and rout, runs screaming through your ranks!"
451250 "<PURPLE>Philip: You're a disobedient wretch, boy. Things went well this time, but mark yourself: a hunting dog that slips the leash will eventually get put down. Now help load up the loot — we’re going home."
451251 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Near ninety years old, this Scythian king. Imagine that: his children wait decades for their father's throne, and die of old age with him still on it."
451252 "<AQUA>Alexander: It is an ill thing for a father to outlive his sons."
451253 "<AQUA>Alexander: My father treats me like a child. What makes him trust you, Cleitus?"
451254 "<GREY>Cleitus: Well... I kill his enemies. I tell the truth. And I don't stick around when he's seven cups deep."
451255 "<PURPLE>Philip: Useless child, you couldn't even protect a baggage camp!"
451256 "<PURPLE>Philip: Thundering Zeus, we are overrun!"

451600 "<RED>Triballi King: Philip! You seem to be using my lands as a highway. And I'm honored, for sure, but it is my right as king to extract tolls, fares, levies, et cetera. So give me some of that gold, eh?"
451601 "<PURPLE>Philip: Do you know who I am, barbarian? I am no merchant; I am king of Macedon, master of the plains and of the mountains. Now move, or I will gut you like a suckling pig."
451602 "<RED>Triballi King: You're a very unpleasant man, Philip. Archers!"   
451603 "<PURPLE>Philip: Alexander! Take the cavalry and kill those bowmen! Do not let those slavering jackals lay a finger on my loot."   
451604 "<BLUE>Parmenion: My king! Your thigh… There's a spearhead in it!"
451605 "<PURPLE>Philip: Get us out of this gorge! I shall… Yes, I'll have a little rest on this cart."
451606 "<GREY>Cleitus: The king's out cold, Parmenion. We'll have to organise the retreat ourselves."
451607 "<BLUE>Parmenion: The way ahead is blocked. We shall camp here while we clear the rocks."
451608 "<GREY>Cleitus: The Triballi aren't done with us, I'm sure — they'll sniff us out, like hunting dogs chasing a wounded stag. Defend the camp — Alexander, that means you too, lad."
451609 "<GREY>Cleitus: They're coming for the plunder! Don't let them get those carts — that's our loot, and I'm not about to let them… loot it."
451610 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Thundering Zeus, these tattooed reprobates are everywhere!"
451611 "<GREY>Cleitus: The rocks are almost cleared. There are two paths ahead: I suggest we take the more direct one."
451612 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Swarming with Triballi, no doubt. Take the longer route, the safer route. The king would agree with me, Cleitus."
451613 "<GREY>Cleitus: Well, in his absence we do have the crown prince. Alexander, what do you say?"
451614 "<AQUA>Alexander: The more numerous the enemy, the greater the glory."
451615 "<AQUA>Alexander: My father trusts you, Parmenion, and he will praise me for doing the same."
451616 "<GREY>Cleitus: We can't wait around forever. We're taking the direct route — you can argue with me later, Parmenion."
451617 "<GREY>Cleitus: Alright, time to move!"
451618 "<GREY>Cleitus: Triballi ahead! Sweep them from our path!"

451622 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Wolves! Stay together and run them through!"
451623 "<BLUE>Parmenion: What did I tell you? One of those Triballi nearly took my head off. Set up camp on that hill, it's the safest location."
451624 "<GREY>Cleitus: Sod that. Camp where supplies are plentiful. What do you say, Alexander?"
451625 "<GREY>Cleitus: The safer route, eh? Remind me never to ask you for directions, Parmenion. Now let's camp by that lake, where we can gather supplies."
451626 "<BLUE>Parmenion: The wagons will be completely exposed there. The hill is the secure position — you see that, Alexander?"
451627 "<AQUA>Alexander: I have assessed the terrain. The hill is most defensible."
451628 "<AQUA>Alexander: I have faith in our arms, not some mound of dirt."
451629 "<GREY>Cleitus: Right, my stomach's making the decision: we camp where the food is."

451632 "<GREY>Cleitus: Right, let's get moving before they resume their attacks. There's a wide valley up ahead — perfect for our cavalry, if we get into trouble."
451633 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Prince, we've lost enough men today. Take the less obvious route, the less guarded route, even if it is narrower."
451634 "<AQUA>Alexander: We shalln't squeeze through some narrow canyon while the Triballi take potshots at us. We head through the valley."
451635 "<AQUA>Alexander: We haven't the men to risk a fight on open ground."
451636 "<GREY>Cleitus: We've got to move. The men want to go through the valley, that's the way we'll go. Don't look at me like that, Parmenion."
451637 "<GREY>Cleitus: On your feet, everyone: we're moving."
451638 "<GREY>Cleitus: Cut them down! You've come this far, brave soldiers, now press on!"
451639 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Shields up, keep moving!"

// DIALOGUE

452000 "<PURPLE>Philip: Alexander! See those Thebans opposite your flank? I want you to break them. Then me and Parmenion can shatter the rest. Cleitus, keep an eye on the boy."
452001 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Aye sir. Right Alexander, rule number one of pitched engagements: control the ground, control the battle. You want to be fighting them out there, not fending them off from your camp."
452002 "<AQUA>Alexander: Finally, Cleitus — I am given the command I deserve. O, glorious day!"
452003 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Aye, a fine day for all sons of Macedon. Listen up now: I think your father's about to give his speech."
452004 "<PURPLE>Philip: Macedonians! I won't bore you with oratory — let me just recall what these Greeks say about you. They say your victories were won through luck, not skill. They call you brigands, not soldiers."
452005 "<PURPLE>Philip: They say you plunder sanctuaries and debauch yourselves in holy shrines. They call you drunkards, they call you liars, they call you scum. They call me a barbarian — me, a descendant of Heracles! Well, by the Twelve Gods, today I'll tear their tongues from their lying mouths, and let them choke on their slander."
452006 "<AQUA>Cleitus: You know, your father spent some time in Thebes as a youth — learned half of his tactics there. Some right smart generals they've got. You take the Theban commanders out, and the rest will panic."
452007 "<PURPLE>Philip: Try not to get yourself killed, boy — your mother would have my head, and I fear her wrath more than any Greek."
452008 "<PURPLE>Philip: Alexander, I hear you didn't lose a single wagon to those pilfering Triballians. So you get a share of the spoils... Finally something earned through your own sweat, not just your fortunate birth."
452009 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Hold the line there! If the Greeks take the field, they'll come barrelling into our camp next."
452010 "<PURPLE>Philip: Pay attention boy: they're trying to turn the left flank. Sort it out!"
452011 "<BLUE>Parmenion: They are trying to push through the centre. Philip, are you sure your boy is up to this?"
452012 "<PURPLE>Philip: They've broken through on the left! Alexander, you put this right, boy."
452013 "<PURPLE>Philip: How many times are you going to lose the flank today, boy? Can I rely on you or not?"
452014 "<PURPLE>Philip: The center of the field is wide open! You fix this, Alexander."
452015 "<PURPLE>Philip: Retake the center, boy!"
452016 "<PURPLE>Philip: Don't lose that position again. You've been warned."
452017 "<PURPLE>Philip: This time, you defend that spot with your life."
452018 "<PURPLE>Philip: All of our efforts culminate here, Parmenion. When the Greeks finally submit, Persia will be next — and you will establish a foothold for us in Asia Minor."
452019 "<BLUE>Parmenion: So long as you are king, I know that Macedon will prosper."
452020 "<AQUA>Alexander: This battle plan seems needlessly complex. Where is the glorious charge? A king should press the attack, always, lead his men into the bloody fray."
452021 "<AQUA>Cleitus: A dead king leads nobody."
452022 "<AQUA>Alexander: I have the strangest sensation, Cleitus — like a gnawing in the pit of my stomach."
452023 "<AQUA>Cleitus: That's nervousness, Alexander. We mortals feel it all the time."
452024 "<AQUA>Alexander: I have waited so long to show my father that I am worthy, but… Fortune is fickle. A thousands things can happen in the chaos of arms."
452025 "<AQUA>Cleitus: You've been trained all your life for this — all those tutors Philip hired, all those swordmasters and tacticians and riding instructors. There's no-one more ready for war than you, lad."
452026 "<AQUA>Alexander: Why do you prolong the battle, father, rather than striking at once? Does that not simply feed the enemy's hopes?"
452027 "<PURPLE>Philip: I see those tutors of yours were a waste of money. Think, boy: our men are professionals, hardened, drilled; the Greeks are amateurs. A longer battle favors us."
452028 "<PURPLE>Philip: Parmenion, if it comes to pass that I am no longer king, that boy will take my throne. And it will fall to you to see that he fulfils my plans. Don't let him be led astray by wittering soothsayers or simpering poets or those preening friends of his. You advise him, you tell him straight."
452029 "<PURPLE>Philip: The lavender grows thick in these perfumed valleys. Like a summer garden… Like maidens by a stream... And we'll stomp it into ruin. As men do."
452030 "<PURPLE>Philip: They're no Thracian warbands or Illyrian goat-snatchers, these Thebans. They're proper soldiers. I lived among them, back when I had two eyes — saw them batter their stuck-up rivals... Men worth killing."
452031 "<PURPLE>Philip: Don't foul this up, Alexander. Me and Parmenion have worked on this plan for days. We've worked on this invasion for years. It doesn't slip now."
452032 "<AQUA>Cleitus: One commander lies dead — look how their ranks quiver!"
452033 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Another commander down. Well done, lad."
452034 "<AQUA>Alexander: The pitiless spirits of death, those black-winged Keres stalk you, Thebans. Your commanders they drag by the feet, down to the dismal halls of Hades! Flee now, before you join them in death."
452035 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Only the Sacred Band remains: the Thebans' finest hoplites, unmatched in skill and strength — the men that laid low the Spartans!"
452036 "<AQUA>Alexander: Against the finest warriors of Greece I have stood, and I was not found wanting."
452037 "<PURPLE>Philip: You've achieved nothing yet, boy. Save the speeches and trophies for later: there are foes still to slay."
452038 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Look at these Theban panoplies — gleaming shields, ash wood spears, crested helmets that could make serving boys look like Myrmidons. What do you want done with it all?"
452039 "<AQUA>Alexander: Strip the bodies. The armor of my foes I claim as my prize, as did the kings of Homer."
452040 "<AQUA>Alexander: They died well, and deserve our respect. We shall send the panoplies back to Thebes."
452041 "<PURPLE>Philip: Rip into their flank, Alexander. Like gutting a pig."
452042 "<AQUA>Alexander: Stand tall, men! Imagine the terror those Greeks will feel: they entrusted their flank to the Thebans, but from the dust and tumult, we will emerge, thundering forth, the very image of death."
452043 "<PURPLE>Philip: What do you think you're doing, boy? You have your orders, now get back to your own flank and butcher those Thebans."
452044 "<AQUA>Cleitus: Well I never… The lad's struck diagonally across the battlefield, no thought for his own flank, and put the enemy to rout! I've never seen the likes of it!"
452045 "<PURPLE>Philip: Are my battle plans not good enough for you, Lord Alexander? You can thank Fortune you didn't get yourself killed — and while you're at it, you'd better pray that she douses my rage before I see you in camp. Now, do the Thebans."
452046 "<PURPLE>Philip: You chose this, Greeks. I didn't ask for your cities or your treasures or your love. I asked only that you recognise the law of power, and submit."
452047 "<PURPLE>Philip: We are undone! I never should have trusted you, boy!"
452048 "<PURPLE>Philip: You have led my men to death and ruin, you stupid child!"
452049 "<AQUA>Cleitus: We need to get men to the front lines faster. Put down some outposts on the route."

