Phalanx: Wars of Alexander

Alexander crossed into Asia outnumbered in every battle he fought. He won anyway — with a wall of pikes nothing could walk into, and a wedge of cavalry that hit the seam where the enemy line stopped being a line. Phalanx is that army, on your phone. THOUSANDS OF MEN, NOT SPRITES Every soldier is a body with real animation: the front five ranks lower their sarissas into a hedge of points, archers reach for the quiver and loose on a high arc, horses break into a gallop and go down in a tangle of legs. Up to ~3,800 of them on one field, at 60fps. YOU PLAN. THE FIELD DECIDES. Before the first blow, set every regiment's formation — Line, Deep, Wedge — its order, and the minute it moves. Then press FIGHT and watch it unfold. Keep a few Command points back so you can change your mind when the enemy changes his. TACTICS BEAT NUMBERS A hit in the flank does 1.6× damage. A charge into the rear does 2.3× and ignores armour. Cavalry that rides head-on into a Macedonian pike wall is impaled and stops dead. Battles are decided by broken morale, not by body count — and one regiment routing will drag its neighbours with it. A smaller army that manoeuvres will beat a bigger one that doesn't. THE BATTLES HE ACTUALLY FOUGHT Granicus, Gaugamela and more, laid out from the historical deployments — the river you have to choose a crossing for, the wide plain where you have to find the gap and reach Darius. Stuck? "Alexander's Plan" shows how he really did it, then offers you his orders to take or to ignore. ALEXANDER'S MARCH A campaign from Pella to the Indus over a map that is different every run. Casualties carry from battle to battle. Recruit in the cities you take, watch your supply, keep your veterans alive — and win the great battles, or the March ends there. THE ROYAL CAMP Every battle earns Glory, won or lost. Spend it on a camp that unlocks formations, orders, officers and better odds. Every bonus together is capped at +15%, deliberately: the camp gives you options, never raw power. Tactics still have to do the work. BUILT FROM NOTHING BUT CODE There are no art files in this game.
