Macedon is age 23 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 336 BCE. You unlock it with coins the ages below it earned. From there it produces on its own cycle, with its own upgrade costs and its own four heroes.

Alexander the Great raises every age you own at once. The other three raise this one. All four carry a piece of written history that unlocks as you level them.
Legendary
Alexander of Macedon conquered from Greece to India by age 30 and never lost a battle. He founded twenty cities named Alexandria, spread Greek culture across three continents, and when he ran out of known world to conquer, legend says he wept. Every conqueror since has been measured against him.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Olympias, princess of Epirus and mother of Alexander, kept sacred snakes and claimed her son was fathered by Zeus himself. Ferociously intelligent and utterly ruthless, she outmaneuvered generals and kings in the wars after Alexander died - until they finally dared to kill her.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Aristotle studied under Plato, tutored the teenage Alexander, and then organized all human knowledge: logic, biology, physics, ethics, politics, poetry. For nearly 2,000 years, European science WAS Aristotle. He was wrong about many things, but nobody else was even asking the questions.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Roxana, a Bactrian chieftain’s daughter, was called the most beautiful woman in Asia. Alexander married her for love - scandalous for Greeks who expected a Macedonian bride. She crossed mountains and deserts alongside his army, carrying the heir to the greatest empire on Earth.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Roxana to 5 is what automates Macedon.