452415 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Without stone to build their theater, the thespians of Pydna grow disconsolate. Some have even given up the arts."
452416 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A festival is to be held in Leibethra not two weeks hence, but they say their cows are lamentably scrawny — hardly fit for sacrifice. Perhaps we can spare a few heifers?"
452417 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Let them sacrifice, let them feast, and let them remember whose hand fed both Gods and men."
452418 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The festival in Leibethra went ahead, but with embarrassingly meager offerings: stringy goats and sickly heifers."
452419 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: I hear of highwaymen and thugs, menacing the roads around Pella. They do not fear you as they did your father. Send some men, and show your strength."
452420 "<PURPLE>Alexander: In time, these people will learn to respect my laws, not simply fear my strength. But for now, we show force, as was my father's way."
452421 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Pella's bandit infestation has only grown through our lack of action. Travellers arrive battered and burgled."
452422 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The Dodonans write to you: they need laborers for… Let's see... A temple of Zeus. His favor would be advantageous, if we can spare the workers."
452423 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Zeus, father of gods and men, witness the temple we raise for you, and if it please you, bless our future endeavors in Asia, that we might make further offerings with the gold of the Persians."
452424 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The Dodonans write again: without your help, the temple has had to be scaled back. It's now more of a… Sacred shed."
452425 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Treachery afoot — an uprising! Your father knew well how to deal with insurrection: cut out the rot before it spreads."
452426 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The throne is mine by right, and I shall not be unseated by some jealous baron."
452427 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: More jealous lords rise against you!"
452428 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Another uprising! Short-sighted fools."
452429 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Yet another revolt — these traitors never learn."
452430 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: More barons defy you! Time to remind them who rules."
452431 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Let this be a lesson, rebels."
452432 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Treason meets its fitting end."
452433 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The king's justice is swift."
452434 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Ask not for mercy, traitors: you betrayed your rightful king."
452435 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The townsfolk speak of monstrous wolves lurking in the foothills. What do you say, Alexander — shall we grab the hunting spears?"
452436 "<PURPLE>Alexander: As Heracles slew the Erymanthian boar, so we have spared these gentle folk from ravening beasts."
452437 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The road to Larissa is menaced by highwaymen — helpless travellers mugged, priestesses and temple maids robbed of their ritual vessels!"
452438 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We leave no corner of this land to thugs and thieves."
452439 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: These towns will still need protecting, even when we're away in Asia. We should fortify them."
452440 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Let the people see these stout towers, and feel the sheltering hand of their lord protector."
452441 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Fire has ravaged the trading posts to the south. A careless cook or a particularly combustible business rivalry, I know not, but we should repair the damage."
452442 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Brush the ashes from your wares and restock your stalls, merchants. And pray diligently to Hermes, that no more misfortune may befall you."
452443 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: No disgrace in sheathing your sword until the omens come good, lad."
452444 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The man is paid; his blade is sharp. Now, we wait."
452445 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The assassin was successful. If your enemies will plot and scheme in the dark, that is where they will die."
452446 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Our assassin returned to us… Or at least his head did. Every nobleman in Macedon now witters about how we pay for murder — no matter that the target was a known conspirator!"
452447 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Father Zeus, see that those who conspire against the king are halted."
452448 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The coin is paid — our man is on his way."
452449 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Whether by poison or the blade, put down the conspirator."
452450 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Our man succeeded: the plotter met his end."
452451 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The traitor is dead, along with his conspiracy."
452452 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The deed is done, and treason forestalled."
452453 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The assassin is missing. Either he fled, or he failed — and I suspect the former."
452454 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Our hired blade has let us down — he was climbing into the traitor's bed chamber, fell, and broke his own spine."
452455 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The conspirator still lives; our assassin… Well, it is said he tried to hire another killer, who took the money and promptly murdered him."
452456 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: They will grumble, but they will fight."
452457 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: They give under protest — but when the world is won, they will swear they always believed."
452458 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Some wars are won with swords, others with coin."
452459 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The northern tribes attack the border towns!"
452460 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Raiders, come to sack our outlying settlements!"
452461 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Signal fires in the border towns! Send aid!"
452462 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The enemy is at our doorstep — defend the border towns!"
452463 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Distress signals from the outlying towns — they're under attack!"
452464 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Another settlement needs our help!"
452465 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Smoke, on the horizon! They're burning a town!"
452466 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The enemy rides through our lands, pillaging as they go."
452467 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: They're burning a town!"
452468 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Such wanton destruction."
452469 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The enemy pillages unchecked!"
452470 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A once-thriving marketplace, now ash."
452471 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: A town commander is dead!"
452472 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Brave Agathon is dead, fending off Thracians from his home town!"
452473 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: A town commander has fallen."
452474 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Balacrus is dead! Who will defend his town now?"
452475 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Asander has fallen. In defence of hearth and kin, an honorable way to go."
452476 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: They've killed Teutamus! Avenge him!"
452477 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: One of the towns has fallen! We need to get a grip on the border!"
452478 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Oimoi, a border town has been completely ransacked."
452479 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The border is a smoking wasteland. We've been thoroughly pillaged."
452480 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Devastation… Our finest monuments, ruined."
452481 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: You're getting a firm grip on things here, lad. I've gathered up your father's siege engineers — they're ready to serve."
452482 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The siege engineers are cooking up some real delights for you, Alexander. Your foes won't stand a chance."
452483 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: None question you any longer, Alexander. Now, my king, let's finish off those tribes."
452484 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A letter from Parmenion: 'Being an unwavering servant to the realm of Macedon, and out of love for the late King Philip, I give my support to the rightful heir, Alexander. And in exchange, I will gladly accept command of the advance guard into Asia.'"
452485 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Scheming old curmudgeon. But I do need his support."
452486 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Philip was beastly to you… But if he could see you now, he would be impressed — whether he'd admit it or not."
452487 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Nothing I did ever impressed my father. But the things I will achieve, even he won't be able to scorn."
452488 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The Triballi should have cut us down when they had us trapped in those bleak ravines. They will stalk us no longer."
452489 "<BLUE>Oloros: Deathless Zalmoxis, you're the Macedonian that freed us from the Triballi! I never let a favor go unreturned."
452490 "<PURPLE>Alexander: They say the Getae are the noblest of the Thracians. Noble... They wait for a king to die, then swoop down upon defenceless border towns while his pyre still smoulders."
452491 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: What the… By the Twelve Gods, what is this vile scene of sacrifice? Three black rams, three young boys, three young girls — throats slit. Oimoi."
452492 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Pelion’s mountains were its bulwark. Now, the valleys echo with the sound of its collapse."
452493 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: It is said Poseidon favors the Taulantians most among all barbarians — they should not have strayed so far the coast."
452494 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: What a curious sanctuary! That statue — it is surely Orpheus, with his golden lyre, so beloved among the Thracians."
452495 "<PURPLE>Alexander: A pleasant thing to find in such barbarous lands, though miserably dilapidated. I would see it rebuilt."
452496 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Once more, the lyre sings in Orpheus's sanctuary. The myrtles whisper, the cypress sways, the very air shivers with song."
452497 "<PURPLE>Alexander: None yet stand against me. I could not have done this without you, Hephaistion. As the bard says, \"A friend with an understanding heart...\""
452498 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: ...is worth no less than a brother."
452499 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Your subjects have lost heart! Open rebellion! Oimoi."

// DIALOGUE

452800 "<BLUE>Langaros: Never you fear, noble Cleitus. We shall scour these valleys of those treacherous tribes who would dare to defy your honored king."
452801 "<GREY>Cleitus: So this isn't just an excuse to line your coffers?"
452802 "<BLUE>Langaros: Cleitus, please. I'm just being a worthy friend to your new king. If I happen to profit along the way... That's just a sure sign that the gods bless our alliance."
452803 "<BLUE>Langaros: They know we're here, men. They guard their gold with their lives — so we shall take both."
452804 "<BLUE>Langaros: Right, men. We shall strike out against their villages, plunder them as they have so often done to us. Sitalkes, you recall last winter, they stole your prize pig! Bryzos, look at your shield — the boss is still missing, no doubt tucked away in one of these squalid hamlets. So you see, boys: we’re not here as plunderers, we’re just taking back what’s ours."
452805 "<BLUE>Langaros: Silver pitchers, golden drinking horns, jewelled fibulae... Very tasteful."
452806 "<BLUE>Langaros: Bring the gold to me, boys. Any jewelry, any cauldrons, any diamond-encrusted nail clippers you can take home to your wives — let them know you’re worth their time."
452807 "<BLUE>Langaros: Take what you can carry — and then take more!"
452808 "<BLUE>Langaros: Strip the village clean. They would have done the same to us, just… less skilfully."
452809 "<BLUE>Langaros: Look at these coins — old king Cotys’ face on every one. The great Thracian unifier… How sad he'd be to see us all back to plundering one another. Ah well, this'll buy me a new battle axe or two."
452810 "<GREY>Cleitus: Come speak with me, Langaros — I've got a task befitting a true and noble friend of Macedon."
452811 "<GREY>Cleitus: Maybe you missed my invitation. I'll send my man to you."
452812 "<GREY>Cleitus: The Autariatae are massing north of here. You folk have experience building in these unaccommodating hills — think you could fortify the pass?"
452813 "<BLUE>Langaros: Might be worth building those forts — they'll stop the Autariatae from rushing straight through to our camp…"
452814 "<BLUE>Langaros: The forts are built, and not a moment too soon — I hear the thunder of hooves!"
452815 "<BLUE>Langaros: Those forts did their job, eh Cleitus? See, I'm not just a brawler, I'm something of an architect too."
452816 "<GREY>Cleitus: These tribes wouldn't cause half as much trouble if it weren't for those wine-addled bruisers that lead them. A sack of gold for every chieftain you kill."
452817 "<GREY>Cleitus: You're quite the killer, Langaros. Take these cavalry."
452818 "<BLUE>Langaros: His life was not worthless. To me, anyway."
452819 "<BLUE>Langaros: Rhaskos son of Zoltes, dead by my hand. You won't be snatching ornaments from above my hearth any longer, eh?"
452820 "<BLUE>Langaros: This fine fellow won’t be needing that jewelled brooch now, will he?"
452821 "<BLUE>Langaros: Warlike Pleistoros, oh mighty god of slaughter, see what devastation we wreak with your aid!"
452822 "<GREY>Cleitus: Ares favors you, Langaros. Judging by that loot, Hermes does too."
452823 "<BLUE>Langaros: I recognise that statuette... These lice-ridden reprobates were the ones who raided us last winter!"
452824 "<BLUE>Langaros: Three days ago you were tending your sheep. This is much more fun, isn't it boys?"
452825 "<BLUE>Langaros: Was this the tribe that raided us the summer before last? Took my best blade... Looks like I’ve got it back."
452826 "<BLUE>Langaros: Hey, I recognise that corpse. Skaiv, you cunning old fox. Couldn’t trick your way out of this one, could you?"
452827 "<BLUE>Langaros: Ah, these people were from Maedi stock. No wonder they had so much wealth — masterful horse thieves, this lot."
452828 "<BLUE>Langaros: Fine work, lads! We'll get ourselves some nice tattoos to commemorate this day."
452829 "<BLUE>Langaros: Oh, let it all come crashing down! I feel mighty, I feel strong, like an ox… Like an avalanche, sweeping down the mountainside!"
452830 "<BLUE>Langaros: Thrice-blessed Zalmoxis smiles upon your labors, men. Now let's smash the last of their fortresses, and scatter these miserable wretches to the hills."
452831 "<BLUE>Langaros: The fortresses that watched over these valleys lie in ruins. The shepherds are dead and the pasture lies open — now, my ravenous mountain lions, let's grab ourselves some plump lambs."
452832 "<BLUE>Langaros: Hey, Cleitus... I hear you've known Alexander since he was a boy — not that he's been a man very long. Any advice for impressing him?"
452833 "<GREY>Cleitus: If you can quote Homer and ride a horse, you're halfway there."
452834 "<BLUE>Langaros: Now that he's gone… What did you really think of old King Philip?"
452835 "<GREY>Cleitus: He was a brute. A womanizer, a drunkard; foul-tempered, coarse, devious…  And I'd have followed him to the ends of the earth."
452836 "<GREY>Cleitus: You fight well, Langaros. Keep this up and Alexander will be desperate to have the Agrianians along when we invade Persia."
452837 "<BLUE>Langaros: Persia? Oh, by Hermes… All this effort to befriend the lad, and he's off to get himself killed in Asia?"
452838 "<BLUE>Langaros: What does Alexander hope to achieve in Asia? You might snatch the cities of Ionia – they've changed hands more often than a drinking bowl at a banquet – but deep in the Great King's realm, where the real riches are… The Persians have armies in the millions, I hear."
452839 "<GREY>Cleitus: Philip too planned to invade Persia, and he was not given to folly."
452840 "<BLUE>Langaros: You Macedonians seal all your alliances through marriage, right? Now, I've heard that Alexander's half-sister is very fetching…"
452841 "<GREY>Cleitus: You want to marry a daughter of Philip? Brave man, Langaros… She'd put your household in order, that's for sure."
452842 "<BLUE>Langaros: Tell your king the Agrianians fought as if the gods themselves were watching. And if they weren’t, they missed a fine show!"
452843 "<GREY>Cleitus: Aye, I'll tell him just that. And I'm quite certain there will be a place for your men when we sail to Asia."
452844 "<BLUE>Langaros: By Zalmoxis, it's a complete disaster. Forget the gold and get out of here!"
452845 "<BLUE>Langaros: Now, I've heard that the late Philip's right-hand man – what's his name, Parmenio, Parmenion? – didn't get along too well with young Alexander."
452846 "<GREY>Cleitus: Parmenion has been a miserable grouch since he left his mother's womb. But he is a dutiful servant of Macedon, and he's pledged himself to Alexander. Parmenion's the one who's going to establish our bridgehead in Persia."

453207 "<GREEN>Aeropos: O, beautiful Artemis, I ask you, beg you, goddess — preserve me, and I'll sacrifice ten white goats for you. Succulent ones, too, not those stringy creatures that Peithon sells."
453208 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Swift-footed Artemis, strong-voiced Artemis, far-shooting Artemis, don't let me die. Watch over me, and I will raise you a statue, whatever it costs. Parian marble, and an ivory bow, and crystal for the eyes. And a proper stonemason to carve it, and I'll refuse him wine so his hands are steady."
453209 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Well, this is quite the situation. You lot still alive up there?"
453210 "<GREEN>Aeropos: General Perdiccas! Thank the Gods! Is Alexander here?"
453211 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: He's not far behind. You boys hold on just a little while longer. And try not to sound so scared, Aeropos — sets a bad example."
453212 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Alexander's on the horizon; the Thebans are already diverting their men to the outer walls. Now finish off the ones on the Cadmeia and make yourselves presentable."
453213 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Thebans, I have no wish to be your conqueror — join me willingly, and I shall gladly count you among our ranks when we cross into Asia."
453214 "<RED>Theban commander: Eis korakas, you milk-sucking sons of sows."
453215 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Oof, they'll regret that. You boys in the garrison — now that the Thebans are focused on us, you go cause some chaos in the city."
453216 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Sneak out, sabotage, then regroup at the Cadmeia before the Thebans can respond. Lightning raids, right? The longer we're roaming around out there, the more Thebans will come for us."
453217 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Get the sick and wounded out of their beds — we need every man we have!"
453218 "<RED>Theban commander: Look, boys — nothing left on the Cadmeia but hamstrung old men and panic-stricken recruits. Let's crack some skulls."
453219 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Get back here! We need every man defending the Cadmeia!"
453220 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Don't lose the Cadmeia. The Thebans might be distracted now but they'll keep coming for their acropolis."
453221 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Those Thebans aren't in the mood for mercy. You get those prisoners out of there before they get decapitated."
453222 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Oimoi, those screams... They're killing the prisoners!"
453223 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Look, the smithies!"
453224 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: No more patrols round the smithies, if you want to have another crack."
453225 "<GREEN>Aeropos: The fewer weapons they have, the less likely we are to get stabbed."
453226 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: A fine haul there, lads. Is that the armor of the Sacred Band? Alexander wiped them out at Chaeronea… And I think he's going to do in the rest of Thebans too."
453227 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Zeus preserve us! The Cadmeia is under attack!"
453228 "<GREEN>Aeropos: By the gods, we thought you lot were dead! Come with us — if we can distract the Thebans inside the city, Alexander can break in from without."
453229 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Look, the marketplace. They've got figs. Ripe, fresh figs. I haven’t eaten anything that wasn’t stale or salted for days."
453230 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Smoke rising from the agora. Keep it up, lads."
453231 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Those cow-pens — filled with beasts for sacrifice. Are any of you men experienced in cattle-rustling?"
453232 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Losing the heifers you've marked out for sacrifice? That's got to be demoralizing."
453233 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: That's the guardhouse there. Up and at them, Aeropos."
453234 "<GREEN>Aeropos: I quite enjoy destroying things. Yes, maybe I'm not such a bad fit for the military after all."
453235 "<GREEN>Aeropos: They've sent a patrol after us!"
453236 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Theban patrol incoming!"
453237 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Watch out — Theban patrol coming your way."
453238 "<GREEN>Aeropos: We should get back to the Cadmeia before the Thebans come after us."
453239 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Okay, the patrols have left the prison. Let's save those poor men."
453240 "<GREEN>Aeropos: The patrols have lessened around the cow pens. We could try for them again."
453241 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Those patrols are leaving the agora. Let's go again — I saw some sausages there that looked divine."
453242 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: They're moving their patrols away from the guardhouse. Have another go."
453243 "<GREEN>Aeropos: We haven't got space to store any more supplies."
453244 "<GREEN>Aeropos: The supplies are out. We must go and get more, even if it's dangerous."
453245 "<GREEN>Aeropos: Recover what you can from the dead. Oh, gods forgive us."
453246 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Eyes on the water, Aeropos — a Theban supply ship is headed downriver. Nab it when gets into the shallows."
453247 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Ah, a fine catch. I wouldn't go splashing around in that river though — half the city's chamber pots end up in there."
453248 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Another supply ship coming. See if you can snatch this one."
453249 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Don't sink it there, Aeropos! It's too deep, you'll salvage nothing. Get them in the shallows."
453250 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Our boys in the city have been wreaking merry havoc, and the Thebans are in disarray! Time to strike, I reckon."
453251 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Hearken to me, soldiers. None of us wished to bring death upon this eminent city. But just as the Thebans once forsook their Greek brothers and sided with the Persians, so now they have chosen perfidy and sedition. They assault our comrades on the Cadmeia, our stout-hearted friends: rush forth now to their aid!"
453252 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: I return from rocky Thrace. I think Langaros will prove an enthusiastic ally — and he offers you these strapping warriors."
453253 "<PURPLE>Alexander: You have your orders. Seize the city, raise our banners in its most hallowed precincts, and let the Thebans see that they rule here no longer."
453254 "<PURPLE>Alexander: When ivy-wreathed Dionysus came upon Thebes, and demanded that King Pentheus recognize his power, he was spurned; and the wrath of Dionysus was terrible indeed. When I stood before your walls, and made my demands, Thebans, you should have remembered the fate of Pentheus."
453255 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Amphion, O son of Zeus, who blessed this city with its walls in the age of heroes, I stand humbly before your tomb. Accept these offerings of oil and honey, and know that the violence I did to your creation was no affront to you."
453256 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The House of Pindar is not to be looted, torched, or in any way vandalised. That ancient poet once honored my family in verse; he alone among these brutes recognized the greatness of the Argeads."
453257 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Slake your thirst at the fountain of Ares. Fill yourselves with his love of strife, for there is still bloody work to do this day."
453258 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Oh, seven-gated city of Cadmus… You must be blind as Oedipus, to see Lord Alexander approach and bar your gates to his majesty."
453259 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: We hold the city, Alexander. No resistance left. I'll recall the soldiers."
453260 "<PURPLE>Alexander: You know, my father once destroyed Olynthus after it betrayed him. I thought that was cruelty. But now I see: either you make the price of rebellion clear, or you invite the knife in the back. Let the men loose. Let Thebes burn."
453261 "<GREEN>Aeropos: We're overrun! I never should have signed up, I should have stayed on the farm!"
453262 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Withdraw! Oh, what a disaster!"

