This is the first version of this small addon. This addon basically adds some BI.exe features to Rome Total War Alexander like hording and shield wall to some units.
This is the very first version of Alexander-on-BI, no new map, or units, (yet?), but this minor mod makes you able to launch Rome: Total War - Alexander on the Barbarian Invasion.exe, and enables some of the BI features like hording and shield wall to Rome Total War Alexander, until now, unfortunately, only Macedon is playable in the campaign map due to some fixes that should be done for mercenary units and therefore, they're not accessible. Even though this addon uses the BI.exe, it still preserves some of the special features Rome: Total War Alexander had, like special general models, or special portraits, using different mechanisms, like unused cultures and special units for that purpose.
