Alexander moves with army his back and forth across the Persian
Empire, conquering the land as he passes. To bring peace to these
newly conquered lands and to reward his generals, he gives them
control of the new lands. The generals establish administration over
the lands and levy taxes on the people living there.
Naturally, each general tries to acquire the most productive lands for
himself. With more productive lands, the general can levy higher
taxes, show his worth to Alexander, and win the game!
