Rise of Empires Hero - Alexander The Great

The name of Alexander III, also known as King of Macedon, means "Guardian of Mankind"; he was later known as Alexander the Great. In 336 B.C., Philip II of Macedon was assassinated on his daughter's wedding day; that's when his 20-year-old son Alexander took over the throne, which marked the beginning of the great emperor's epic reign. After Alexander III ascended to the throne, he purged the opposition forces among the Greek city-states and consolidated his reign. Meanwhile, he maintained Macedon's ⚫ dominant role among the Greek states. He also launched an unprecedented large-scale military campaign to expand his territory, making Macedon one of the empires with the largest territory at one point. The life of Alexander III was like a flash of lightning that lit up the sky in history. Nowadays, people still honor Alexander III for his seemingly invisible yet substantial cultural influences and achievements. Though he lived for a short period of 30 years or so, his deeds earned him the title of "a great man."
