Luckily enough about 1/4 of alexander's troops return with their loyalty intact to Macedonia, however the rest have turned traitors and joined the other pretenders. Macedonia is somewhat weak after its long funding of alexander's campaign, however its military is still strong and will be utilized to contain whatever control it has in greece.
