If you download the demo you can get the sense of the game's gameplay, which is not much different than most RTS titles. Peasants build structures and mine resources, structures build and train troops and hero units (including Alexander) have some special abilities of their own. In playing the mission from the Indian campaign that is not available in the public demo, we got to play the battle from the Indian side as they attempted to keep Alexander's armies from crossing the river into their territory. In addition to typical infantry units like spearmen, bowman and swordmen, the Indian side also has access to chariots, horses and the big guns of the time, elephants.
