Taking moh as southamerican religion

[Arezir]

The title pretty much says it. I have been thinking about playing a sunrise invasion kind of campaign as a mayan nation (that possible maya reformed+admin+mughals+celestial empire 90% coring cost reduction intrigues me).

As the wiki says "Any nation belonging to either the pagan or Eastern religion groups can claim the Mandate if they neighbor the current emperor by declaring war using the Take Mandate of Heaven casus belli." I am thinking it should but I would like confirmation.

Furthermore, does reformation impact taking moh in any way? Any experience or advice in campaigns like this?

Thanks in advance

as long as you dont convert to christian you can take mandate of heaven with your starting religion
as mayan I can suggest you to colonize near ming to be their tributary from there expand to japan(doing firt may cause aggresive expansion towards ming and they may not accept your desire.

All American religions, whether reformed or unreformed, are Pagan, so you're good to go. You could even throw in a restoration of the Roman Empire (any Christian or Pagan can do that).

Only thing to be careful about is making sure you finish reforming your religion before losing primitive status. It shouldn't be an issue for a historical Mesoamerican start, but it might be for some custom starts.
