Don't want to be that guy but its Argead not Argaed not a big deal that its wrong but you should know that to avoid awkward scenarios in future.

Long form videos? I'm all her for it

Ah ok

Why Babylon? Should have been somewhere north of Greece

Greatest Father & Son double act

No one asked, yes he was a great king but this is a video about a game not a debate or documentary

Not to mention the friends of his father: the great generals and commanders

@@WorldHistory515 People when you talk about history in a historical game:

@@lurkenvoncurken518 yes?

Mosquitoes should have taken control of Macedonia smh

@@SnapStrategy Maybe make a part 2 btw a suggestion,maybe if you do those short of claimants of ''reincarnations'' of historical figures you could rename the cities before and later for make it way cooler!

It could've been a mosquito. Yet I have always felt it was more likely an assisination of sorts.

@@Sand-Walker13 I’m certain it was, there was *allot* of envious people and enemies of Alexander

​@@etholus1000 Agreed man, Alexander was fascinated by Persian culture, surrounded himself with Persian advisors and his next conquest was Arabia. So this all wouldn't make his Greek counterparts very unhappy.

Seems like he missed Greece. Why start in Babylon

@@MastemaJack Yeah why not start in Macedonia lol? You know the place he originated from.

@@Maltesfilm babylonia is the place he died lol

@@tkmangt5826 But he didn’t start the campaign at the end of his life and just continue it. He started it from before he even made it to Babylonia.

@@Maltesfilm Ah Yes My Favorite Speedrun :FASTEST EMPIRE BUT THIS TIME I HAVE 1 MONTH!

Exactly lmao

I stg my dude damn I wanna see this place conquered

I swear. Like the Irish get OP alliances sometimes. I once had a run where I was in Wales and Ireland had Connacht get an alliance to West Francia and Sweden and they just decided to start bossing everyone if I said "I have Wales and England no one is going to beat me" then I would have missed out on epic battles against Connacht

Laith.

This drives me crazy, it’s so unsatisfying

Thankyou! I did a poll last night and seems the first thing we are going to be doing is starting as the last Karling! so im just going to work on a big mod list for it now

Would like an update on your mod list, please.

Is there content on Snap Snap soon?

@@SnapStrategyAny progress with Snap Snap? I would love to see some content! :D

Thats very kind of you! thankyou! :)

and became king of MACEDONIA at 19

Yeah but his dad was incredibly powerful and a great warmonger too, so it's no more unusual than Henry V leading armies as a young lad.

Yes. He commanded his first army at 16. Phillip was down south fighting a Greek coalition. After he defeated the enemy army and sacked the city he renamed it Alexandropolis.

The capital of the empire was babylon. Plus, Alexander wanted to merge Greek and Persian cultures.

Alexander died in babylon, and he is reborn there in this video

@@mapoleo btw Baghdad it’s not even near babylon in fact it is the left river more south

They are 53 miles away from each other what are you talking about?@@martinrosenberger

@@Winterfellen that is like two counties south

Americans and Brits say it differently. There is no "correct" way.

@@bradleymanson6757 of course there is. Vizantine, the original greek spelling

@@alexwhite3830 That is the spelling. How can we know how to pronounce a word from a dead language? We can only assume.

​@@bradleymanson6757 Oh come on, the historical names are the same in modern Greek. Sometimes maybe differ, but such things as Babylon, Byzantium etc starts with V in Greek

@@bradleymanson6757 dead language? You know that your language is 80% greek?

Yeah, being in all kinds of foreign places bring all sorts of strange diseases. It's strange that almost all of the conquerors like Alexander almost always die young and rule short.

I can’t really be sure of anything since it’s technically possible, but it is highly unlikely for that to happen. Once they are married off and are in their husbands court they are usually demanded to convert to their husbands religion and the wife usually can’t do much about it

I mean I've got literally the exact same specs as you but mine runs fine

Probably just your Internet

​@@samdavison286 i dont think internet has any effect on how fast the game runs, and when you say fine do you mean like playable or really fast.

Like it runs at a good frame rate

@@samdavison286 nah my framerate is not an issue its the speed of the game, like the time yknow.

Im not sure! yeah i just made a custom character haha

I think it only goes up to 0 AD and not before

@@SnapStrategy why did you start him in Babylon tho? Wasn’t he Macedonian?

It’s a big, I’ve had it happen a few times

Its beacause he only ruled for five years in his now main title

@@dbriner-jo5tv oh there was a title change in between? I didn't noticed, my bad

Alexander did lose a battle! He lost to Tuberculosis.

Didn't he have like 2 wives

@@dred0 yes maybe. But that's for the sole purpose of producing offspring. If you watch more and more documentaries and do some research he was presumed gay with his right hand man. I'm not sure when or where but I remember at some point they crossed the ocean and Alexander built a monument that was supposed to be for your wife but he built it in the name of his right hand man. There is no proof for anything but the evidence presuming he is gay is vast. I'm not good at explaining so look into it. You'll find what you seek.

No he was bi

I mean in the end he was more a Babylon dude than macedonian. He even started asking his childhood friends and great generals to do proskynesis before talking to him

@@alexwhite3830 not really. He adapted many things but he was never Persian

@@ofresh24 If you act as Persian, dress like Persian and talk like Persian probably you're Persian?

@@alexwhite3830 saying that acting like a persian makes you persian is like saying keanu reeves is john wick
