Yes, good! (And if my half-jesting response contributed to derailing the thread initially,
@Fabius Maximus has my apologies.)
Considering Parthia and Ptolemaic Egypt supported the liberatores, i wonder what happens after a liberator victory.
Perhaps Brutus and Cassius pay both states for their support with territory?
Regarding this scenario: was it not more a case of Egypt and Parthia supporting the Liberatores on the basis of "let's you and him fight"? Once the Liberatores score a big win, such support is likely to dwindle. Payment in land is hard to justify, as it will either cost the Liberatores all sorts of support back home, or it will just be a false promise and recognised as such. Possibly
both.
Their best chance is to simply portray themselves as advocates for peace in the east, making them at least the favoured faction in Parthia and Egypt (and securing their backs against betrays from that quarter). At the same time, they must use the momentum of their victory to rally as much support as they can. If they can make themselves look like a good bet - and, crucially - like the most
legitimate faction, they can pull off a victory.
(If they indeed manage to scare Lepidus into negotiations, and make him promises that make him feel safe and lead him to sway his support to them, they've basically won.)
