The historical battles in the Alexander campaign are a ton of fun — you actually get to fight the famous ones and they feel properly epic. Heading east into all that unknown territory is just as good, because the map opens up and you never quite know what’s waiting out there. It plays more like a chessboard than the original campaign too, your first few moves really matter and you can actually plan a clean opening...

It's very solid despite being smaller than the base game and barbarian invasion. Even if you are not into modding, the vanilla campaign is great for 1 playthrough, and historical battles are 100% worth playing.

Overall: Worth a playthrough if you enjoyed the base game, feels historical and high pressured! The great: Cool (but small) Macedonian roster with highly effective (and satisfying) phalanx. High stakes as Alexander must never die (plus a timer). New map, The historical battles and sequence battles are welcome. Brian Blessed! The bad: Repetitive campaign as you need to conquer 29/30 settlements with the small unit...

7/10 Good game, solid campaign. The historical battles are where this shines as that is where you get the "Battles of Alexander". The grand campaign is fun and you feel like an absolute unit while plowing through Persia. It isn't very exciting though, and is fairly short. It is basically 1/3 the size of RTW.

Great campaign. It eluded me when I spent a zillion hours in Rome: TW. It is not completely removed because Total War: ROME REMASTERED adds this to your library. Also, the remastered version is in Total War: ROME REMASTERED too, but not as a standalone. (Also, it is a bit old and doesn't like ALT+TAB too much)

This campaign is brutal… and I absolutely loved every second of it. If you’ve played the base game or Barbarian Invasion, you might think you’re ready, you’re not. Alexander throws you straight into a high-pressure, time-limited conquest where every single turn matters. There’s no room for chilling, no slow empire-building, no safety net. You either keep pushing forward like a legend… or you fall behind and...

The second expansion (2006) that requires owning Rome: Total War Gold Edition which has been discontinued from Steam. However, picking up Total War: ROME REMASTERED (2021) comes with all expansions. Another cool relic! 7/10