// SCENARIO 07
//

453400 "7. The Battle of the Granicus"
453401 "River Granicus, 334 BCE"
453402 "As Alexander strikes into the Persian Empire, the satraps of Asia Minor march to confront him."
453403 "1. You are limited to 100 population and the Classical Age.\n\n2. In the deployment phase, observe the arrangement of the Persian army on the opposite bank. Then place an effective counter-unit in that section of the battle line by moving the relevant unit captain. Once the battle begins, your ally will take control of these forces and send them across the river with the rest of the troops.\n\n3. Persian morale can be damaged by finishing various quests. Macedonian morale will fall if a Captain is lost.\n\n4. Focus on completing objectives behind the Persian line. Getting involved in the main battle is not a good approach.\n\n5. Remember to spend your gold to recruit additional reinforcements at Commander Tents throughout the scenario.\n\n6. Your Royal Companion Cavalry have extra range with their spears. Use them to charge in and then retreat before taking many casualties."

453625 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Sacred fires, thronged with chanting magi, exhorting the foe to greater feats. Douse their flames."
453626 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: These golden trinkets are ours now."
453627 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: I smell cedar and frankincense: another of the Persians' sacred pyres."

453629 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Into their baggage camp, like wolves in a hen house!"
453630 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Look, Persians: your flank is turned and your baggage ransacked! Your linens, your victuals, all your pots and all your pans, defenceless!"
453631 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: The Persian standards! Burn them, lads."
453632 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Let the Persians see their banners burn! Turn those fine pigments black."
453633 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Their horse pens! You know what to do with those, lad."
453634 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Run hard, you silver-maned stallions, like luminous comets through an ashen sky!"
453635 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: A section of the line is in trouble — its captain is dead!"
453636 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Another brave captain lost. You must support the infantry, Alexander!"
453637 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Thundering Zeus, how many veteran officers will we lose this day?"
453638 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Oimoi talas, another officer dead."
453639 "<BLUE>Parmenion: What are you doing, Alexander? The men can't hold much longer!"
453640 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Our line is broken! You have led us all to ruin, boy!"
453641 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Into position, Parmenion."
453642 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Bring up the men!"
453643 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Quickly now, Parmenion."
453644 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Swiftness is the order of the day."
453645 "<PURPLE>Alexander: They are broken! By the Twelve Gods, I triumph!"
453646 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Not yet. The Persians may have fled, but their Greek mercenaries remain, encamped in the hills at the rear."
453647 "<PURPLE>Alexander: What self-respecting Greek would serve the Persian king? I shall deal with these myself. Each company is to send me the man who most distinguished himself today: these will form my hunting party."
453648 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Hard men, these Greek mercenaries. A blessing for us that the Persians were too distrustful to put them in the front line, but taking them out now will still be tough going."
453649 "<BLUE>Parmenion: I see you need some reserves, Alexander. It seems that ranging forward with your warrior band might be better suited to the pages of Homer than a modern battlefield."
453650 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Perdiccas, more reserves. Those men Parmenion gave me lacked the requisite spirit."
453651 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: These are the last reserves we have. Use them wisely."
453652 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: More reserves, Alexander."
453653 "<BLUE>Parmenion: The moment you face true soldiers, you are undone!"
453654 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The ravine divides here. They're holding both paths — you take one group out, and the other will have to fall back before they're outflanked."
453655 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: The others are retreating. Push on."
453656 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Assess the situation, lad, and choose your approach."
453657 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The day has been long, but do not slacken now, brave soldiers."
453658 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I see your camp behind you, traitors. You cannot continue to fall back much longer."
453659 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We have you cornered, Greeks, like hunters hemming in a growling boar."
453660 "<RED>Mercenary captain: Forgive us, Lord Alexander! Forgive us, and spare our lives!"
453661 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Mercy is the gift of the strong, and I bestow it on you."
453662 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Mercy? The Persians never spared the Greeks of Ionia, whom I have liberated, nor the temples of Athens, whose destruction I shall avenge. I am a foe to the Mede, and you are his willing servants."
453663 "<PURPLE>Alexander: A fine victory, Macedonians, and the first of many. Let Darius bear witness: I am not some marauder, to be dealt with by his lackeys; I am King Alexander, and I lay claim to this realm."

Perdiccas will try to defend the siege lines as best he can, but lacks the soldiers to do so alone.\n\n5.

// DIALOGUE

454000 "<YELLOW>Ada: Halicarnassus, jewel of Ionia… Now swarming with Persian rogues and their Greek mercenaries. Return my city to me, Alexander."
454001 "<PURPLE>Alexander: It will be so, I swear it. For a siege is no more than a battle of wills: the foe will come upon us, with all the ferocity of desperate men; but if we shatter their strongholds, they will abandon the defences."
454002 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: They come upon us, like ants pouring from a nest!"
454003 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: Your father was a masterful besieger. He knew that no two strongholds are alike: the methods by which you subdue one may not work for another, just as a huntsman trains one dog by the whistle and another by the stick."
454004 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Or just as an adulterous one-eyed king seduces some women with gifts and others with false promises."
454005 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We have the first breach! Saffron-robed Enyo, wall-breaker, your favor grants us victory!"
454006 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Another fort crumbles! Pallas Athena sees our efforts, and she rewards us richly."
454007 "<YELLOW>Ada: Oimoi, what will it take to make these men surrender? I shall rule over naught but rubble and rotting corpses."
454008 "<PURPLE>Alexander: When I seize the treasuries of Susa, you will have all you need to restore these fine walls."
454009 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Dig, brave sappers. Though the earth keeps your deeds from sight, know that your king esteems your toil."
454010 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Get going, sappers. There's as much glory to gain from picks and spades as swords and spears."
454011 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: Dig quickly — we cannot afford to fail now."
454012 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: The sapper tunnel has collapsed!"
454013 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Hungry beasts, these catapults. We'll need to bring in more ammunition — and no doubt our foes will try to stop us."
454014 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: You remember, Cleitus, how Philip would command the artillery? Stood, like the straight-backed helmsman of a mighty galley, pointing out targets, directing the salvos, discerning every weakness…"
454015 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Keep the stones coming, loose every shot you have — leave them swimming in rubble!"
454016 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: More catapult shots have arrived. Protect that cart."
454017 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: They've hit the cart! We'll bring in more, but we'll need to defend them."
454018 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: Our engineers have forded the river. They claim the bridge can support our siege towers. Once they are constructed, we shall find out…"
454019 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: The siege towers are ready, Alexander. We'll dock them at the walls, then your men can get in, take out the garrison commanders, capture the fort."
454020 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: The siege towers are at the wall! In we go, boys — kill those commanders."
454021 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: The siege towers are lost. I suggest that any future attempts be accompanied by a suitably sized force."
454022 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: More siege towers coming up. Ready the attack force."
454023 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Siege towers on the move. Make sure the infantry follow."
454024 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The cliffs on the right of the walls are sheer, and the fortifications nestle within them. No hope in getting a tower over them... Maybe some of the locals know a path?"
454025 "<YELLOW>Ada: There is a village nearby, Alexander. No doubt they despise the Persians' presence as much as I do. Perhaps they'd be willing to help."
454026 "<BLUE>Village Headman: Who are you? Persian? Greek? A Macedonian, you say? Gods give me strength… Whatever, look, you replace the provisions those lice-ridden mercenaries nicked from us, and we'll make it worth your while."
454027 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: A shepherd making demands of a king… Philip would not have entertained this."
454028 "<BLUE>Village Headman: I prefer you to the Persians already, let me tell you. Here, there's a way to get to one of those forts, a narrow pass, known only to us shepherds. We'll show you."
454029 "<BLUE>Village Headman: You Macedonians are no better than the Persians! Brutish, thieving, inbred plunderers, the lot of you!"
454030 "<BLUE>Village Headman: Please, no more! I’ll tell you what you want: there’s a pass through the mountains, known only to us shepherds — I'll show you, just call off your men!"
454031 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: In a proper state of disrepair, that fort. We'll make short work of this."
454032 "<PURPLE>Alexander: To the rams, men, and be swift. Once beneath the gates, your work begins."
454033 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Put your backs into it, boys! I've seen creeping vines move faster than those rams."
454034 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Come on lads — the faster you push, the less time you have to spend getting shot at."
454035 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Get those battering rams forward."
454036 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The gates are shattered! Now, bring down that fort."
454037 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The gates are down! Now smash that fort into splintered timbers and broken bricks."
454038 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Oh, I love the sound of those iron-headed rams — like the fists of Zeus himself. On to the fort!"
454039 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: The rams are lost. Valuable timber wasted."
454040 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: We've lost the rams!"
454041 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: It's all arranged: the gates have been opened and the fort sabotaged. Quickly — get inside and finish destroying it before our ploy is discovered!"
454042 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: It seems our silver has lost its shine — the gates are shut once more."
454043 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A heavy purse will open a gate faster than any ram. The fort within is ill-defended — now steal in quickly before the gates are barred once more!"
454044 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Loyalty bought with silver is the most fleeting kind of all. The gates are shut again."
454045 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Treason is cheap in this city."
454046 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Our ploy was discovered — the gates have been barred again."
454047 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Bears! And not the only den round here, if those half-eaten foragers are anything to go by."
454048 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Heracles blesses this hunt. Skin the bears, and look for more."
454049 "<PURPLE>Alexander: A fine haul. Get those bear pelts cured and tanned: I wish to display them."
454050 "<YELLOW>Ada: Those villains treat the royal island as a warehouse for their arms — half of them stolen, no doubt."
454051 "<YELLOW>Ada: Remove these baneful arms from the royal island. Perhaps your soldiers might have use for them — or send them as an offering to Delphi, that Apollo might bless your future endeavors."
454052 "<YELLOW>Ada: Many times have I consulted at Delphi, and never once had cause for regret."
454053 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Make use of these greaves and helmets, soldiers. There's no shortage of people who want to shoot you."
454054 "<YELLOW>Ada: My royal armorer will provide you with whatever you need."
454055 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: Some mercenaries of our own might prove useful here. I have identified some suitable candidates — ferocious as they are unmannered."
454056 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Ah, here we are: the armor of those mercenaries we executed at the Granicus, melted down as you ordered."
454057 "<YELLOW>Ada: Here, Alexander: take these soldiers. They followed me willingly into exile, and they will fight like Myrmidons to retake their home."
454058 "<YELLOW>Ada: Halicarnassus… I know her every street and avenue like the hands and heart of my own body. Every injury done to her I feel in my flesh."
454059 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Would that all the rulers in this world of dust and iron had such passion as you, Ada."
454060 "<YELLOW>Ada: When we have rebuilt, you must visit. There is no finer city in Ionia for salving the soul."
454061 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Is he not a marvel, Ada? I have never seen the like of it: people are drawn to Alexander like fawns to a stream."
454062 "<YELLOW>Ada: He is the very image of Achilles: godlike in countenance, and a dread hunter in the clash of arms. You must watch over him, Hephaistion."
454063 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: This was the city of Artemisia, wasn't it? Halicarnassus, home of the warrior queens…"
454064 "<YELLOW>Ada: Your blood parents must be fine folk, to have raised such a son."
454065 "<PURPLE>Alexander: My father was a brute. My mother was a volatile snake-charmer, more attentive to asps and vipers than her own brood."
454066 "<PURPLE>Parmenion: This city will be the ruin of us all! Retreat!"
454067 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The walls empty: they flee to the harbor, crowding onto ships, bewailing their defeat. Queen Ada: retake your rightful place as ruler of this fine city."
454068 "<YELLOW>Ada: So long did I pray for this; and then the gods sent you, Alexander. May you always be good to your friends, no matter how mighty you become."

