The Macedonians were once the most feared warriors on the globe. Funny enough, the majority of the army started out as working class people- farmers and the like. It was when Alexander The Great’s father trained them that they began to really flourish as a global superpower. Discipline was key, and rules were incredibly strict. This allowed them to become extremely regimented and meticulous in their practice. The Macedonian military was famous for using strategy and numbers to their advantage. Every one who fought in this army was extremely loyal. A large group of unpaid infantrymen marched alongside Alexander The Great for 20,870 miles on his Asiatic campaign- just to fight alongside the legend himself.
