One year and a half

Back on Earth, Alexander, the Great, became the king of Macedonia at the age of 20 and by the time he was 30, he had conquered most of the known world, including Greece, Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. However, for Alexander's empire to reach such a great feat and be present in modern's history books, there was a need for a stable and organized kingdom.

Under the leadership of Philip II, Alexander's father, Macedon underwent a period of significant political and military reform that laid the groundwork for its later success. Philip reorganized the Macedonian army, creating a powerful and disciplined force that was capable of defeating much larger and more established armies. He introduced new weapons and tactics, including the sarissa (a long spear) and the phalanx formation, that gave the Macedonian army a decisive advantage on the battlefield.