454405 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Ahoy, Admiral Nearchos. How are things back on your native Crete? Dealt with that minotaur yet?"
454406 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Very droll, Perdiccas. Never mind minotaurs, the seas round here are infested with pirates — our fishing ships will need to be guarded."
454407 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Oh, I should mention: those offerings you sent to Delphi – the ones you liberated from Halicarnassus – they were very well-received. And the Delphians sent this prophecy: never will the scion of Heracles see his army vanquished, nor will he fall in the fray."
454408 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Gold is the sole desire of those pirates, and they care not how they acquire it. We could pay them off — better to part with coin than more brave sailors."
454409 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The basest of men are the easiest to turn."
454410 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Those foul corsairs will despoil our fleets no longer."
454411 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Since we no longer have need of the warships, we ought to scuttle them — the iron and timber will be better used for our land forces."
454412 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Fascinating fauna in this region, you know. Earlier I sketched a bearded vulture — they actually disdain meat, and live off bones. They drop them from great heights, smash them open, so they can suck out the marrow."
454413 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Oh, I forgot you were a naturalist as well as a sailor. It's like being lectured by Aristotle all over again, eh Hephaistion?"
454414 "<PURPLE>Alexander: My fever subsides. Fetch frankincense, and make offerings to Asklepios."
454415 "<BLUE>Parmenion: How good to see you well, King Alexander. We were all terribly worried."
454416 "<BLUE>Parmenion: How good to see you well, King Alexander. I wonder what afflicted you — perhaps it has something to do with all of these delightful bearskins you retrieved from Halicarnassus?"
454417 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Not all of the mountain dwellers are stupid enough to fight us. Got some nasty-looking axemen here who want employment — should they bring their horses or no?"
454418 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The Cilicians have ceased their attacks. They scurry in terror — from what?"
454419 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Darius is upon us! At last, the strings of fate draw us together. Fight me, King of Kings, and let undying glory be the victor's prize."
454420 "<ORANGE>Darius: Glory? Do you think us duellists in a poem or a fable? I am Lord of Asia, blessed of Ahuramazda, and I am here to evict a bandit from my realm."
454421 "<ORANGE>Darius: Feel the ground shiver; see the blinding flash of steel and gold. The fire of Ahuramazda I send upon you, daivas; your wickedness will shrivel in his blistering light."
454422 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Hold, men! Fear nothing but disgrace."
454423 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Those mountain-dwellers harried us like snapping hounds. Make them bend to us, and we can turn their viciousness against the Persians."
454424 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Scary bunch, these Cilicians. Darius is going to have his hands full."
454425 "<PURPLE>Alexander: My seers have sifted through sheeps' entrails and beheld the flight of circling birds. Their omens speak ill of your future, Darius."
454426 "<ORANGE>Darius: Disregard your wine-addled soothsayers. I have had magi observe the movements of ants and beetles, examine the ripples of raindrops in sacred vessels, divine the stars above: all portend that no Macedonian will slay me."
454427 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Fate has led me here, Darius. And as mighty Troy fell to the bronze-greaved Achaeans, so your empire will succumb to greater men."
454428 "<ORANGE>Darius: You forget, boy: not one of those bronze-greaved Achaeans enjoyed a happy homecoming."
454429 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Already, I have overcome your satraps, banished your armies, conquered your cities. Onward I shall march: Susa, Persepolis, Pasargadae will be mine. I shall drink from the Euphrates and hunt in the gardens of Babylon."
454430 "<ORANGE>Darius: And what will you do, Alexander, when there is no one left to conquer?"
454431 "<ORANGE>Darius: You think yourself a lion, but you are a vulture: you despoil my cities, you choke my rivers with putrid corpses, you murder men by the thousand and strip them while they bleed."
454432 "<PURPLE>Alexander: You forget, Darius: your ancestors did all these things and more to the Greeks. And now, the wrath of the gods is come."
454433 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I did not come here without cause, Darius. Persian gold has stoked every  war in Greece for years. And I know of your bribes to the Thracians, your constant letters urging the Greeks to rebellion… Some say you even paid for my father's death."
454434 "<ORANGE>Darius: I have millions more, child; Uxians, Cadusians, Arachosians - men who seek battle as a hunting dog relishes the bloody chase. And here: my chariots, adorned with ivory and amber and flesh-tearing steel."
454435 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Darius! Darius, you coward! Face me and prove your worth, you slinking jackal!"
454436 "<ORANGE>Darius: I have no need to throw away my kingdom in a single duel. A defeat for you means ruin; but I have millions more awaiting my summons."
454437 "<BLUE>Parmenion: We are undone! Father Zeus preserve us!"

454600 "10. Tyre Must Fall"
454601 "Tyre, 332 BCE"
454602 "Tyre, a city upon an island, bars its gates to Alexander. A grand causeway must be built across the waves."
454603 "1. The Siege Engineers will construct a causeway across the sea to Tyre. Protect the builders against ships by using siege weapons and ships of your own. Use land units to defeat any attempted Tyrian landings.\n\n2. You cannot build Imperial Age ships until Nearchos arrives, so you are likely to be outmatched by the Tyrian navy. Use siege weapons to compensate for this. You cannot build Leviathans at any point.\n\n3. When available, Helepoleis are excellent at destroying ships. They can be built by villagers using the building menu.\n\n4. The Tyrians will dedicate most of their resources to attacking the bridge builders, but if you fail to make progress on the causeway, they will be able to launch increasingly powerful attacks against your base. The longer you fail to extend the causeway, the more intense their attacks will become!\n\n5. The bridge builders will be continually replenished, but of course, allowing them to die will delay your progress.\n\n6. In this scenario, you may be able to select an additional aura bonus for Alexander. This will apply to any other allied units that his aura normally affects."

// DIALOGUE

454800 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Seize the old town, where the craven Tyrians used to dwell before they slunk off to their island. Then we shall begin work on our causeway, and bring just retribution to those who would slay diplomats and emissaries."
454801 "<BLUE>Parmenion: This is madness, Alexander. Tyre is nearly four stades from the mainland; surely it is not worth the time, the effort, the lives that will be lost."
454802 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I have been wronged, Parmenion; insulted, disregarded! No doubt a coward like you would let these Phoenicians bash down your door, spit in your hearth, kick your dog and sleep in your bed, but I shall not stand for their abuse."
454803 "<PURPLE>Alexander: This will be our base. Engineers, begin your work: any man who distinguishes himself will receive a purse of gold from my own hand."
454804 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Right, you lot: stones into the water, then drive stakes into the mud to keep them stable. Then you put the timbers on top. It won't look pretty, but it'll hold."
454805 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Are we ready for this, Alexander? Surely we'll need a fleet to defend against the Tyrian navy?"
454806 "<PURPLE>Alexander: All materials are to go towards the causeway. I have sent for Nearchos; he will soon come with ships and shipbuilding materials. Until then, be vigilant for any Tyrian landing parties, and repel their boats as best you can."
454807 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: That Tyrian navy is powerful. We don't have the materials or the knowledge to build anything that can rival them."
454808 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I have sent for Nearchos; he will soon come with a fleet, and expert shipwrights to construct the vessels we need."
454809 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The Tyrians are upon us!"
454810 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Let them come — I'm sure they'll want to admire our work."
454811 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: To arms! They’re landing troops on the shore!"
454812 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Parmenion, you may lack the stomach for our grand endeavors, but you can at least deal with these irksome landing parties."
454813 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: I'm sick of being pelted with bolts and arrows from those Tyrian ships. I tell you what we need: a helepolis. A big old siege tower with a ballista inside — that'll put some fear in them."
454814 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Where is Nearchos with the fleet? Probably off sketching some hideous lizard or taking clippings from a plant that eats chicken."
454815 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Furl up the sails! The fleet stands ready, Alexander, and we have timber and pitch to build further vessels."
454816 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Glad to hear it, admiral. We should begin construction immediately."
454817 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Ah, here they are. You remember those pirates we paid off in Cilicia? I offered them some work."
454818 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: You expect my sailors to toil alongside buccaneers and ruffians? This is most improper."
454819 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: I've met all sorts on the islands of the Aegean: philosophers, pentathletes… and plenty of talented marksmen seeking adventure. I could send for some?"
454820 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Your father knew when a fight was worth taking, and when it was folly. Why must you indulge your every impulse?"
454821 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I will not have limits put on my ambitions by the likes of you, Parmenion."
454822 "<BLUE>Parmenion: No, the gods will do that."
454823 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Last night I dreamt, Hephaistion, that Heracles himself escorted me into the city."
454824 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A portent of our success, to be sure, even if like Heracles we must undergo many labors."
454825 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Their resistance is unceasing. Is this one city truly worth so many lives?"
454826 "<PURPLE>Alexander: To avenge an insult, yes. And in any case, capturing Tyre will incapacitate the Persian navy, thus precluding any counter-invasion of Greece. So you see, my plans are not as frivolous as you allege."
454827 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Violent south-westerlies blow round these parts. That's why the waters round Tyre are so rough, you see."
454828 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Wind I can handle; I'm more concerned with all the Phoenicians trying to kill me."
454829 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Nothing like artillery fire to make you concentrate on your work, eh? Keep it up, engineers."
454830 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Fine progress! Not as futile a plan as you thought, Parmenion."
454831 "<BLUE>Parmenion: Why do you so delight in defying good sense? Do you think your father achieved greatness by following every mad desire that entered his head? No, it was through careful consideration, and the advice of experienced men, that he built the kingdom which you insist on throwing into peril."
454832 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: What the… Look at this: I cracked open this loaf of bread, and it's bleeding! Every loaf out of that oven, bloody as a raw steak! I'm no soothsayer, but that's a bad omen."
454833 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: No, no, this is wonderful! Don't you see: the bread bleeds from inside — it is the city, it is Tyre that will bleed."
454834 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The moment this causeway reaches Tyre, I want every man ready to break into the city. We have overcome the larger part of the danger — prepare now to sink your teeth into the fruit of your labors."
454835 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: Mhmm, easy going from here — those walls are only... A hundred cubits high, perhaps?"
454836 "<PURPLE>Perdiccas: The causeway is complete! Look at those grey faces on the battlements — not so brave without the sea to guard you, eh?"
454837 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Break down those gates. Then we press on to the palace, and claim this city."
454838 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The Temple of Melqart, from which you were so insolently barred, lies open to you now. Go, Alexander: gain the blessings of your ancestor Heracles."
454839 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Lion-skinned Heracles, slayer of giants, you who sacked the hallowed heights of Troy even before Achilles and Odysseus, I offer you these libations: finely pressed olive oil and honeyed wine."
454840 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Hermes, protector of heralds; Zeus Xenios, punisher of wrongs, I feel you at my back as I tear through these sin-soaked boulevards. Bear me on with righteous fury."
454841 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: The city is ours, Alexander. The men beg to be let loose — the siege was a trying one, and they want vengeance for our murdered emissaries."
454842 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Sack it."
454843 "<BLUE>Parmenion: I told you, boy: this was folly from the start!"

455202 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I will not steal a victory, Parmenion. By the light of day I shall look Darius in the eyes, and slay him."

455207 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Supplies are looking good over here, Alexander — just make sure the Persians don't plunder them during the fighting. We've got extra saddles, fresh spears, some rough wine — this stuff will either wipe out your fear of death, or make you welcome it."

455400 "12. The City at the End of the World"
455401 "Fergana Valley, 329 BCE"
455402 "In the remote valleys of Sogdia, Alexander builds a city like no other."
455403 "1. In this scenario, you will have no Villagers. To build your city, use the Town Center to select new districts. These will be built for you automatically.\n\n2. Each House in Alexandria generates resources. Most districts you build will add Houses. Economic districts will increase the amount of resources generated per house.\n\n3. You can gain production buildings by building other district types. Many districts will also add to the allied patrols which defend the city.\n\n4.  Raid Scythian camps to gain extra resources and decrease the enemy's strength. Balance your attacks against the Scythians with the need to defend your own city.\n\n5. Once you reach the Classical Age, you can train units at the Macedonian Command Post.\n\n6. The goal of this scenario is to build a sufficiently grand city; you are not required to destroy all of your enemies, but you can if you wish."

// DIALOGUE

455600 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We shall build my city here, in this crude and hostile waste, this primordial tract. Yes — that will be a feat worthy of a crown, since Darius denied me a duel."
455601 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A city is a hungry beast; we should begin resource production immediately."
455602 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: More houses means more people — and that means more citizens toiling in the fields, paying their taxes, filling our stores."
455603 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A fine start. From here we might build any number of new districts: we could further expand resource production, or build mustering grounds for soldiers, or defences — let your desire guide us, Alexander."
455604 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: We should keep developing the city, Alexander."
455605 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: There's a settlement to the south. Sogdians, I believe. They surely know this land better than we ever will — we ought to establish contact."
455606 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We should inspire these locals with our grand project. Make a speech, Perdiccas."
455607 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Er... right. Sogdians! Come out of those dirty hovels in which you live like goats and swine; change your threadbare trousers for a clean white tunic; embrace urban living like civilized folk."
455608 "<PURPLE>Alexander: From now on, Hephaistion will make the speeches. Sogdians, we wish only for fair exchange, seeking goods we lack and warriors who know the country."
455609 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: I require a literate and numerate man to administer the Sogdian embassy; a role far from glorious combat, but there will be double pay for the volunteer who swaps his spear for a stylus."
455610 "<PURPLE>Aeropos: I know my letters, sir, and that double pay would be spent worthily — I made some rather lavish promises to Artemis, and statues are surprisingly expensive."
455611 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Aeropos? Aiboi, I haven't seen you since Thebes! I thought you might have given up soldiering… But I suppose you've got to pay off those debts somehow."
455612 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The first of our Persian regiments has finished its training. How should they be armed?"
455613 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: The local hillmen have got my battalion pinned down on the eastern flank. We can repel their attacks, but we'll need help if you want to wipe them out."
455614 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: My battalion is holding as best it can over here, but these hillmen are like locusts. We need some support!"
455615 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: We're overrun! Alexander, the eastern flank lies open!"
455616 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: I thought I'd never be rid of those rabid hillmen… Though I'm sure their cousins and half-cousins and illegitimate sprogs will be along to cave my head in soon enough. Still, till then, I'm yours to command."
455617 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: The local Scythians haven't taken kindly to our presence — nomads rarely appreciate cities being built next to their pastures. They're massing an attack in the west."
455618 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: More Scythians on the horizon, and they are no scattered bands this time — this is their king’s host, and he means to test us in full."
455619 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: We have cultivated a fine town, though a mere sapling to the stately oak that will come."
455620 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Where once was naught but dust and mud, a mighty city now arises."
455621 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I will affix my name to no mere frontier outpost: this must be a true city. And into it we must bring something marvellous, something inspiring to the soul."
455622 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Now that I wear the diadem of the Achaemenids, it is right that I should plant gardens, turn idle earth to blooming parks. Yes: a paradeisos."
455623 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Let these valleys, hitherto ignorant of poetry save the warblings of goatherds, resound with tragic choruses. Sophocles' Ajax: this will be our first production."
455624 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Thundering Zeus! Alexander, we've got scores of unwashed hillmen coming from the east, and I don't think they're here to sample the baths."
455625 "<PURPLE>Aeropos: I... I don't mean to be a bother, but the Sogdians are looking a little agitated… Stringing bows, sharpening spears, that sort of thing."
455626 "<PURPLE>Aeropos: The Sogdians have betrayed us! Abandon the embassy! Oh, Artemis, get me out of here, and I'll find a plump cow for you — no, a hefty black bull… Ah, an aurochs, yes, with immense horns!"
455627 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: The Sogdians have turned on us! I never liked the look of those trouser-wearing satyrs."
455628 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: The Sogdians are attacking Alexandria!"
455629 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Hand over the goods, you fork-tongued Sogdian reprobates!"
455630 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Foul creatures, those Scythian horses — vicious as Cerberus, and just as ugly. I wager the Scythians wouldn't fight half as well on their own two feet."
455631 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Look at these muscle-bound steeds! No show ponies, these — they're bred for war. Ours now."
455632 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Get those horses properly shod: we shall have a race! The fiery horses of the Scythian steppe, here in Alexandria."
455633 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: No city grows great without the blessing of the gods — we should make offerings to secure their favor."
455634 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: What a huge heifer! An offering like that would keep Zeus sated for weeks — get it back to the city."
455635 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Father Zeus, far-seeing thunderer, master of Olympus: accept this offering and bless this city, O King of all Gods, that it may prosper beneath your sky."
455636 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I have claimed these lands, and I shall purge from them all who would do harm to my subjects."
455637 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The Scythian king masses his thundering hordes here. An unassailable host."
455638 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Flee; flee back to the scrubland, to the waste. I am Alexander, lord of war and founder of cities; Ares and Apollo alike watch over my work."
455639 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: Is no-one going to say it? Are we just going to build our jolly city, and forget all about Parmenion? He was a loyal soldier."
455640 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Loyal also to his treacherous son. You know as well as I do that after the traitor's execution – a judgement with which we all agreed – Parmenion would have incited his men against me."
455641 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: What would Philip have said about founding cities in the middle of nowhere, just for the sake of it? What would Parmenion have said?"
455642 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Parmenion would have grumbled and pontificated like a sanctimonious sophist. He never did appreciate glory, he was not fit to be a leader of men, and we are all better off without his constant naysaying."
455643 "<PURPLE>Cleitus: I may not have liked Parmenion – nobody liked Parmenion – but he deserved more respect than any of you ever gave him. And he deserved better than to be stabbed in the night."
455644 "<PURPLE>Alexander: You are drunk, Cleitus. I shall put it down to your unfamiliarity with the local fermented mare's milk. But you should take to your tent now."
455645 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: From nought but dust, a grand city; where there was desolation, life. Many cities now bear your name, Alexander, but this is the most extraordinary of all."
455646 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Abandon the city, before we're all slaughtered!"
455208 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: We've accumulated quite a variety of mounts. What will suit us best here — trained and disciplined or wild and dangerous?"

456402 "<RED>Ambhi: O Alexander, your arrival is a blessing. Accept what little aid my destitute kingdom can offer... And heed this warning: that king across the river, Porus is his name, and he is a beast — coarse and foul and vicious, a lover of violence and a worshipper of hate."
456403 "<PURPLE>Alexander: That is well with me, friend: I have been seeking a worthy foe."
456404 "<RED>Ambhi: Nonetheless, I should warn you: though his main force lies across the river, he will send his wicked hirelings to harass you here."
456405 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Enemy sighted! Get in position! It'll be slow going for them through that mud."
456406 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: This land is filled with mercenary companies: common as horses in Thessaly. No doubt Porus will send many more against us."
456407 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Porus has a gargantuan army. If we concentrate upon a single landing point, he is sure to overwhelm us, but if we strike at multiple locations, we can split his forces."

456409 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: We have some spare mounts, and men deserving promotion to the cavalry. How should they be equipped?"
456410 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Oi, Nearchos. You told me there'd be marvels in India — griffins and talking birds and giant gold-digging ants. So far, mainly mud."
456411 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Patience, man. Ctesias wrote of all those things and many more — manticores, dog-headed men, seven-cubit river worms… And we have no reason to believe he lied."
456412 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Dionysus came to this land: he taught the people to make wine and till the soil. And Heracles too came here, fathering many children."
456413 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Then I shall have no shortage of worthy foes."
456414 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Bucephalus hasn’t taken water today. Won't drink at all. Hephaistion, does this mean something, you think?"
456415 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: If it is a portent, it is a good one: we shall be masters of this river, and so Bucephalus will not lack for water."
456416 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: By the fetid barge-pole of Charon, I'm moist. Everything here is moist. I shall never be dry again."
456417 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: I think I'm coming down with fever, you know… Oh, which god have I offended to be stuck out here?"
456418 "<GREEN>Porus: I've waited long enough! The boy is clearly a coward — across the river, men."
456419 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: We have to put Porus back on the defensive. Only by striking across the river can we triumph."
456420 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Grab that mule, and the cart it's hitched to. Half of ours are dead of bottomland fever…"
456421 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: The rain has turned this spot to squelching mud. A good place to get shot."
456422 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: They lurk among the trees and roots here, bamboo bows tightly strung."
456423 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Thick mud here. Slow to wade through, especially when you're being pelted with arrows."
456424 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Remains of an old settlement here. If Porus is canny, he'll lay an ambush…"
456425 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: A steep and rocky approach. Their archers will rain hell upon us."
456426 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Open ground here. This is where they'll have their cavalry."
456427 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Flank their positions!"

456433 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We have our footholds. Now, maintain these positions, no matter what the foe may hurl against you."
456434 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: By Hades, what's that sound?"
456435 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Elephants! Pikemen, front!"
456436 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Don't waste your strikes on the elephants' hides! Stab for the eyes and hamstrings, or wait till they rear up, and into the underbelly!"
456437 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Keep those ranks ordered! If the man in front falls, you take his place."
456438 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Courage, men! Observe, a sign: a vast-winged osprey swooped down upon the river, and plucked from it a fish near twice its size! You see: outnumbered though we are, the fates have it that we shall possess this river."
456439 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Hold! Hold! We are lions, teeth deep in the bucking buffalo, and however hard the beast thrashes and kicks and rages, we shall subdue it."
456440 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Plant your feet! Show these men that we are not for turning."
456441 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: They must relent soon, surely — any more corpses and we shall be entombed beneath the bodies."
456442 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Take heart, take heart! We shall regroup, and try again."
456443 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Maintain the beachheads, whatever is thrown at you."
456444 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Their attacks are slowing…"
456445 "<GREEN>Porus: Now here’s a man who knows how to fight! He may be pasty, and short, and skinny, but he plunges into the fray like a leaping leopard. Let's have it out, Alexander!"
456446 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Press on, you warriors, you killers! O baneful Eris, hate-filled spirit of strife, we are yours."
456447 "<GREEN>Porus: To me, men! If we are to die, it will be with blood, with carnage, with so fierce and ruinous a slaughter that the earth will groan beneath the bodies!"
456448 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: O, glorious day! You do the impossible once again, Alexander. Cleitus would be proud."

456602 "Enraged by the defiance of the Cathaeans, Alexander orders their city of Sangala to be surrounded."
456603 "1. You will only be given 20 Villagers, and you cannot train more. Most of your resources must come from looting carts as enemies try to escape. You also cannot initially build siege weapons.\n\n2. Macedonian Fortified Outposts are ideal in this situation. Build them to give you vision on the enemy's movements, and speed up your units.\n\n3. Perdiccas will try his best to stop escapees on his side of the map, but he will not be able to manage alone for long. Keep an eye out\n\n4. It is futile to try to assault Sangala before Porus arrives with a large army and siege equipment; focus on stopping escape attempts.\n\n5. In his dismounted state, Alexander no longer increases the attack speed of nearby allies. Instead, he decreases the attack speed of certain nearby enemies. Any additional aura effects you have acquired in previous scenarios remain unchanged."

456810 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: They're readying another escape — in greater numbers this time."
456811 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Multiple groups trying to leave at once! And not all of them are sticking to the roads!"
456812 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I hunted my foes in the rocky hills of Thrace; I bridged the sea to seize Tyre; I pursued the Great King of Persia through deserts and mountains. I will not allow grocers and farmhands to slip away from me."
456813 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: By the rancid breath of Cerberus, they're using a new exit from the city."
456814 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Any who trade with the Cathaeans are also our enemies, and their goods are to be considered booty."
456815 "<PURPLE>Alexander: They are slipping through on your side, Perdiccas. Are you lacking in wits, or in guts?"
456816 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: In men, Alexander! I need assistance on this side — please, my friend."
456817 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Perdiccas is rather stretched, I must say. We must deploy troops to the left side."
456818 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Too many have slipped through! I will not allow these pusillanimous renegades to make a fool of me."
456819 "<PURPLE>Alexander: No more getaways! We cannot have these Cathaeans abscond with their wealth to every mercenary-infested corner of this land, and return with a baying host."
456820 "<PURPLE>Alexander: You heedless shirkers! You have allowed your king to be dishonored!"
456821 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: What exactly are we doing here, Alexander? These are Porus's enemies, not ours."
456822 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Is your appetite for glory slackening, Perdiccas? Porus is my governor now, my satrap, and any tribe that defies either of us is a deadly foe to my empire."
456823 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Bucephalus deserves a city in his name. A city like him: full of passion. A town of reveries and festivals, loud like the thundering herd; as majestic as Athens and as decadent as Corinth."
456824 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: I've still not seen any marvels, Nearchos. Just the usual… piles of corpses. When am I going to see an Amazon?"
456825 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Perhaps adjust your expectations. I showed you a talking bird: that multicolored marvel, the parrot, and all you did was teach it obscenities."
456826 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: King Porus sends word: he will soon be here, though the siege equipment slows him considerably. He offers to send a contingent ahead to you."
456827 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: There are rumblings, Alexander. Some of the men, they are starting to question…"
456828 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Question what? My orders, which have filled their knapsacks to bursting with treasure? My tactics, which have brought them glory to rival Heracles? The only question they should ask is what their king commands next."
456829 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Hephaistion, have you heard these rumors that Perdiccas speaks of? Men wavering?"
456830 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: You have always had doubters: first they said don't cross into Asia, then don't cross the Granicus; then we would die at Gaugamela, or at the Hydaspes… Every battle you fought, every city you founded, someone has doubted your vision. But always, always, you saw things true."
456831 "<GREEN>Porus: Oh, I smell the reek of slaughter. A miserable lot, these Cathaeans: vain, preening, arrogant braggarts; dyeing their beards ridiculous colors; scurrying inside their walls whenever someone offers them combat."
456832 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Would that all my foes would face me in the open field as you did, Porus. Like the kings of Homer. But we live in a sordid age, a wretched age, this age of iron."
456833 "<GREEN>Porus: Storm the city now, Alexander, while your men still have their blood up."
456834 "<GREEN>Porus: Shatter their walls! Taste the dust of broken mud brick on your tongues."
456835 "<GREEN>Porus: There is a new order, Cathaeans: now is the time of warrior kings. Your evasive tactics, your skulduggery, your shirking the glorious clash of arms — this will hold no longer!"
456836 "<GREEN>Porus: This is just the beginning, Alexander. Further east, there are lands where gold covers the earth like wheat in a field, and its rulers – the redoubtable Nandas – oh, they are men worth fighting."
456837 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Now all India sees, as every Greek and Thracian and Persian has seen, that any who impede me, I shall destroy utterly. The defiant I shall slaughter and the humble I shall welcome, as we march now to the great ocean that encircles the world."

// DIALOGUE

457200 "<PURPLE>Alexander: There is no road home but the one we carve into the earth. Take that city — or do you renounce fighting as well as marching?"
457201 "<GREEN>Nearchos: The city of Multan dominates this region. Like a hornet queen, she is large and imposing, but relies on her subjects. Conquer the outlying cities, and Multan will lie exposed."
457202 "<PURPLE>Alexander: We shall need a fleet, with a flagship worthy of my majesty. Hostile ships course through these rivers like poison in the veins; we shall cleanse them."
457203 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Gleaming trident of Poseidon, what a vessel! I, er... won't have to step foot on it, will I?"
457204 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Not seasick, are you? The indomitable Perdiccas fears something after all."
457205 "<GREEN>Nearchos: This village sits upon a shallow tidal basin — a fair spot to moor the flagship, which can then serve as a forward command post."
457206 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Pull in oars and furl sails! Get this ship onto dry land. While beached, the flagship will act as our forward base; when ready, we can move her to the next location."
457207 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: This desert heat is ridiculous! Every step takes twice the effort here. I've got a loincloth full of sand."
457208 "<PURPLE>Alexander: They fall like wheat before the scythe, but the field is vast. Let Charon's vessel creak beneath the weight of dead."
457209 "<PURPLE>Alexander: So many bodies, a feast for dogs and birds. Do you tire of slaughter, men? I see your shoulders slump. You could be processing now, garlanded in ivy, to the fabled Ganges, but no: here we are, hacking our way back to Macedon."
457210 "<GREEN>Nearchos: You know, the Oxydracians and the Malloi usually despise one another — it is only our arrival that made them form an alliance."
457211 "<GREEN>Nearchos: While Multan is the primary naval base, the outlying Malloi cities are where the foe's land forces are concentrated."
457212 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Multan sits in the river like a toad on a lilypad. They entrust their defence to their ships — which they will send upon us relentlessly."
457213 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The first buttress of Multan's power is smashed. And I shall shatter the rest, one by one."
457214 "<PURPLE>Alexander: A warlike people, these. They see the approach of our scarred and scowling host, and do not scatter."
457215 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Where is that little man with the nervous expression — the one I put in charge of the accounts? He has fresh plunder to tally."
457216 "<PURPLE>Aeropos: Coming, sir! You're quite sure that all the defenders are dead?"
457217 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Nearchos, Perdiccas: rouse your men and have them ready to receive orders."
457218 "<GREEN>Nearchos: At once."
457219 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Rowers, double time!"
457220 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Unfurl sails!"
457221 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Let's get going, men."
457222 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: On your feet, boys."
457223 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Time to march."
457224 "<GREEN>Nearchos: The local timber has some very curious qualities. I've been working on a couple of potential improvements to the flagship."
457225 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Many of the local tribes hate the Malloi. Two of them have offered us their soldiers… But since they also hate each other, we can only accept one."
457226 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: What a preposterous situation."
457227 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: A crying shame that the men wouldn't go on, truly is. But you know, Alexander, they have a point: it's been near a decade since we saw Macedon."
457228 "<PURPLE>Alexander: What glory would Heracles have gained had he confined himself to Tiryns or Argos? You should be thanking me for saving from you a life of border skirmishes with half-dressed Illyrians."
457229 "<PURPLE>Alexander: What glories we leave to wither. What sights we leave unseen. Nearchos, do you not wish to spar with griffins and manticores, rather than cut your way through obstinate tribesmen on this premature return?"
457230 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Perhaps on a future expedition. For now… My logbooks are filled with accounts and drawings of extraordinary things, and we may yet see more on the voyage home."
457231 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: I've still not seen any monsters, you know. Well, except these mosquitos... Slurping up my blood, drunk and bloated like satyrs at a wedding."
457232 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Soon we shall reach the coast, and then you'll be sharing wine with the nereids."
457233 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Once we reach the southern coast, and launch into the ocean, what a voyage we shall have. A fresh breeze, the horizon filled with opportunity, and no more walking everywhere."
457234 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Don't forget the sunburn, the cramped quarters, the hard tack… What do you mariners put in those ship's biscuits, anyway?"
457235 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I am vexed, Hephaistion. These soldiers I hold dear as brothers, care for as sons. But their petty concerns, their lack of will, their rejection of glory… Sometimes I feel stranded, as though some unfordable gulf separates me from my own kind."
457236 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: You are touched by the divine. A burden and a blessing both."
457237 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Only Multan remains."
457238 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Multan is ripe for the taking: demoralized to see their confederation subdued, and starved of resources."
457239 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Good. Bring me a fresh blade: I shall lead the assault myself."
457240 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Why does your pace slacken, men? Is your appetite for glory so diminished that the sight of this citadel sets you quaking like cornered rabbits? I shall be first into the fray. You follow."
457241 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Multan falls. A city of fools, to think that a river would shelter them, when even the sea did not keep me from Tyre's gates."
457242 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: The city is ours! I see brave Leonnatus on the battlements, and Peucestas, and… Where is the king? Perdiccas, where is Alexander?"
457243 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Oh Zeus, the men were right: we never should have come to this cursed land!"

