Form Mughal Empire

This article is accurate for the latest versions of EU3, Napoleon’s Ambition, In Nomine, Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind.

The unification of the Mughal Empire works differently in different versions of the game. In EU3 and Napoleon's Ambition, it was implemented as country event that, when the preconditions were met, could be accepted or declined, but only once. In Nomine has changed this unification to a decision. The article below lists the requirements and effects for each version separately.

EU3 and Napoleon's Ambition

The map shows both the required provinces to form the Mughal Empire and the optional ones needed to decrease the MTTH. The capital provinces of those countries with the correct national culture to receive the event are marked with a star.

Requirements

The following conditions must be met for the event to fire:

• Mughal Empire must not already exist.
• One must not have declined the event previously.
• One must belong to either the Eastern aryan, Hindusthani, Western aryan or Dravidian culture group or have Mongol as a primary culture.
• One must own these provinces: Jaipur, Panipat, Delhi, Lucknow and Agra.
• One must not be at war.

MTTH

The mean time to happen for this event is 216 months.

• For each of these provinces owned the MTTH is decreased by 5%: Gazni, Balkh, Kabulistan, Badkhshan, Kutch, Sind, Bakkar, Lahore, Chandigarh, Sutlej, Mandla, Oudh, Allahabad, Baluchistan, Indus and Quetta.
• Centralization steps 2, 3 and 4 decrease the MTTH by 10% each. (30% total)

• A monarch military skill of 7 or 8 will decrease the MTTH by 10% and 20% respectively. (30% total)
