Alexander the Great Scenario

[LordStone1]

In the first screenshot of Preview: Day 3, we see the first few rules for the Alexander the Great scenario.

The first rule is:

quote: Raise an heir old enough to take on the leadership of the Macedonians after your death. After finding a wife and giving birth to a son, you will earn a Victory Point for each year your son lives, up until the son reaches the age of 12, at which point you will get a 5 point bonus.

How is this accomplished? I've never married anyone nor raised any children before in a Civilization-type game. Do I build a "wife" unit or something?

Man, you gotta have such a sense of humor to figure out that we shall build a wife unit.

If I build a wife unit, can I choose her attributes? If I have barracks, does that mean my wife is a veteran - that is, she's already been married previously?

that's really weird. I wonder how you would be able to accomplish that in a CtP game.

So are we playing a male or female character?

Ooh - what if we were Hippolyta instead of Alex? Will CtP2 take that into account or will we drift into lesbian AI?
