The Mughal Empire was a powerful Indianised Turco-Mongol Muslim state, founded in the early 16th century by Babur, a Timurid prince and descendant of Tamerlane. At its height in the early 18th century, the empire controlled almost all of the Indian subcontinent and quarter of the world's economy before internal struggles allowed regional powers to take hold (such as the Maratha and Sikh Empires) and the Empire fractured. Its final stronghold, Delhi, was annexed by the British in 1858 after the Indian Rebellion. In-game, the Mughals may be selected in a later historical start or formed by any Iranian or Central Asian state which controls certain provinces in India.

Diwan[edit | edit source]

The Mughals have access to the Diwan mechanic, which replaces the regular culture promotion mechanics. Instead of spending diplomatic monarch power to promote cultures into accepted status, the Mughals must instead own every single province of a culture (including uncolonized provinces, but excluding provinces in colonial regions) before said culture is permanently assimilated into the empire. There is no cap on how many cultures may be assimilated, and assimilating an entire culture group grants a unique bonus, listed below. Assimilation of an individual culture is permanent, but assimilation of culture groups is not; if a province is lost or given away, its culture will remain assimilated, but the bonus from assimilating its culture group is lost.

This disables being able to change primary culture, and the accept culture buttons. But you can still change the culture of provinces via the normal methods.

Form Mughal Empire

$MONARCH$ has begun to lay the foundation of his new empire. Although inferior in numbers, his well-disciplined troops have managed to achieve several decisive victories against the Sultans of India. The battle of $CAPITAL$ became the first great victory in a series of territorial expansions and, with time, the empire of the Mughals could stretch over the larger part of the Indian plateau.
