How would you go about forming the Mugals as Lithuania?

Hi,
I haven't really posted much on the forum, but I was wondering how you would go about the question that I ask in the title.
Also, has anyone tried this? I think it would be cool.
I guess the main problem would be conquering the hordes all the way to India and then the switch to an Altaic culture, but I am not that good of a player, so a possible strategy would be nice, thanks!

PS - Changing to protestant or reformed would be a bad idea for a Lithuania > Mughals game wouldn't it?

Lithuania can't form the Mughals afaik.

To form Mughals you must be in the Altaic or Iranian culture groups and not be Ottomans or Persia.

Culture shift.

 

[Swistaczek]

Just get altaic culture.

Well, I was wondering about a specific strategy to do this. Is it really as simple as 1) end PU with Poland, 2) eat the hordes, 3) culture shift, 4) eat India?

I guess I'll also have to prepare for my tech group being downgraded to Muslim after forming the Mugals, so: 5) westernize...?

Requirements
The Mughal Empire must not already exist and you must not be the Ottoman Empire or Persia.
You must be in the Altaic or Iranian culture groups.
You must have Government technology at level 4.
Your ruler must have a Military rating of at least 6.
You must either:
Control (not necessarily own) Jaipur, Lucknow, Delhi, Agra and Panipat.
Have Delhi, Sind and Kashmir as vassals.
You must be in the Nomad technology group.

Sorry

Edit: Looked at it again, and found out that there is a second one! So nvm this comment

No problem Magnive!

But, the decision would lower me into the Muslim tech group it appears...

Whatever, it'd still be cool to do.

Well you would have to do a lot of colonization through the golden horde and timurids, along with some conquering in India. Your focus should be a military that can take on the hordes AND defend your huge Central Asian empire. Don't colonize too fast and get overextension. You might want to keep your centralization meter a little low to combat overextention. I suggest you take your time to make your empire a circular or oval shape, and don't just colonize a line through the hordes to India. Try to make every province border at least 2 more of your own, preferably 3.
