I like this one, would be good to see a timeline. Also does the morrocan invasion of songhai count? As didn't Morrocan soldiers continue to rule Timbuktu for a while
Countries other than Macedon that could have "pulled an Alexander"?

What about Agathocles pulling an Alexander on Carthage? It's not hugely plausible, but it could happen in a still quite different way it did for Alexander (notably because of its dependence on Etruscean and other Greek reinforcements), making a Syracusean ensemble much more of an hegemony than an empire.

I'd love to explore the idea of a Fourth major Sahelian empire. Thought of doing a map scenario of that.
Not necessarily, the Pashalik of Timbuktu broke the back of Songhai and caused it to splinter, but the Moroccan sultanate didn't take official control over the entire empire (and it was more of a hegemony than outright conquest in places that they did take), nor did it cause any major demographics shifts due to that conquest.
I think having Ahmad Gran survive and instead kill Gelawaderos in 1543 you could achieve the same affect as Gran would have managed to have conquer the Abyssinian kingdom (which he achieved before his death).
Upon Gran's later death in this scenario his conquests would likely have splintered into various Muslim ruled polities that would greatly have changed the region.