// DIALOGUE

457600 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Oi, Nearchos! You're not leaving without me."
457601 "<GREEN>Nearchos: This will be a voyage of research and discovery, not a drunken cruise. Who knows — we might find something so wondrous that it mollifies Alexander. Anyway, I thought you hated being at sea?"
457602 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I hate marching through deserts even more. And I wouldn’t mind a break from Alexander, love him though I do…"
457603 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Enemy ships. You’re the sailor, Nearchos — what’s the proper naval salute?"
457604 "<GREEN>Nearchos: We'll need to make regular stops for supplies — especially with your bulk on board. Perhaps you could lead the foraging party."
457605 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Ah, so that’s why you allowed me onto this cursed boat. Not for the company — just to sniff out food like a truffle pig."
457606 "<GREEN>Nearchos: We need clean water, and fresh meat if you can find it."
457607 "<GREEN>Nearchos: We have food and water, and the winds of Boreas blow kindly. Cast off — we’ve a long journey ahead."
457608 "<GREEN>Nearchos: To think, Perdiccas — we're the first Greeks ever to sail these waters. Who knows what we might witness — gargantuan sea beasts, melodious sirens, fish-tailed tritons?"
457609 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: How about a dozen boats full of angry locals? Marines on deck!"
457610 "<GREEN>Nearchos: We can't beach the flagship with those miscreants waiting for us. Land the troops and clear them out."
457611 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Look what we found: a Haoma plant! Cyrus the Great himself would drink its restorative juices. We should seek out more treasures."
457612 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Hey, that's one of our flags. Must be Macedonians nearby — let's have a look."
457613 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Aeropos! Still haven't paid off your debts, I take it?"
457614 "<BLUE>Aeropos: No, not even close — hence I'm here, in the middle of the desert, fighting goodness knows who. Leonnatus was meant to be in charge, but… Well, he's got a spot of dysentery. Maybe you could lead the attack?"
457615 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: The gates are down! Into the city!"
457616 "<GREEN>Nearchos: What a find: a cloak of the richest vermilion, a brilliant scarlet. Like a shimmering fall of rubies…"
457617 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: It is certainly… Red."
457618 "<BLUE>Aeropos: Oh, you two are true heroes; Castor and Pollux! How can I thank you — maybe some of these fragrant razor clams, of which Leonnatus is very fond?"
457619 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Maybe not. We've encountered more fighting than I anticipated; I may swap some of my sailors for your soldiers, if you wouldn't mind."
457620 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Ah, now I've heard of this: the Ladies' Pool, they call it, because ladies bring unfaithful husbands down there and drown them."
457621 "<GREEN>Nearchos: The harbor is the Ladies' Pool, Perdiccas, so called because the first ruler of this land was a woman."
457622 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Hundred-tasseled girdle of Artemis, it's a bear!"
457623 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Wild date-palms. You can cut the hearts out of them — somewhat edible, if things get really rough."
457624 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Completely abandoned, this village. I say we break it up for timber."
457625 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Those villagers are waving to us! Zeus Xenios, finally a warm welcome."
457626 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: They look shifty. Who knows what cudgels and hooked blades and flesh-rending spearheads they've got stored in those huts. We should attack them before they jump us."
457627 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Get into them! Quick, before they can grab their shivs and daggers!"
457628 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Turns out they didn't want to kill us. Even gave us a parting gift. Extraordinary."
457629 "<GREEN>Nearchos: These villagers claim that they are menaced by lions of extraordinary size. Their den is to the north."
457630 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I've killed lions. When am I going to see a manticore?"
457631 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Behold, gentle villagers: the pelts of the lions that ravaged you. Now, we demand no lavish reward, but we are collectors of curiosities… Ah, yes: a diadem made of coral, its color richer than any in the Aegean."
457632 "<GREY>Alcoholic Codger: Booze… I want booze! Thank you, sirs. Take me with you: I speak many of the local languages, with increasing eloquence as I imbibe."
457633 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Exotic gardens, covered in myrtle. Dionysus must have set foot here. We shall bring this to Alexander: perhaps this might lift that malaise which has settled over him."
457634 "<GREEN>Alcoholic Codger: Stop fighting, tribesmen! Desist! Why assail these men, when you could drink with them?"
457635 "<GREEN>Nearchos: It is said that the island just off this coast is cursed. Nosala is its name. Home to a particularly libidinous nereid, who turns her lovers into fish."
457636 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: There's nothing here. No curses, no nereids, nothing — just like we never saw any Amazons or centaurs or sphinxes. Put that in the logbook."
457637 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Ah, Perdiccas, that's the island of Nosala. Said to be cursed, infested with all manner of wicked beings, although… Well, that would seem to be nonsense."
457638 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: Nearchos, Perdiccas. What great fortune this is: the army and the king are just inland. Come north — to see you will raise the whole army's spirits."
457639 "<GREEN>Nearchos: My king, the voyage proceeds commendably. And we are preparing a trove of treasures that will delight you, I'm certain. How goes the desert journey?"
457640 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The going is hard. Down to the donkeys we are suffering. But we shall persist. The next time we meet, it will be at Susa. Now go."
457641 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: By Zeus, they looked haggard. What labors did they go through in that desert?"
457642 "<GREEN>Nearchos: I would rather not know. Now that I've made a promise of the treasure collection, we had better fulfil it. There are ancient tombs nearby: perhaps there's something there."
457643 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: These fellows want to join the voyage. So would I, if I lived here."
457644 "<GREEN>Nearchos: The tomb of Erythres. You know, Perdiccas, the Erythraean Sea is named for him."
457645 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: The signet ring of Erythres. What a well-stocked tomb."
457646 "<GREEN>Nearchos: How pious these people are: they leave sheep and goats on this island, for Hermes and Aphrodite I should think. Scribe! Make a note of that."
457647 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Ho there, fishermen! Your village looks a sorry state — pirates, I take it? I tell you what: my friend Perdiccas here is a mighty warrior. The Minotaur of Macedon, they call him. He'll take care of the pirates, and then you give us some of those pearls."
457648 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Look at these pearls: as big as duck eggs! Oh, I wish they were duck eggs."
457649 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Are you the proprietor of this fine bazaar? It's your lucky day: I require some supplies – banal things, necessities – but in exchange, I have something that will delight a man of your evident taste. Have you heard of tweezers?"
457650 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: What is that stench? Like a cyclops' chamber pot... Is that… That's a whale!"
457651 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Very observant, Perdiccas. Here, dab this lavender oil under your nose and let's get the ambergris loaded up. It may reek now, but a skilled perfume maker will make from it a rich attar."
457652 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Get the foragers away from that rotting whale. You could lock me down in the underworld, eternally hungry like Tantalus, and I wouldn't eat that."
457653 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I'm sick of fighting angry fisherman and desert bandits. Here's a proper city: let's build some rams and take it."
457654 "<GREEN>Nearchos: I suppose there could be something interesting within. We can scuttle some of the more rickety ships for timber, and I'd wager those naval rams would work just as well on land…"
457655 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I need more rams. Nearchos, pick your least favorite ships."
457656 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Double walls. No chance we take this."
457657 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: A little golden chariot. Are you sure this will please Alexander? Maybe he could hitch a mouse to it and ride it into battle."
457658 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Sail carefully through these straits, sailors. \"On one side lies Scylla, and on the other divine Charybdis, monstrously sucking down the salt water of the sea.\""
457659 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Please, Nearchos... I escape from Alexander's constant Iliad recitals only to hear you start on the Odyssey."
457660 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Our treasure haul is looking rather meager. Perhaps we could explore the royal ruins to the north-east."
457661 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Now this is a treasure! A rhyton, shaped like a tiger's head. Even the whiskers are perfectly rendered."
457662 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Ivy-wreathed Dionysus must indeed have travelled here: these gardens would not bloom without his blessing."
457663 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Leave this to me, Nearchos. Greetings, merchants! That frankincense smells divine. Here: in exchange I offer this Macedonian delicacy — ship's biscuits, they're called. Eat one and you'll swear you were supping ambrosia with the gods."
457664 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: How have you gotten all the way down here?"
457665 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Perdiccas, this must be one of the famed Gymnosophists!"
457666 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I think it's just an old man."
457667 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Look at that magnificent peak! Mount Ochus. Perdiccas, are you not impressed?"
457668 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I'd barely call that a hill. I was promised marvels: springs flowing with wine, gigantic river worms, Amazons! One Amazon, that's all I want."
457669 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Good to see that not everybody around here wants to fight us. Welcome aboard, friends."
457670 "<GREEN>Nearchos: You people know the coastline? Good, we have need of you."
457671 "<GREEN>Nearchos: If you can tie a knot or catch a fish, you're welcome on board."
457672 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Stick to the coast; we are not equipped for the deep sea."
457673 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Oi, you! Stay with the flagship! We wouldn't tolerate this sort of thing in the army…"
457674 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Get those boats back to the flagship."
457675 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Enemy boats — defend the flagship!"
457676 "<GREEN>Nearchos: The flagship is under attack!"
457677 "<GREEN>Nearchos: You are good for the king, you know. Your humor, your informality, your earthly concerns — you keep him grounded. I wonder, though, whether you owe him more of your honesty."
457678 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Like Cleitus gave him honesty?"
457679 "<GREEN>Nearchos: You have Alexander's ear, Perdiccas. Tell him to go home, to hang those Persian tapestries up by his palace hearth, not a goat-skin tent; to father children and teach them to ride; to mix his wine with water and stop these drunken rages."
457680 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: I would try, if I thought it would change his mind. But he is… Implacable. It is his gift, and his curse."
457681 "<GREEN>Nearchos: How will we describe the things we've seen and done, once we return home? It will be like when some bore tells you of his dream: I walked across the water into Tyre, then I fought elephants in India…"
457682 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Still not seen a proper marvel out here. You know, back in the market at Pella, there's a man who'll charge you three obols to see a dead Triton. That's a real marvel."
457683 "<GREEN>Nearchos: That was a monkey sewn to a porpoise."
457684 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Well then, it was a marvel of embroidery."
457685 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: There's always been something in Alexander, right from when we were boys. Something… I don't have the words for it."
457686 "<GREEN>Nearchos: He is like one of those heroes of Sophocles: great, and terrible; a thing to be feared as much as admired."
457687 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: About time we headed to Susa, don't you think?"
457688 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Blockade ahead. I’m a soldier, not a sailor: get me onto dry land, and I'll deal with this."
457689 "<GREEN>Nearchos: There's a blockade ahead. Make ready to engage! I want archers and artillery spotters on deck, buckets ready for fires."
457690 "<GREEN>Nearchos: Not quite ready to take over from Alexander there, eh? Never mind: leave this to the navy."
457691 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Thundering Zeus, this is embarrassing. I tell you what: the army's not far. I'll sneak through and commandeer some soldiers."
457692 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: On me, soldiers!"
457693 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Plain sailing from here. On we go."
457694 "<GREEN>Nearchos: We return, our logbooks filled with wondrous sketches, and laden with treasures to delight Lord Alexander. The desert march went well, I hope?"
457695 "<PURPLE>Hephaistion: We survived. Now come: I shall take you to the king."
457696 "<GREEN>Nearchos: The ship is lost! Oimoi!"
457697 "<GREEN>Perdiccas: Reinforcements!"

