Religion Conversion for Emperor of China?

[ChanSama]

Recently playing the Mandate of Heaven DLC. The mechanism is so problematic. One biggest problem is that I cannot seem to convert Emperor of China (in my save I'm playing as Timurids) to another religion. I had Coptics force converting me but nope, doesn't work. Always reverts back to Confucianism. Are you kidding me?

Outside of certain extremely gamey strats, the Emperor of China is confucian.

well you could conquer all the hordes and try to go Tengri, or run down south and try for Vajrayana.

So I played as Timurids, force converted to Vajrayana, then claimed Mandate of Heaven. A few months later, I got automatically converted to Confucianism. I tried force conversion to Coptic but it didn't work. Then I somehow forced converted back to Vajrayana and this time a force conversion to Coptic worked.

How this government type works under the hood is really weird.

There is a streamer currently doing the triple Emperor thing, which means he's going to convert to a christian faith at some point, you should check his VODs when they're up. @florryworry on Twitch.

In one of my Japan games I was the emperor and had the Shinto faith. Confucian isn't a necessity

That requires some seriously gamey strats though, especially if you want to keep shogunate government.

Not really
You get a pop-up about which religion you want. You automatically lose the government type of Shogunate upon taking the mandate since it forces the celestial empire on you
