伝統

伝統は文化の主要な風俗を表し、さまざまな効果を与えます。部族の時代には文化は5つまで伝統を持つことができ、次の時代に到達するたび、伝統の追加スロットが与えられます。 伝統を追加する基本コストは2000の威信で、次の事由により増加します。

• +2000 文化がその伝統に好ましい特色を持たない。
• +3000 伝統の任意条件を満たしていない。これはAIの文化指導者には適用されない。

DLC Royal Courtでは、伝統の置き換えができ、それには+50%のコスト補正がかかります。また、確立するまでに+25%の時間がかかります。

伝統を確立するために要する時間は、その文化を持つ伯爵領の数に依存します。その文化の伯爵領の数が少ないほど、早く進行します。伝統が確立するまでの期間の最大値は30年です。

多くの伝統は別の伝統と相互に排他的です。この制限を回避する唯一の方法は、他の伝統を持つ文化との混合です。
