While doing research for my Blood & Gold TL, an interesting scenario occurred to me:
WI Philip II of Macedon had not been assassinated in 336 B.C. and instead gone on to invade Persia instead of his son? I know that this has been asked before, but, suppose after winning several victories against Darius III, the Persian King offers him half of his domains (i.e. everything west of the Euphrates) as in OTL with Alexander, and Philip, being the pragmatist he is, accepts (let's say it leaves him with Asia Minor, Syria and the Levant, Egypt and possibly also parts of Mesopotamia). Perhaps he also offers him 50,000 golden talents and the hand of one of his daughters as in OTL.
So, what happens now in this scenario (assuming Philip consolidates his holdings)?
