Pretty sure it's the first province you colonise.

Oh damn, I think you're right... *sigh* I thought that they'd pick one of the provinces among the first 5 when the CN forms.

I guess I cannot do anything to change their capitals now?

I suppose not

So after failing with Baluchistan -> Mughals, I switched to Sind -> Mughals, because I'm finding the Indian Sultanate ideas are *far* better for the early game before I can finish forming Mughals. Conquered Baluchistan, culture shifted so I could get the Mughals decision, and have been making steady progress since. However, I don't normally play in India, and for the first time the Sikh religion popped up in my territory. While it lacks any sort of interesting mechanics so far as I know, I've never played with it before, and the bonuses, at least, look really nice, so I'm thinking about switching to it. Also, I don't think Mughals requires being Muslim, so far as I can see. However, I don't see any option to do so. (also, it's early enough where I can take religious purely for the 'Holy War' casus belli, which would be grand in a world where I'm the only Sikh nation in existence)

So is there a way to convert to Sikh normally, or do I have to rely on the old 'get provinces really angry, then let zealot rebels convert me' option?

 

[Rikissa]

Hindus can convert to Sikhism through the Religion interface - so you first would have to accept Hindu Zealots' demands which should be no problem in India

 

[Sadino]

Ah. Nothing for Sunnis, though? As for zealots, already having Sikh provinces, I think I can just do the same with Sikh itself and save myself some time.

Is there an ironman-compatible (preferably quick and simple) way I can mod the game-files to get Aztec sprites for the Mughal tag?

Centers of Reformation....do they eventually expire? How can I destroy them other than annex and convert?

Going Sunni -> Hindu -> Sikh has the benefit you won't need to spawn any rebels as long as 50% of your provinces are already Hindu

You can accept the Hindu Zealots' demands as soon as you place a missionary

Yes, they can end but I didn't see the date, probably 1650-1700

Fairly sure they go away in 1650.

Yes.

I don't think they disappear. I think they just stop working to convert stuff. The provinces that the CoR are in should have the -5% modifier to conversion for being religious centers.

I am finally about to move my Main Trade City from Beijing to the Malacca trade node... Does it actually matter which city I choose in the node? I own all three Centers of Trade there. Development wise, Pasai (35), Brunei (27) and Malacca (26)... but I can't see any local bonuses for actually being a country's Main Trade City, so for strategic location/roleplay purposes, I prefer to choose Malacca itself.

In fact I don't even see any bonuses for choosing a Center of Trade, so I am quite tempted to pick Johor, which includes modern day Singapore... would that be a mistake? Am I missing something important here?

Is there a place in game to quickly view total development instead of adding it all together from the development screen?

For your own country? Either the Economy tab (bottom left) or the Great Powers rankings if you are a Great Power (and you have Rights of Man).

Sweet thanks!

No, all that matters is that you put the Main Trading Port in the correct node. The individual province doesn't matter.

Does aristocratic ideas increase my costs for state-coring a province?
