His ingenuity remade the Macedonian army turning it into a professional unit and a formidable force. He designed the sarissa, a pike that was 16 feet long, giving the Greek phalanx a greater reach than the traditional pikes that were used until then. This innovation meant that Philip's army could strike first and gain the upper hand.

Unfortunately, he was assassinated before his plans could come to fruition. The campaign was continued by his son Alexander III. Philip will be remembered for his skilled military, innovative and diplomatic tactics.
