So there I was, after three-four years of playing RTW vanilla, BI and m2tw that I decided to buy the Alexander expansion. I had heard about its historical battles and was looking forward to playing them.
Indeed, the first two battles, Chaeronia and Granicus were not very difficult, but then I got stuck in Halicarnassus. You see, I was surprised by the range and accuracy of the persian archers who almost decimated three of my Hypaspists and burned my siege tower. Even then, I was able to scale the walls with my entire but depleted army while my companions crushed the cavalry sallying from the city und killed the general.
However, my units were routed by the four units of Immortals standing next to the gate's towers. I would like a piece of advice on how to overcome these problems, as I am mostly a cavalry general and not very good at sieges...
