Possible... Or maybe he just wasn't strong enough?

Just remember that Alexander was the strongest one in the small Macedonia and only after becoming supreme ruler there (throne was given to him by birthright but supreme dictatorship could only be achieved by his own efforts) he went to conquer the world..
Those three who emerged after his death (Ptolemaius, Seleuces and whatwashisname), we're to be the strongest in a huge empire and when talking about human possibilities in those times, distances matter.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.

Yes, please compare mobility of Ghegis Khan's army and that of the Alexander, and now compare the size of their empires..don't you see any similarities?Ghengis Khan was supposed to have done better...
Of course mobility doesn't solve all the problems, but it's one of the main things that influence how much a good conqueror will conquer (till he dies..
)

Hm, I´m sure Method has his price, too. Hardware is expensive to buy, and with all people being internetjunkies not going to work, where should that money come from?
(It was Method who invented XenoBrew, wasn´t it?
