Ok, what if, during the invasion of India, Alexander the Great's army is surrounded and slaughtered by Porus's forces. Say Alexander and all his top generals are killed (Ptolemy, Seleucus, Perdiccas etc.) as is most of the entire Macedonian power structure.
So, what would happen? How would the empire deal with the collapse of the centre of power- with no Alexander or successors how would the dust settle?
Would we see a resurgent Babylon, Egypt etc.? Would pretenders to the Persian throne crop up? Please tell.
