It really depends on where you look. Alexander held superior strategy in my opinion, But the Khans (Not just chengiz) had the tech advantage.

horse archers with composite bows were like the fighter jets of their day.

Yeah I know it's not a composite bow but it's still funny.

Horse archer has been around for centuries, but the Mongol bow was unique
Alexander's forces had the superior phalanx formation and the first effective siege engines
I'd say Alexander had more of an advantage over his enemies (minus his campaign in India which we won't get into) than Chengiz
