King Nabonidus of Babylon focuses on everything else but the impending doom. He becomes the first archaeologist, stays away from Marduk, worships the moon and is generally an absent monarch.
Amasis II rules over a golden era of Egypt, also blissfully unaware of the coming doom.
Bimbisara assumes the throne of Magadha in India and begins the rise of the Magadhan Empire. Of these three monarchs, he is the only one who does not need to care about the rise of Cyrus. It will take a while until the Persians threaten India proper.
