Description
Prepare to rewrite history, the battle begins here...

They were the greatest military commanders of their time, their legendary conquests known worldwide. Their tactics and battles are still revered and studied by scholars and military leaders alike -- almost two thousand years later. Now, you can take up their sword.

As Alexander the Great. Take command of the legendary armies of Macedon. Conquer the rebellious Greeks. Crush the defiant Persians. Capture the crowns of kings and pharaohs to earn the most exalted title of all: Alexander the Great. Or attempt to turn the inexorable tide of Alexander's conquest. Assume the role of Darius, Mennon, Clitus, and other celebrated military commanders of the age. Then engage the forces of Alexander in ten different battles to rewrite the history books.

As the fearless, ruthless Hannibal of Carthage, you are the commander of 25,000 troops who have sworn their allegiance to you in blood. With decisive victories, you will bring the Roman Empire to its knees, and conquer what is rightfully yours.

As mighty Julius Caesar. Control of Rome and its hard-won provinces balances on the point of a spear. As Julius Caesar, you can cross the Rubicon and lead your troops to Rome and the supreme power. Or, as Pompey the Great, Marius, Sulla, or any other of their subordinates, you might just defeat mighty Caesar and reshape history. Either way, the prize of the greatest nation on Earth is yours to conquer. Or to lose. Everything is up to you and your tactical skill in this remarkable anthology of classic turn-based wargames. They rarely make strategy games like these nowadays!
  • Includes: The Great Battles of Alexander, The Great Battles of Hannibal, and The Great Battles of Caesar.
  • Over 30 historical battles offering an extensive variety of weapons and tactics for more variety and excellent replay value.
  • Take control of one of the three legendary commanders, fight battles they once fought and see if you can match (or outmatch) their tactical skills.

These games are absolute jewels for any ancients fan, but...

the games, as a I said, are a miracle. Beautiful, great rules (MUCH better than Field of Glory II), realist even and I thank GOG a hundred times for bringing them back from oblivion. Unfortunately they don't work at all, I tried everything, even unofficial patches, to no avail, so I can't recommend them because you will just not be able to play them, unfortunately I don't know if GOG is doing anything to adress this issue because these are the only games in my extensive GOG catalogue (spend hundreds of dollars here in GOG, perhaps thousands) which don't work

Two games DO NOT WORK

Caesar and Hannibal do not work, and patches do not fix it. So PLEASE ignore the other reviews from people with their nostalgia goggles on who have not played the games since they came out.

Doesn't work on Win 10

OK, so the specs given for this series of games doesn't mention Windows 10, but neither do they warn that the games won't work on windows 10. Yep--I have windows 10 and the games won't work.

Please get this supported on Windows10

Please get this supported on Windows10! Unfortunately it crashes all the time using this OS. I took a risk buying this hoping it would work because I LOVE THIS GAME. This game was one of the main sparks to my love of history. Huge replayability, ability to switch round. Sure the graphics are very basic, but the concept that goes into it is fantastic.

The games DON'T WORK.

As the others who actually downloaded these games and tried to run them, I can say that these games DO NOT WORK at all, and you will learn that a hard way, after having to watch an ugly, lengthy unskippable intro. The only working thing from the bunch is the Single Battles from Alexander (Campaign doesn't). The gameplay is absolutely stellar, so a big shame.
