{{Version|1.11}}
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{{icon|prestige}}2000の威信で、次の事由により増加します。
* {{red|+2000}} 文化がその伝統に好ましい[[文化#特色|特色]]を持たない。
* {{red|+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{{red|+50%}}のコスト補正がかかります。また、確立するまでに{{red|+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。
