goddam!!! thanks dude!!!
here are my justifications:
-Macedon had kings, but Alexander called himself Captain-General (his full title was: Alexander III Captain-General Tyrant Demagogue Pharaoh Great-King; and late to the Indians as European King of Kings)
-as for the leaders, you are very correct. And I'm pretty sure you named all of them in your list, just with Macedonian spellings (the spellings I am using are the Greek to English translations, since we are all English speakers, mostly). I could add the others, but who gets that many great leaders in game? If you do, I'll be obliged.
-one other thing about the great leaders - I find it dumb to add kings' names. That is what the ruler name is for, and Alexander III took that spot.
-Argos was the founding city of the Macedonians. I didn't put it at the top of the list because it was already there, and by Alexander's time Pella was the greatest.
Regardless, I am forever in your debt for this valuable information!!! (I spent all last night searching th web for info... couldn't find much) - especially for the city names. I bow down to you....

Alrighty then...
My source - for almost everything in this mod - is Harold Lamb's "Alexander of Macedon: Journey to World's End".
Here are some quotes I used as info:
Writing a few words on parchment, the general showed them to the sophist. Alexandros III, Strategos Tyrant Demagogue Pharaoh. After a second's hesitation, while Anaxarchus read, he added the word Theos. "His titles, as from today. In their simplest form. If he can live up to all those, it will be a miracle." --pg. 184
Later on, Lamb talks of a grant Alexander gives to the Athenians:
...The signature - Alexandros, Strategos. The grant, then, was from the captain-general of the Hellenes. --pg.185
Harold Lamb wrote many books on Ancient History, and was widely respected. (not sure whether he still lives)
And as for the leaders, names such as Perdikkas are my Perdiccas. Regardless, if you'd really like I'll add those leaders to my list.
And finally, about Argos, I guess I stand corrected

I've always read that Hercules was simply the Romanized form of the Greek hero Heracles (sometimes spelled as Herakles and a few even rarer variations)--I know the Romans spread pretty far, but California seems a bit of a stretch!
