A Diadochi WI: Philip III Arrhidaeus and Adea-Eurydice II produce children?

the thing is, Craterus is the most popular general by far in the empire. He will face no contest if he turns around and marches on Babylon. I think at best his ambitions were limited to Macedonia. This is kind of similar to Antigonus, who didn't really give a shit about the territories beyond the Tigris and Euphrates.
Krateros is also the only one of the generals (alive) to be married to a royal princess of Persia because his Susa's bride was Amestris, niece of Darius and granddaughter of Sisygambis (and so first cousin of Stateira and Hephaestion's Drypteis). Likely if he was still in Babylon at the time of Alexander's death neither Perdikkas or Roxane will have any space for their OTL intrigues. I think who in OTL after Alexander's death Krateros was just doing his best for mantain a position of power without declaring unnecessary conflicts (or maybe he was taking his time while cursing his bad luck).
