Line 4:
This era was noted for the spread of Greek culture and its mingling with other cultures. While most of the old fashioned Greek City-state's were reduced into insignificance, the [[Balance of Power]] allowed them to live after a fashion.

As every army was descended from Alexander's [[Badass Army]] they could gain no tactical advantage over one another though they tried all kinds of techniques including the use of elephants. The result was simply a tie between the powers involved.
