Alexander the Great is one of the strongest Immortals in the Infinity Kingdom. This Immortal has just become the praise of the people because of his sustain damage. So let's take a closer look at the background of this historical story of Alexander the Great. Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great, ruled the ancient Greek Kingdom of Macedon from 20/21 July 356 BC until 10/11 June 323 BC. He succeeded his father, Philip II of Macedon, who had been slain during Cleopatra of Macedon's wedding in October 336 B.C.E., at the age of 20.

Military History

Alexander the Great's military tactics and strategies are still studied in military academies today.

From his first victories at the age of 18, Alexander the Great gained a reputation for being able to lead his armies into battle with impressive speed, allowing smaller armies to reach and destroy enemy lines before they were ready.

After securing his kingdom in Greece, in 334 BC, this ancient King of the Greatest Empire crossed into Asia (now Turkey) where he won a series of battles with the Persians under Darius III.

The imperial leader's point of battle power was the 15,000-strong Macedonian line, whose units held back the Persians with 20-foot-long spears, called sarissa.

Alexander's army crossed the Hellespont in 334 BC with an estimated 48,100 soldiers, 6,100 cavalry, and a fleet of 120 ships with a crew of 38,000. They were drawn from Macedon and various Greek city-states, mercenaries, and soldiers who had been raised through feudal systems in Thrace, Paionia, and Illyria.

Alexander the Great declared that he accepted Asia as a gift from the gods and threw a spear into Asian soil to demonstrate his intention to subdue the entire Persian Empire. Additionally, it demonstrated Alexander's desire to engage in combat in contrast to his father's penchant for diplomacy

Alexander accepted the Persian provincial capital and treasury of Sardis' surrender after first defeating Persian forces at the Battle of the Granicus. He then moved along the Ionian coast, granting the cities independence and justice. A precise siege effort was necessary to take Miletus, which was controlled by Achaemenid soldiers, with Persian naval forces close. The Persian satrap of Caria, Orontobates, and mercenary commander Memnon of Rhodes were eventually forced to flee by sea after Alexander's first successful large-scale siege at Halicarnassus, in Caria.

Alexander moved on from Halicarnassus into the Pamphylian plain and hilly Lycia, establishing control over all coastal cities to deny the Persians naval facilities.

Alexander traveled inland after Pamphylia because there were no significant ports along the coast. Alexander did not invade the Pisidian city of Termessos, but he did hurt it. Alexander "undid" the hitherto intractable Gordian Knot at the ancient Phrygian city of Gordium, a feat supposedly reserved for the coming "King of Asia." Alexander declared that it didn't matter how the knot was undone and slashed it apart with his sword, according to the legend.

Last Words

Alexander the Great historical story makes him as one of Earth Immortal with Cavalry as his troops because during his expedition most of the times he ride the horse and his name literally translates to "protector of men," but history knows him as Alexander the Great. Alexander was a Macedonian king of the Argead dynasty who was raised by Aristotle and was schooled in Pella. He received the Macedonian throne from his father Phillip II when he was twenty years old. He launched an unprecedented in history huge military campaign during the majority of his reign in an effort to reach "the ends of the world and the Great Outer Sea."
