Most fun religion for Mughals?

[viks92]

I recently discovered that you dont need to stay sunni to use Mughals mechanics. And after hearing that you can go hindu or even go confucian (not sure how and why), I want to hear what religion could be fun most fun playing as Mughals.

Zoroastrian. I just find the concept funny.

Hindu, definitely. The monuments you can use as Hindu are great. And if you take the Religious idea group, you'll get Deus Vult on the vast majority of the world.

I already heard that argument for Hindu Mughals to get those monuments.Are Hindu monuments that good? Also i dont think i will go for WC, just wanted to play in that part of the world, so most likely i will just slowly creep towards Venice trade node after I conquer India

Inherent: +2 Tolerance of the True Faith, 10% Trade Efficiency, 2% Conversion Resistance (like the three Islam denominations).
Similar to the Copts, 5 specific provinces to gain bonuses:

-10% Construction Cost
+10% Goods Produced
+10% Governing Capacity
+2% Missionary Strength
-0.05 Yearly Corruption

Obviously the Hindu monuments provide vastly greater benefits, and by the time you're Mughals most of India is yours and the CB from Religious ideas will apply effectively globally already, but the concept is entertaining to me. A post-Iranian superpower reverting to a proto-Iranian faith.

The Hindu monuments are absolutely ridiculous, and IMO Hindu Mughals are way more fun than Sunni. Confucian sounds like it could be pretty fun since you're already playing culture pokemon with the Diwan, why not play religion pokemon too?

The main issue with Confucian is that you need to get to China first, which takes a lot longer than getting to India. And you pretty much get enough religious land share for the Hindu switch just by following your mission tree into India, whereas with confucian you either have to ignore your missions completely or do some rebel shenanigans.

Wait! There are other ways beside reformation and rebel shenanigans to change religion? I was under impression that beside reformation, missions and events you can change religion only with the help of rebels

You need to convert via rebels, but rebels will only actually convert you if the majority of your country's development already follows their religion. This can be done either through allowing the religious rebels to convert provinces by sieging them down, or by simply conquering enough of a religion that it becomes a majority.
