as for the freedom of the author , there's also the injuries Philip sustained (unable to use a leg and an arm, didn't remember wich side though lol)
anyway that's a great manga, I wonder if the author will go till the end of Eumene's life and if will we have to wait 20 or so years to see it to us?
King Philip dies assassinated in Greece in 336 BC.
The Scythian campaign takes place in 342 BC .... so 6 years left until Alexander succeeds him.
However, it'd seem that the author is taking some freedom (or re-interpreting the official history).
The episode where King Philip is wounded in his right leg is considered part of the campaign against the Ardiaioi in 345 BC (3 years before the Scythian campaign).
Similarly, the unsuccessful sieges of Perinthus and Byzantia were supposed to be in 340 BC and 339 respectively (more than 2 years after the Scythian campaign)
.... it's like official chronology has been reversed

you will also find an interesting explanation for Philip's assassination, involving Attalus and Eurydice.
Though, I strongly doubt that the author will follow that route exactly (ancient sexual mores are still not well-appreciated nowadays ^^).
Best regards,
Thanks for your work like always, Hox.

Now I will spend another month agonizing until the next chapter comes.
It's probably because they are hard to translate well, not to mention the time it takes to make them in the first place.
