This battle was not actually deemed as a Macedonian defeat, more of a draw with both sides withdrawing after seriously heavy casualties. I'm pretty sure that these indians were controlled by Porus? (excuse me if I'm wrong) who was later respected by Alexander and was given the position of satrap.

@yetiporn The stats given by Arrian and Diodorus are only 80 - 700 infantry casualties, 200+ cavalry casualties. Indian casualties are given at 12,000, with 9,000 captured. No other source puts the Macedonian casualties higher than 1,000 or so. I don't know why

If you dont like the show then why did you look it up then?

Why would he post prank calls that will only last, well no one knows as it depends who evers on the end of the call.

So how about you stop typing in stuff what you dont like and type in I like poo.

Battles throughout history have made human life.If the Normans taken Britain, then would you be alive today(An example)?

bet your American where they go into war really late and then say they won it when they reallydidn

@NewRoman24 You beat me to it

[RustyTurban]

We should petition to get this back on. They used a modified Rome:Total War engine to make these so they could easily use an Empire engine to make Waterloo, Trafalgar, Austerlitz etc. Also those are typically more popular battles.

@cel1976ron it was actually when he was in his 30s as a provincial governor in spain, anyway caesar is right up there with alexander.

@KINGXxGRIMREAPER guessing it didn't get that much support; people aren't interested in history or anything useful, why should they when there are talentless shows?!

[KINGXxGRIMREAPER]

Why did they stop this
