You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Rome: Total War: Alexander''''' is the second [[expansion pack]] for ''[[Rome: Total War]]''.  It is set in an earlier time period, putting the player in the role of [[Alexander the Great]]. It begins with Alexander's ascension to the Macedonian throne in 336 BC and lasts for 100 turns. The game is much the same as the original ''Rome: Total War'', but with fewer factions, different units, and a different map. The expansion was released in 2006 for [[Microsoft Windows]]. The [[macOS]] version of ''Rome: Total War: Alexander'' was released on 27 February 2014 by [[Feral Interactive]]. A standalone version of the expansion, also by Feral, was released for the [[iPad]] on 27 July 2017.<ref>((cite web|title=ROME: Total War – Alexander arriving on iPad 27th July |url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/pressreleases/302262/ROME_Total_War_ndash_Alexander_arriving_on_iPad_27thJuly.php |website=Gamasutra|publisher=UBM LLC|access-date=20 September 2017))</ref>  An iPhone and Android version of the game was released on 24 October 2019.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://toucharcade.com/2019/10/24/rome-total-war-alexander-available-now-iphone-android-price/|title='Rome: Total War - Alexander' from Feral Interactive for iPad Just Got Updated to Go Universal Adding iPhone Support and Multiple Improvements to Coincide with the Android Release|date=24 October 2019|website=TouchArcade|language=en-US|access-date=29 October 2019))</ref>

==Gameplay==
The gameplay of ''Alexander'' is mostly similar to the gameplay of the original ''Rome: Total War'', with the player commanding individual armies on the battlefield or leading their entire nation on a campaign map.

===Campaign===
The main campaign of ''Alexander'' centers around Alexander the Great's conquest of the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian Empire]]. While multiple factions were playable in the original game's campaign, [[Macedon]] is in the only playable faction in the campaign of ''Alexander''. As Macedon, the player must conquer 30 provinces,<ref name="gspot">((cite web |last=Todd |first=Brett |date=20 June 2006 |url=http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/rome-total-war-alexander-review/1900-6152960/ |title=Rome: Total War Alexander Review |website=GameSpot |access-date=23 July 2016))</ref> including a number of specific cities like [[Tyre, Lebanon|Tyre]], [[Halicarnassus]], and [[Babylon]], from Persia and various "barbarians," like the [[Thracians]], the [[Illyrians]], the [[Scythians]], and the [[Dahae]]. The player only has 100 turns to complete their objectives. Alexander himself must also survive until the player accomplishes their goals; if he dies, the player is defeated. The campaign is narrated by [[Brian Blessed]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Goodfellow |first1=Troy |title=Rome: Total War Alexander |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/rome-total-war-alexander-2/2/ |date=10 June 2006|website=GamesRadar |access-date=20 February 2019))</ref>

===Historical battles===
In addition to the regular campaign, there are also six historical battles in the expansion,<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.totalwar.com/microsites/en/alexander/hisbat.htm |title=Rome: Total War: Alexander |publisher=Total War |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826194211/http://www.totalwar.com/microsites/en/alexander/hisbat.htm |archive-date=26 August 2009 |url-status=dead))</ref> starting with the [[Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC)|Battle of Chaeronea]], where Alexander accompanies his father, [[Philip II of Macedon|Philip II]], against the combined forces of [[Athens]] and [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]]. Next is the [[Battle of the Granicus]] against [[Memnon of Rhodes]]. After the Battle of the Granicus comes the [[Siege of Halicarnassus]], in which Memnon is killed. The fourth and fifth battles are the [[Battle of Issus]] and the [[Battle of Gaugamela]], respectively. Both are fought against [[Darius III|King Darius III]] of Persia. It ends with the [[Battle of the Hydaspes]] against [[Porus the Elder|Porus]], an Indian king of the [[Pauravas]] dynasty. As in the campaign, if Alexander dies during one of the historical battles, the player is defeated. If Alexander retreats, the player is also defeated. While the first battle is available by default, the subsequent battles can only be unlocked by beating the previous battle at "medium" difficulty or above. The battles can be replayed at any time after being unlocked.((citation needed|date=September 2019))

The expansion pack received "generally favorable reviews" according to the [[Review aggregator|review aggregation]] website [[Metacritic]].<ref name="mc" /> Many reviewers concluded that while the expansion offered some new content for dedicated fans of the ''Total War'' series, the short length and limited scope of the expansion harmed what was otherwise a good experience.<ref name=IGN>((cite web |last=Butts |first=Steve |date=20 June 2006 |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2006/06/20/rome-total-war-alexander |title=Rome: Total War - Alexander |publisher=[[IGN]] |access-date=23 July 2016))</ref><ref name=PCGUK>((cite journal |title=Rome: Total War: Alexander |journal=[[PC Gamer|PC Gamer UK]] |date=August 2006 |page=86))</ref>
