Commanding an army of that size from ground level and being aware of what is going on across the battlefield and reacting to it must have required tremendous skill and an inbuilt talent for such things, a real sixth sense. Some of these ancient leaders and the generals who served them really were a breed apart. I have the extended directors cut of this movie, well worth the price I paid.

Very often commander going to battle in first lines was losing control over the army. Things were just happening. Alexander had officers who knew what to do. The plan of the battle was discussed before the fight started and then everyone was commanding his part of troops. During the battle Alexander was commanding personally only his hetairoi (cavalry) and some infantry he left at his side. If needed commanders were sending messangers to him or he was sending to them. In this battle such messanger from left flank reached Alexander when Darius was running away and told him that left Macedonian flank is close to collapsing so Alexander charged from the Persian center and hit from behind Persian forces which were attacking Macedonian left flank. Without messanger he would have no idea what is going on there. Everything was covered in dust. There were also in ancient and mediaval wars cases that main commander charged with his elite cavalry on one flank, broke enemy ranks, chased running forces for quite some time only to see after return that rest of his army was completely defeated why he was chasing the broken wing :).

Yes but you also have to remember that Alexander's army was closest to what you could consider ultimate at the time. They would not break they, they had very specific tactic system, morals and discipline. If you would try to pull this with lets say Egyptian army at the time you would lose.

As Dan Carlin observed, the fear factor in ancient battles was on a completely different level than in modern battles. In modern warfare, there's a constant low level of risk, but the odds of you getting killed/wounded on any particular day aren't very high. Whereas in ancient warfare, you were pretty safe on most days, but the odds of getting killed/wounded on the day of a major battle were really high. Which made the battle and the hours leading up to it a truly gut-wrenching time.

He was one of Alexander's generals and the destructive factor which destroyed the empire after the great king's death. He was a monster with almost 70 battles. He crowned himself king of Asia, fought always in the front rank of the infantry and died with over 80 years at the battle of Ipsos, which was the greatest battle of antiquity. Also known as the elefant battle, as Seleukos brought 400 elefants, while Antigonos had 75 elefants.

The chariots in this scene are going head on to a phalanx which is as unlikely and absurd as the phalanx changing its formation as a response . Any head on attack to phalanx would need a similar king spear response. Missle artillery would be ineffective due to the large shield and heavy grieves of the Macedonians. The chariots would have attacked the flank of the phalanx . However the flank would have been guarded by short spear and sword troops.with a presence of archers and cavalry.

Alexander trained the Phalanx specifically to deal with them by opening gaps up in the line then closing them with support troops to take out the crews. Darius specifically flatened & cleared the field of debri specifically for his Chariots.

Everything was good until the formed lines suddenly became random melee's out front. The reason the Alexander's Army won is they held their discipline reformed lines after the chariot charges and held tight, even while the left faltered, they held long enough for reinforcements.

Historically it's claptrap. Chariots were not shock troops but a mobile platform for archers or javelin throwers because horses are big targets, easily brought down at close quarters, then the charioteers were easy victims. Notice too that the phalagites had shields but didn't use them. Soldiers don't carry stuff like that around if it serves no purpose. A phalanx of pikemen would have halted to defend themselves, and also because random casualties dropping a 14 foot or longer pike in a formed body of troops would cause chaos and wreck their cohesion. And why do movies always portray battles as a lot of individual "every man for himself " combats ? The whole point of having formed bodies of troops is that they fight as a unit !

I think this was unfairly panned by some critics. The idea of giving the Macedonians Irish accents to separate them from others was a good one but it still jars with me a bit. Still, better than American

I love the way the movie depicts the chaos and the scale of battle. However in my opinion the actual combat was a bit over the top. People’s arms and legs don’t just fly off from a swing of a sword or axe. The movie makes it look like humans are made of paper. I’ve never seen real life sword fighting but I imagine the human body is more resilient and requires a lot more effort to hack off or dismember a part of a body

If the sword edge is sharp enough - and they were - despite being bronze, an arm or head can easily be severed cleanly in one blow. Easily. While processing a large deer I once cut the head off with a heavy knife (12" blade) that was much smaller and lighter than the kopis used by the Greeks. A single blow. The kopis was specifically designed to slice. Similar to the nepalise khukri. Ancient battles were hack fests - especially very large ones with a lot at stake.

Some parts of the human body are sturdier than others. Chest and back aren't as easy to cut because of the rib cage's protection. And the spine grows thicker as it goes down, especially with well-built and hardened men. But single-jointed members like arms, legs and neck, are not that hard to cut through. Especially not with weapons made for that exact purpose.

@@duncand1686 No. It was somewhat uncommon for an execution by beheading to be botched by the need for two strokes of the ax. That's why we read about them. Axes are harder to aim than a sword. A sword will take off a head like a scythe thru grass. One of Henry the 8th's wives requested a French swordsman be brought in for her execution because the axe was not always true - and - was not always sharp. The reports of multiple strokes with the axe were likely due to the blade not cutting all the way thru, but rather, smashing the vessels and bones. The person was dead, but the job botched. Executioners were replaced if they were drunk and not attentive to their task and equipment. A curved sword like heavy saber will nearly cut a man in half. Tests on 200lbs pigs confirm. The Japanese used condemned prisoners for their tests.

To my mind people ignore that Alexander had the advantage of taking over an enormous empire the Persians had created, which already stretched from Greece to India and from the South of Egypt to Inner Asia. It's not as if Alexander conquered each part of it piece by piece. People don’t see what a stupendous accomplish the Persians had made.
