Albania Tradition is Pointless

[Santos Valorion]

Hey all, I wanted to ask what is the purpose of the Albania tradition 20% Fort Defense. They start with no Forts nor to my knowledge even had a fort in the area. Maybe it should be replaced with something better, troop movement speed would make sense historically because Albania's troops were able to always flank the ottomans, or maybe Cavalry combat ability as Albania mostly used Cavalry and lastly maybe even a cavalry ratio bonus for more cavalry in the field.
Anyway Thanks for Considering.

Every Capital Province has a level 1 Fort.

furthermore not every nation has great ideas/traditions, and many are mediocre. That being said, it's definitely not a terrible idea, just not superpowered in your starting position.

As people already said, every country starts with a fort in there capital.
Also even if that wasnt the case, why does every idea need to be usefull from the start? Why do I get a atrition for enemies or + legitimacy idea as some nations if my country in 1444 doesnt start at war or with low legitimacy?

1. Fort Defense affects capital fort (level 1), which could be critical in early wars.
2. Forts can be built from starting tech, so you could take advantage of this tradition before unlocking your first idea group and national ideas.

More time for you to stack up your allies and stick Ottos with a -2 dice roll vs. Skanderbeg. I'm not sure I'd say that's useless. Could be the start of victory.

Fort defense affects all your provinces.

Siege Ability is a great bonus that helps win fort races, and Fort Defense is its inverse, making it pretty decent.
