The press release states:

A century before the events of ROME: Total War, Alexander ascends the Macedonian throne and embarks upon an audacious campaign to conquer the all-powerful Persian Empire. Players will lead their armies to unify the Greek city states, and then march across Central Asia, routing all enemies along the way, before establishing their legend as Alexander the Great, the most remarkable general of classical civilisation.

For players who have mastered ROME and Barbarian Invasion, Alexander provides the ultimate test of their skills.

As with ROME: Total War and Barbarian Invasion, the iPhone and Android versions of Alexander will deliver the full experience of the desktop version, with a UI tailored specifically for phones.

The iPhone version will be free to download for anyone who already owns ROME: Total War - Alexander on iPad, otherwise it will $4.99 to download.

The ROME: Total War titles are some of finest strategy games ever created, and their mobile counterparts bring intuitive controls for touch screen gaming, whilst maintaining all of the original features that made all three ROME: Total War games instant classics.
