The player can recruit units in batches there in exchange for gold won by accomplishing objectives during the scenario. Persian Command Tents can also be captured on the battlefield to serve as forward bases. Following the Persian Army's retreat, Ox Wagons, renamed Packed Command Tents, will transport Macedonian Command Tents to the front lines as the player clears the mountain passes of the Greek Mercenaries. The Greek Mercenaries also have several Greek Commander Tents in the passes.

• The Battle of Gaugamela: There is a Greek Commander Tent in each of Alexander's, Parmenion's, and Perdiccas' camps, renamed Royal Tent, Parmenion's Command Tent, and Perdiccas' Command Tent, respectively. Losing any of these results in the loss of the scenario. Alexander's Royal Tent is also where various special "Emergency measures" can be researched.
• The City at the End of the World: If the player upgrades a Barracks District in Alexandria Eschate to the third level, a Greek Commander Tent will be constructed there, near to the Gymnasion.

After defeating the Oreitans for Aeropos, the player can bring units to one of his Greek Commander Tents to exchange them for the units present there (Elite Phalangite, Companion Cavalry, or Pattiyodha Longbowman). Two Greek Commander Tents lie to either side of the Persian blockade which bars Nearchos' fleet from sailing upriver to Susa. They must be destroyed to remove the blockade.