// DIALOGUE

458000 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: What are your orders, Alexander?"
458001 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Die, Trojans, all the way to Ilium, you in flight and I wreaking slaughter behind. One by one, you shall die, till you have paid for the death of Patroclus and the ruin of the Greeks."
458002 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Let those be my orders."
458003 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Clear the bodies. This town will be our base, from which our work will proceed. Perdiccas, make a secondary camp. Take your battalion and any recruits who have not yet killed a man."
458004 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Sing, Goddess, the wrath of Achilles son of Peleus, that dreadful wrath which brought countless agonies upon the Achaeans, and sent many souls of heroes unto Hades, made them a feast for dogs and birds, and the will of Zeus was done."
458005 "<PURPLE>Alexander: And amidst all this, godlike Achilles armed for battle: he ground his teeth, eyes blazing as though aflame, his heart filled with unendurable grief."
458006 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: He is like Ajax, maddened by Athena… Or Heracles, gone blind with rage."
458007 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: The main towns are well-guarded. If we attack the outer villages, we can draw the defenders out."
458008 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: We should strike their resource camps. Like Diomedes at Troy, right Alexander?"
458009 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Get this grain packed up."
458010 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Persian oak grows strong here. The Cossaeans cut it well."
458011 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Good durable stone here. Let's keep this in store."
458012 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: The Cossaeans have not taken kindly to our looting — warband, incoming!"
458013 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: This town has no quarrel with us. They offer to trade... If that please you, Alexander."
458014 "<PURPLE>Alexander: As fire from the skies rages through deep gullies on a scorched mountain-side, so Achilles raged with his spear, like a god, killing as he went, and the black earth ran with blood."
458015 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Alexander, perhaps… we could return to Macedon, at least for a little while? You know I share your love of adventure… But we went further than Dionysus himself; is that not enough for you?"
458016 "<PURPLE>Alexander: No. And that is what separates me from the common stock of man."
458017 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: Consider the words of your beloved Homer, of the great king Odysseus: \"I crave, I long, all my days, to voyage home and see the dawn of my return.\" A homecoming — nothing can be sweeter."
458018 "<PURPLE>Alexander: None of the things you say can rouse my heart; only slaughter, and blood, and the groans of dying men. Those too are the words of Homer."
458019 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: This… This doesn't feel all that glorious, Alexander."
458020 "<PURPLE>Alexander: There was glory across the Hyphasis, but you refused it."
458021 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Are you sure this is what you want, Alexander?"
458022 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Now you doubt me too, Perdiccas? Like all the others. I had only one true friend: Hephaistion. And the gods took him from me, as they took all else."
458023 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: I'm getting overwhelmed here!"
458024 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: I'm under attack!"
458025 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I carve through you, Cossaeans, as the dolphin with its sleek jaw cuts through swarming shoals."
458026 "<PURPLE>Alexander: I shall smoke you from your thronging dens, Cossaeans."
458027 "<PURPLE>Alexander: That will do for raiding and looting. My friends, if I was sharp with you, forgive me. Now join me once more in toil: we shall raise no ordinary trophy on this battlefield, but a grand monument, a proclamation of our glory."
458028 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Your fortresses will be as blackened trees ravaged by a lightning storm, abject husks cowering from furor they can ill understand."
458029 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: That is the last of their settlements. Plenty more dwell in the neighboring valleys though, and in the caves and hillside grottos."
458030 "<PURPLE>Alexander: The valleys grow silent and still. I like it not. Bring forth the artisans, and fill the air with the sounds of toil, of creation, as my monument pierces these dull skies."
458031 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: The hills are abuzz, Alexander. I fear that any monument we raise among these crags will soon be assailed by the vengeful tribes."
458032 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Good. Achilles brought twelve Trojans to sacrifice at the pyre of Patroclus; for Hephaistion, let there be a flood of flesh."
458033 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Where are the goats and heifers? I want them up here, ready for sacrifice."
458034 "<PURPLE>Aeropos: They… They won't cooperate, my king. They bellow and thrash and twist and… Oh, this is an ill omen!"
458035 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Is that it, men of the mountains? You warriors of stone, of granite, sturdy as boulders… Well? Where are you?"
458036 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: What's that noise?"
458037 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Death."
458038 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Get every man we have up here!"
458039 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Embrace the coming tide and the test of arms. You veterans, who have fought through deserts and storms and pestilential marshes: to your ears this roaring foe should sound sweet as the lyre. And you new recruits: let that raw zeal course like molten iron in your veins."
458040 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: How many are they? What torrent of fury and bronze have we unleashed?"
458041 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Heracles, killer of giants, slayer of beasts, the ruin of villainous men and obstinate tyrants and scornful princes, fill us with your strength. Give me a battle fit for the Age of Heroes."
458042 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: All reserves forward! Arm the baggage handlers! Arm the muleteers! Thundering Zeus, arm the mules if you can!"
458043 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Let there be such carnage that the Keres themselves, those black-winged spirits of slaughter, will recoil and cry no, no more; no more, O lord of death."
458044 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: O Poseidon, all my life I have shown you reverence, made sacrifices upon a hundred shores, and you have sheltered me from waves and tempests. Preserve me once more, through this maelstrom of death."
458045 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Up, men, up: your comrades need you! We made it through Persia, through India, and by almighty Zeus, we shall make it through this too."
458046 "<PURPLE>Alexander: O Ares who delights in strife, what a show of carnage we stage. Come down, thunder through the fray in your swift chariot, your golden reins in one hand and flaming spear in the other."
458047 "<PURPLE>Nearchos: This cannot go on. This cannot go on, surely?"
458048 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Lochagoi, I can't hear you. Raise those voices, let your men hear your commands. Keep your files together!"
458049 "<PURPLE>Alexander: Death! Death! Oh you jealous gods, with what sour hearts do you inflict this fate upon me? Not blessed to die at the height of my glory, no, forced to battle on while all I love is stolen from me."
458050 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: They're getting desperate, getting weary, I can feel it. Hold on just a little more, men!"
458051 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: We are overrun! Retreat!"
458052 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: They flee! Oh, thank the gods. Come, Alexander — enough blood for one day. Home is calling: soft chairs, and family, and the warming fireplace."
458053 "<PURPLE>Alexander: What would I know of such things? All my life I have been at war. The battlefield is my home and the funeral pyre is my hearth. Violence is in me; the blazing blood of Heracles flows in these veins. No: I was not made to live gently."
458054 "<AQUA>Perdiccas: Some fortifications might do us good here."

