Anyway when in EB, which nation was it that represents the like 'successors' to the Persian Empire, cuz i forgot. and i think mtw2 will be better then EB.
Pahlava, kind of. They didnt regard themselves as successors to start with, heck they were even called Dahae or robbers by the Persians themselves.

Pontos though is kind of the Achaemenid succesor state, as the Pontic royal family was Iranian in origin and claimed descent from a satrapal family who again had blood ties to Darius I. Hellenism though was the dominant "ideology" at the time, so the Pontic Kings portrayed themselves as truly philhellenic rulers.
