So yeah, Buddhist Sweden how? What is the best route? How do I even do this without causing too much trouble in the East Asia? Just a regular ahistorical game session here.
The same way I made the Tectonic Knights pagan in my AAR: You need revolutionary rebels from a buddhist province to break your country. This can be achived by letting rebels occupy your capital for awhile. In my experience, the revolutionary rebels don't have to be the one to take your capital, as long as they are around when you get broken, it should work. However, moving your capital will help the process. I recommend taking a buddhist province, moving you capital there, spawning some revolutionaries using an event, let them break your country, and then moving your capital back to Sweden, if you want to.
Try attacking a nation in Southeast Asia. I believe there are some Buddhist provinces down there.
It depends, really. It should tell you if Ming is going to join in on the screen where you declare war. If Ming is defender of the faith, it might misunderstand your attack as a threat rather than a quest for enlightenment.You might try attacking a non-Buddhist nation that rules a Buddhist province.
