    Yeah, but the skills of the player include gamey tactics, not to mention the game isn't a 100% perfect copy of the real world.

    Taking advantages of weaknesses and backstabbing were of course used in history, just like it's a good idea to use in the game. However, so many things aren't (and hardly can be) represented in the game.

    You misunderstand. I am trying to say that in history impossible things have happened and under a good heir Alexanders empire could have held together.

    Ah, like that. Well, if the (majority of the) army would've accepted his heir as their rightful leader, he indeed would've had quite the chance to inherit his father's empire.

    I was reading a book about this very topic. I haven't finished it but it said that he had a child with an Uzbek woman.

    I take it that both the army didn't accept that child as the rightful heir, nor was the child old enough to rule even a small kingdom when Alexander died?

    I usually just end up fliping the teacher off and telling everyone to kill them slefs in the most violent way possible, then they leave me alone and I can think of my waifu.

    I get all A's in school. except for math I get a B on that almost kept me out of UCLA. History is my best subject. And I am sure if it was a queen they would have let her rule Alexanders empire as many of his diadochis had queens.

    I despise math which is odd that I do so well in any sort of chemistry/psychics class.

    However I got my new classes for the semester and in Psychology I yelled out FREUD IS GOD.
