Alexander is an RTS based on the movie of the same same and the real-life Alexander the Great. The game follows the same general path as the movie and includes media straight from the film. Present in the game are Greek Persian Indian and Egyptian forces with a campaign for each. The hybrid 2D/3D engine (2D units 3D terrain - also used in Cossacks 2: Napoleonic Wars) allows for a very large number of troops on the field. This is used to good effect as battles can easily contain hundreds of units. Finally multiplayer and skirmish levels are available and the soundtrack (of the game and the movie) is by the composer Vangelis.