458100 "I thought you might return. Now, where were we?"
458101 "I told you about the folly of Aristagoras, and the Great King's wrath…"
458102 "There was Themistocles, the defence of Greece, and the rise of Athens…"
458103 "Ah yes, Brasidas, and Lysander, and the great war that tore Greece apart."
458104 "My my… We really did cover quite a lot. Perhaps this time I'll stick to a single subject."
458105 "While the Greeks squabbled endlessly, to their north there lay the entirely unremarkable kingdom of Macedon."
458106 "A poor, rugged land, its borders beset by belligerent neighbours, and riven from within by feuding nobles."
458107 "For centuries, the kings of Macedon had done all they could to hold this fragile fiefdom together; glorious expansion was out of the question."
458108 "All this changed when Philip took the throne. His was an improbable kingship — the crown only passed to Philip after both of his older brothers had their turns on the throne cut short, one slain in battle and the other by an assassin's blade."
458109 "Determined not to meet the same fate, Philip immediately set to reforming the Macedonian military, arming his soldiers with pikes as long as four men laid head to toe. As for those troublesome nobles, the prospect of prize commands in Philip's new army provided a tempting incentive to good behaviour."
458110 "When Philip marched against the Scythians, his eyes set on yet more plunder to feed his growing realm, there was a new commander among his forces."
458111 "His teenage heir, Alexander: a boy of little experience, but tremendous ambitions. Philip was about to give his son a first, alluring taste of glory."
458112 "Alexander had certainly enjoyed an upbringing to match his grandiose ambitions. His tutor had been none other than the great philosopher Aristotle."
458113 "Aristotle taught him political theory, ethics, rhetoric, music, science, mathematics; but above all else, it was Homer's Iliad that entranced the young prince, the epic tale of Achilles' wrath."
458114 "When Alexander was still a boy, a horse trader presented a hot-blooded stallion to Philip's court."
458115 "It was a magnificent animal, its coat a shining black, with a white mark like a star upon its head."
458116 "None of the fine horsemen of Macedon could tame the beast — until, that is, the boy Alexander realized that the horse was afraid of its own shadow, and turned it towards the sun."
458117 "Alexander named the steed Bucephalus, and from that day forth the two were bonded like brothers."
458118 "Now, sat proudly astride his mount, Alexander accompanied his victorious father on the road home to Macedon, through the rocky territory of the Triballi."
458119 "It was to prove an eventful journey…"
458120 "On campaign with his father, Alexander had finally been given the chance to prove himself."
458121 "Things were not always so harmonious between father and son: Alexander's fiercely protective mother Olympias was not Philip's only wife. Nor was she a full-blooded Macedonian."
458122 "At the wedding feast for Philip's seventh wife, the girl's father proposed a toast."
458123 "May the Gods bless this union — and may it produce a legitimate Macedonian heir."
458124 "And what am I then, a bastard?"
458125 "Philip rose, drew his sword, and advanced — not on the man who had insulted his son, but against Alexander!"
458126 "Thoroughly drunk, the one-eyed conqueror tripped and fell flat on his face."
458127 "Here is the man who would lead you from Europe into Asia, and he can't even cross from one couch to the next!"
458128 "Yet for every quarrel, there was a reconciliation, and Alexander once again rode at his father's side as Philip bore down on Greece."
458129 "Philip had long wished to be master of the Greek world, and the wily campaigner had used all manner of diplomatic tricks to extend his influence to the south."
458130 "For years, an uneasy peace abided; but now, the Greeks prepared to make one last stand against their would-be conqueror."
458131 "Astride the road to Chaeronea, the Greek forces waited. On their right, the Athenians, their empire long diminished but their pride irrepressible. On their left, the Thebans, among their ranks the elite Sacred Band. "
458132 "From the north, their long pikes swaying above storms of dust, came the Macedonians. And on their flank, with full command of the king's finest cavalry, was Alexander."
458133 "At Chaeronea, amid the bodies skewered by pikes and mangled by swords, the city-states of Greece had their hopes of independence trampled into the mud."
458134 "Philip could finally turn his gaze eastwards, to his long-held ambition of plundering the rich Persian empire."
458135 "His hopes, however, were suddenly and brutally snuffed out."
458136 "An assassin's blade, jammed fiercely between Philip's ribs... The lion of Macedon bled out in the dust, a fate he had brought upon so many others."
458137 "And so it came to pass that Alexander, merely 20 summers of age, ascended to the throne of Macedon."
458138 "The nobles swore him fealty — some gladly, some reluctantly; some out of duty and some out of calculation."
458139 "Some were never given the choice, struck down on the new king's orders before they could cause trouble. Assassination, you see, was something of a staple of Macedonian politics."
458140 "Equally routine was the propensity of Macedon's northern neighbours to invade whenever a king died, like jackals converging on a fresh carcass when a lion has moved away."
458141 "The gleaming diadem of royalty set freshly upon his brow, Alexander marched north, where the first true test of his reign awaited."
458142 "Not all of the northern tribes were foolish enough to pick a fight with Alexander."
458143 "Like a keen-eyed jeweler, able to discern the potential in a rough and unshaped stone, King Langaros of the Agrianians chose to ingratiate himself with the Macedonian monarch."
458144 "Langaros informed Alexander that a tribe known as the Autariatae were planning to attack the Macedonians — and, even more helpfully, Langaros offered to deal with them himself. Alexander gladly accepted."
458145 "And so, from every hamlet and township in the Strymon Valley, Langaros called upon his forces: swift peltasts, clutching their throwing spears tight; cavalrymen atop hardy horses, well-used to cantering through rocky hills; stout infantrymen armed with that wicked long blade, the rhomphaia."
458146 "To ensure their commitment, Langaros spoke to them of duty. To bolster their fortitude, he invoked the gods. But to strengthen their zeal, Langaros promised them plunder."
458147 "While Alexander had been away in the north, making friends and slaughtering foes, rumors were spreading in Greece."
458148 "I have it on good authority that the tyrant Alexander is dead, and with him that feckless rabble that his barbarous father called an army. Now is the time to rise up, cast out the garrisons that he imposed on your fine cities, and retake your liberty!"
458149 "Alexander was not dead — and when he heard that the Thebans had trapped their Macedonian garrison on the city's acropolis, he was furious."
458150 "Ah, Thebes. The city where Oedipus had plucked out his own eyes; where Antigone hanged herself; where Heracles went mad and slew his own family."
458151 "For defying Alexander, the Thebans would suffer a new tragedy."
458152 "Alexander's destruction of Thebes was near-total. All that he allowed to remain were the temples, the ancient Cadmeia, and the house of the poet Pindar."
458153 "The rest of the rebellious Greeks immediately surrendered, and Alexander could once again turn his gaze towards Persia."
458154 "As was only natural before such a grand expedition, Alexander went to Delphi, seeking the wisdom of the god Apollo."
458155 "When Alexander arrived, he was told that Apollo's priestess was absent from the temple, this being a day when prophecies were forbidden."
458156 "But Alexander, believing that his will surpassed any sacred rules, marched to the priestess's quarters and began to drag her towards the temple, determined that she would tell him his fate."
458157 "\"My son!\" exclaimed the terrified priestess. \"You are unconquerable!\""
458158 "Satisfied with his boorishly-acquired prophecy, Alexander crossed the Hellespont."
458159 "Parmenion was waiting with the advance guard, but Alexander had more pressing matters."
458160 "He proceeded to Troy, where he anointed the gravestone of Achilles with oil. He and his friends ran races around the tomb, as though they were the heroes of Homer's Iliad."
458161 "The Persians had time for no such frivolities. They assembled their forces at the River Granicus, trusting in its steep banks and fast-flowing waters to deter Alexander's onslaught."
458162 "Alexander gazed at the army arrayed against him: a host more numerous than any he had yet faced, the steeds of the Persian nobles strutting along the serried ranks, their riders eagerly watching for a glimpse of the invader they wished to slay."
458163 "Upon a single charge across the Granicus, Alexander would stake the fate of his entire expedition."
458164 "Like the kings of Homer's Iliad, vying for glory in the foremost ranks, Macedonian monarchs led from the front — and few with such zeal as Alexander."
458165 "At the Granicus, he plunged into the fray, as a famished wolf darts among a grazing flock, tearing at sheep and shepherd alike. "
458166 "But Alexander ventured too far, and a Persian horseman brought his sword swinging towards the king's neck… But Cleitus, lurching forward, sliced the Persian's arm from his shoulder."
458167 "His first victory over the Mede in hand, and feeling just as invincible as the Pythian priestess had proclaimed him, Alexander marched on. "
458168 "His target was the coastal city of Halicarnassus, its grand harbor ringed by walls flecked with sea foam, where the great warrior queen Artemisia had once ruled."
458169 "You see, Alexander had a rather unconventional plan to deal with the Persian navy: rather than build a fleet and fight them at sea, he'd simply use his army to capture the Persian naval bases, one by one."
458170 "The rightful queen of Halicarnassus was Ada II, a wise and learned woman, and a gracious benefactor of the temple at Delphi. But, deposed by her brother, Ada now languished in exile — until the arrival of Alexander presented her with an opportunity."
458171 "The exiled queen welcomed Alexander, putting her wealth, her followers, and her considerable knowledge at his disposal. So splendidly did they get along, Ada even adopted Alexander as her own son."
458172 "The siege of Halicarnassus, then, would be a family affair."
458173 "Breaching Halicarnassus was a tremendous feat — as had been the victory at the Granicus, not to mention the slew of cities throughout Asia Minor that had surrendered without a fight."
458174 "Yet the victory Alexander truly craved remained elusive. He set off once more, seeking a confrontation with the Persian king, Darius III — named after the very monarch who had launched the first Persian invasion of Greece."
458175 "Along the way, Alexander came upon the town of Gordion. Here, there was an ancient cart tied to a post by the most fiendishly intricate knot, a tangled mass of ancient cords, twisting, snaking, weaving, slipping over and under and around, a knot with no visible beginning or end."
458176 "Not a very interesting attraction, you might think. But it was said that whoever could undo the knot would rule the world. "
458177 "Alexander examined the knot, paused for thought… Then with a single stroke of his sword, simply sliced it in two."
458178 "From there Alexander proceeded south, until he reached Cilicia. He began to feel a frightful heat rising in his breast; then he broke into a wild sweat, frothing like a raging stallion."
458179 "He flung himself into the icy cold waters of the River Cydnus, but emerged wracked with cramps and fever."
458180 "All of the king's physicians feared to administer a remedy — what dreadful tortures would await them if they failed, or worsened the king's condition?"
458181 "Only one – Philip of Acarnania – was willing to produce a cure. But as Alexander was about to raise the potion to his lips, a messenger passed him a letter from Parmenion, claiming that the Persian king had paid the doctor to poison him."
458182 "Alexander looked the physician straight in the eye, and downed the cup in one go."
458183 "At first, the king fell back, his breath lost, swooning into near-unconsciousness — but then, as Philip attended to him, Alexander regained his senses, and felt the cure work its way through his body."
458184 "A period of rest was clearly in order. Alexander and his men, welcomed into the cities of lower Cilicia, at last paused their relentless march."
458185 "So confident was Darius that he would triumph at Issus, he had brought his mother, wife, and daughters to the battle. So hastily did he flee, they were left behind for Alexander to capture. "
458186 "Like the women of Troy, powerless before their captors, Darius's family wept and lamented, imagining that their lot would now be misery and servitude; but Alexander treated them with perfect respect, and allowed them every comfort to which they were accustomed."
458187 "Alexander proceeded along the coast, until he came to Tyre, that great city of the Phoenicians, set upon an offshore island as though the whole marvellous edifice floated on the sea."
458188 "Alexander demanded entry to Tyre, wishing to sacrifice at the Temple of Melqart."
458189 "The Tyrians refused — and when Alexander sent messengers a second time, they were hurled into the sea from the city walls."
458190 "An outrageous thing to do — but the Tyrians, their grand fortifications protected by the waves that lapped against them, held the entirely reasonable expectation that Alexander would give up and move on."
458191 "Alexander rarely did what you and I might consider reasonable. And so work began on a vast causeway, a bridge of earth and rubble between Tyre and the mainland; the world reshaped at Alexander's command."
458192 "The Tyrians paid an awful price for defying Alexander. Thousands were slaughtered in the city; thousands more crucified along the beach; the rest sold into slavery, condemned like the women of Troy to know ever after that once they had ruled a great city by the shore."
458193 "In Egypt, Alexander received a more favourable reception. The Egyptians had always chafed under Persian rule, and so when Alexander arrived, they hailed him as a liberator. "
458194 "They proclaimed him Pharaoh, the incarnation of Ra; and Alexander blessed his new subjects with a magnificent city, Alexandria, crowning the rich Nile valley."
458195 "Having seized the jewel of Darius's empire, Alexander turned once more to defeating his rival in battle."
458196 "Darius sent messenger after messenger, desperately suing for peace."
458197 "Thirty thousand talents of silver, all the territory west of the Euphrates, co-rulership of the Achaemenid empire…"
458198 "If I were you, I would accept."
458199 "So would I — if I were Parmenion."
458200 "His final offer rejected, Darius gathered an army once more."
458201 "They awaited Alexander at Gaugamela, arrayed in their thousands upon a grim and dusty plain. The Great King ordered the place cleared of any vegetation, so that his vicious scythed chariots would have no obstacle between them and their prey."
458202 "On the eve of battle, beneath the indifferent stars, the armies of Darius and Alexander slept fitfully, knowing that on the morrow they would decide the fate of empires."
458203 "Alexander was determined that Darius would not get away from him a second time."
458204 "Over jagged hills and shifting dunes, Alexander chased the Great King, urging his swift riders on through freezing desert nights and days cruelly elongated by the summer sun."
458205 "But when Alexander finally caught up with his foe, Darius lay dying. In the dirt, amidst upturned wagons and mules broken from exhaustion, the Great King of Persia bled out, murdered by his own men."
458206 "Alexander had Darius's body cleaned and dressed, and returned to his mother."
458207 "And so, a mere five years after he inherited the crown of Macedon, Alexander seized the diadem of Persia. A king of kings, to be sure."
458208 "The killers of Darius he hunted down; the cities that resisted his rule he stormed. But in truth, most of the Persian governing class willingly exchanged one king for another."
458209 "Power such as Alexander now possessed is rarely left untroubled. Alexander caught word of a plot to kill him, hatched within his own court."
458210 "The would-be assassins were rounded up and executed — among them Philotas, son of Parmenion. Philotas had known of the conspiracy, but said nothing: a crime, Alexander declared, as heinous as the plot itself."
458211 "But what of Parmenion? As soon as he learned that his son had been executed, he was sure to act, and he had thousands of loyal men beneath him. No… He too would have to die."
458212 "Armed and belted men in my tent. So he's finally decided to do away with me."
458213 "Will you resist, sir?"
458214 "No, I won't. But tell the boy-king this: the gods cannot abide excess."
458215 "Alexander founded many cities that bore his name. This one he named Alexandria Eschate, meaning \"the furthest\"."
458216 "Here, on the edge of the known world, beset by foes and vexed by the barren landscape, Alexander raised his improbable city: an attestation that every last parasang of the Persian empire was his to order."
458217 "Yet beyond the borders of the empire he had just conquered, there were lands vaster and richer than even the sprawling Persian realm."
458218 "India: a place little understood by the Greeks, who traded tales of a land where giant ants dug for gold in the rich hillsides; where rivers of honey flowed from rocks; where men lived a hundred, or even two hundred years, untroubled by pains."
458219 "They spoke of men with one giant foot, with which they sheltered themselves from the sun, men with the heads of dogs, and men with no heads at all, who had their faces in their chests. I shall let you decide the veracity of these stories for yourself."
458220 "In one respect, though, the land of the five rivers was much like anywhere else: it was endlessly contested by rival kings. "
458221 "On one side of the River Hydaspes lay the realm of Taxila, ruled by the young king Ambhi, who had recently gained the throne after his father was murdered. "
458222 "On the other side of the Hydaspes, another king ruled: Porus, the man who had recently murdered Ambhi's father."
458223 "This being as good a pretext as any for another round of fighting, the two kings gathered their armies, made extravagant promises to their mercenaries, and prepared to wage war."
458224 "Back at the court of Alexander, things grew fractious. Now that he was King of Persia, Alexander was beginning to adopt Persian customs — including the practice of prostration before the king."
458225 "To many of Alexander's Greek and Macedonian followers, this gesture seemed not only servile, but blasphemous — an honor reserved solely for the gods."
458226 "At a banquet, Cleitus – ever the straight-talker – confronted the king. Both men were deeply drunk."
458227 "What is this, Alexander? You dress in foreign finery. You consult with eunuchs and Magi. If a Macedonian wants an audience with you, he has to beg it from some pompous Persian courtier, and then prostrate himself like a slave! Have you forsaken your own kinsmen?"
458228 "Shut your wretched mouth, Cleitus. If it weren't for me, you'd be fending off Thracian goat thieves from some hillside hovel."
458229 "No. If it weren't for your father, you'd have no army, no victories, no glory. Without your father, you would be nothing. And if he could see you now, he would be ashamed."
458230 "Alexander wrenched a spear from a nearby guard, hurled it across the room, and struck Cleitus dead."
458231 "Alexander looked upon the lifeless face of the man he had once called friend; the man who had saved his life at the Granicus. And Alexander wept."
458232 "All through the night, all through the following day, his grief tortured him. A procession of friends and comrades, courtiers and flatterers, philosophers and wise men came to him, trying to soothe his guilty soul."
458233 "But what roused him from his melancholy was a force greater, deeper than any grief: his yearning. "
458234 "India awaited — a chance not just for conquest, but to follow in the footsteps of the god Dionysus, to witness marvels unseen by any Greek, to reach the Outer Sea that girdled the earth itself."
458235 "Unlike Darius, Porus did not flee; he fought on, even as his army routed and his elephants were dragged shrieking to the ground."
458236 "At last, worn out by wounds, Porus was captured and brought before his foe."
458237 "Tell me: how do you wish to be treated?"
458238 "Like a king."
458239 "Admiring Porus's strength and nobility, Alexander not only spared him: he made him the latest satrap of his ever-expanding empire."
458240 "Alexander gained one friend that day, but he lost another."
458241 "His wounds were too great, my lord."
458242 "No. He has overcome worse than this."
458243 "We all have our limits, sire."
458244 "As ever, there was only one thing that could assuage Alexander's troubled soul: action."
458245 "His new ally Porus was quick to suggest a suitable target for Alexander's next conquest: his own enemies, a warlike tribe known as the Cathaeans."
458246 "And so the Macedonians prepared to march again. It had been eight years since they set out from home. They had won innumerable battles, founded cities, plundered more wealth than any man would know what to do with."
458247 "Yet still they were driven on by their insatiable king. And so the men began to wonder: would they ever return home to enjoy their spoils, and sire children to hear their stories? Or would Alexander push them on until they collapsed?"
458248 "I have heard rumors, men, that your conviction is faltering; that some among you wish to turn back and leave our conquest incomplete. Do you not know what lies beyond this river? Lands lusher than you have ever seen; riches that Croesus would envy; glory – oh, what glory – to rival Heracles himself!"
458249 "Silence? Speak, someone. I am no tyrant."
458250 "We love you, Alexander. Truly, we do. But we want to go home."
458251 "East is the Ganges, which empties into the Great Sea that girdles the earth, and will bear us back to Macedon. East is the way, east we shall go."
458252 "But still the silence persisted. The men refused to go on. "
458253 "Like Achilles sulking at Troy, Alexander withdrew to his tent. For two days, he spoke to no-one, his heart filled with terrible rage."
458254 "Armies are fickle — perhaps the men would reconsider their refusal, whether from shame or fear or duty. Or perhaps the gods, who had shown Alexander such favour, would send a sign that none could ignore."
458255 "No such portent came, nor did the army's grief turn to compliance."
458256 "And so Alexander at last agreed to take them home — but, as you might expect, he wasn't simply going to take them back the way they came."
458257 "They would build ships, sail down the Hydaspes until it joined with the River Indus, and then on to the sea. Any who stood in their path they would conquer, filling the glittering river with bloated corpses."
458258 "Alexander! Alexander!"
458259 "The arrow is stuck in his lung. Fetch the physician!"
458260 "No, Perdiccas. Cut it out of me. Now, man!"
458261 "Alexander's body was by now as scarred and slashed as a butcher's block, and this new wound was the deepest yet. Perhaps, having escaped death once again, he ought to have considered a reduction in his adventuring."
458262 "On the contrary, it only reinforced his sense of invincibility."
458263 "When he reached the southern coast, Alexander announced that the bulk of his army would not be sailing home; rather, they would trek through the vast Gedrosian desert."
458264 "The fleet was put under the command of Nearchos, with orders to sail along the coast and rendezvous at Babylon."
458265 "And so the admiral made ready. The ships were loaded with barley cakes and wineskins, nets and fishing lines; chests of gold, should there be opportunities for trade, and racks of spears, should they need to fight."
458266 "In addition to the steersmen and sailors, the carpenters and soldiers, there were also geographers, botanists, and naturalists, eagerly crowding the decks for a sight of something new and marvellous. For this, you see, would be a voyage of discovery."
458267 "Alexander's march through the desert had taken a terrible toll. The sands had swallowed countless men, their strength sapped by disease, or thirst, or long-festering wounds."
458268 "Why? Why confront the desert? To claim the glory of overcoming it? Or to punish the army that had refused to indulge his ambitions? Only the gods know now."
458269 "And there were graver losses yet to come."
458270 "Not you, Hephaistion. Anyone but you."
458271 "I would have followed you to the ends of the earth, Alexander."
458272 "As Achilles grieved for Patroclus, so Alexander grieved for Hephaistion: an epic anguish, biting sorrow mingled with thundering rage."
458273 "Like a storm cloud, gathering up its fierce energy as it rolls across the darkening sky, Alexander convulsed with wrath that demanded release."
458274 "His black gaze fell upon the Cossaeans, who dwelt among the craggy mountains of the Zagros. In baneful silence, the great conqueror led his men into the hills — for the final time."
458275 "Like Heracles, driven mad by Hera's hand, Alexander slaughtered the Cossaeans without pity, soaking the hills crimson."
458276 "And then, sated, he was alone once more. Hephaistion, Cleitus, Bucephalus, Parmenion — they had all crossed the Styx."
458277 "And how many brave men besides? How many soldiers had left Macedon as keen-eyed youths, only to heave their last breaths on some distant, desolate plain?"
458278 "At last Alexander, who had seen so much death, confronted it himself."
458279 "Some spoke of disease; others of poison. Perhaps the many wounds finally wore him down, or the drink, or the grief. Even the greatest have their limits."
458280 "You must choose a successor, Alexander. To whom will the kingdom pass?"
458281 "To the strongest."
458282 "And with that, the mighty heart stilled. Bereft, filled with sorrow and regret, his dreams of world conquest thwarted, the blazing star burnt out."
458283 "But ah, how brightly it had shone. He was too much for this world: too spirited, too ambitious, too bold. Should he be faulted for that?"
458284 "As for the empire he forged… Well, as you might expect, bequeathing your realm 'to the strongest' is hardly conducive to a smooth transition of power."
458285 "Alexander's generals immediately set to fighting one another, pulling the empire apart like stray dogs tearing at a hunk of meat."
458286 "No empire would ever be so rapidly gained, or so suddenly shattered. Let me rest my tired voice now, and then I shall tell you of another empire: one that rose slowly, patiently, relentlessly — and endured."
