About Hegemony: Philip of Macedon
Hegemony: Philip of Macedon lets you conquer the ancient Greek world in this PC RTS war game that follows the rise of Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great.

Steeped in history - In-game pedia and 100+ historical objectives recreate the rise of the Macedonian empire. Detailed and stylized world and map - Transition smoothly between the detailed 3D world and the stylized board-game map while maintaining complete control over your empire. Subjugate your enemy - Chase down and capture routed enemy units to create slave gangs to work your mines or build your forts. But don't leave them unguarded or they could rebel and wreak havoc in your empire's heartland!
