Rome: Total War - Alexander Advances Onto CD-Rom
“Releasing Alexander via digital download proved to be a
great experience for The Creative Assembly and SEGA as we learnt a phenomenal
amount about how digital distribution works” commented Mike Simpson, Studio
Director at Creative Assembly. “However
we also learnt that there are a huge number of Total War fans itching to play
Alexander but without the means to successfully download it. Therefore we’ve
listened and learned and so are extending the opportunity for all Total War
fans to get their hands on Alexander via a more traditional route.”
The new campaign in Rome: Total War – Alexander will give players the objective of matching the
achievements of one of the greatest generals in Western civilization. It adds four new factions to the original
game, including the Macedonians and Persians. More than 60 new units are also now available,
including Persian scythed chariots, elite immortals, and all of Alexander’s
most famous units, including the Hypaspists, Phalangists, and Companion
cavalry.
