Something I thought about a bit was the consequences of Alexander being born a girl. What if this was actually the case? Who is most likely to succeed the throne of Macedon? Who does this "Alexandra" get married to?
He did.Didn't Alexander have another half-brother? Caranus?
Saberface?

If Alexandra is Saber, and Philip died on schedule, she'll just sit her eldest brother on the Throne, duelling several army officers who didn't obey her, before then started conquering Persian Empire anyway.

More prosaically, Philip probably sidelines Olympias much earlier and goes looking for another chief wife who can give him sons.
If he still has no capable sons at the time of his death, a plausible candidate is his nephew Amyntas (son of his brother Perdiccas III) who had briefly been child-king before Philip seized the throne. (OTL when Alexander succeeded Philip he promptly had Amyntas killed).
“Alexandra“ will be likely called Kleopatra, with her younger sister likely called Eurydike after their grandmother (Philip renamed at least one wife and likely two after his mother so the name is possible)Didn't Alexander have another half-brother? Caranus?
Caranus was likely still a child, so if Philip died at the OTL time his heir will be his nephew (and son-in-law) Amyntas who had married Kynnane, Philip’s eldest daughter
Exactly what I had said. Still without Alexander, if Philip do not marry the young macedon Kleopatra Eurydike (who for me is likely Caranus’ mother), Amyntas is the most credible heir of PhilipThat's not a given though. Philip was rather young when he died, and if he'd avoided assassination (or it had been butterflied) he could have lived long enough for Caranus to be an adult.
