Oh, I was very happy to come out as Alexander. I did try to answer the questions honestly, and not fix the result - honest! :D
Congrats on being the first person to get Roxane!

Oh, an Alexander! I was somewhat hoping to be Alexander the Great as well, but in all honesty, I don't think I would be brave enough. Great result though!
Yes, I was surprised to get Roxane as I didn't think she was an option (seeing what other people got) but it certainly was a pleasant surprise. :D

I came out as Alexander too, bummer; I was hoping for Lysimachos - a philisophical brute with military flair and no luck with the girlies. Was he an option?

Sorry, no, he wasn't! There were twelve options, Alexander, Aristotle, Cassander, Cleitus, Darius, Harpalus, Hephaistion, Olympias, Perdiccas, Ptolemy, Roxane and Sisygambis.
Thanks for playing,

I got Cleitus! Good thing Alexander knifed me in a drunken argument. I would've been scheming otherwise. :D

I think being the only one to die peacefully in his bed is pretty exciting... :D

Bold and aggressive, your plain-speaking sometimes gets you into trouble, but you're never afraid to stand up for what you believe in.

Cleitus? Not the answer I was looking for! I was shafted! :roll: :D

This was fun. I got Alexander:

Ahhh a Lysimachos admirer?! I find Lysimachos very interesting. The coins that were put out during his reign were some of the nicest. It is said an actual true to appearance portrait of Alexander was used on Lysimachos' coins.

I am a would-be Ptolemy.

Not much of a surprise there, I suppose. I could never imagine being an Alexander, but Ptolemy seems to have been the most sane and somewhat decent of the bunch who followed him.

I promise, though, that I would not have been as interested in inflating my opposition's numbers as he was! :wink:
