Stalwart Defender will make Factions even more easy to White Peace with the +10 Peace Acceptance.
Also no downsides to having it.

Divergence covers most of it, but it's possible we might see events that relate to replacing "no longer relevant" traditions.
An alternative would be to be able to rename the culture you're leaving (say to "Old Scanian") and create "Scanian" with the replaced tradition as a divergence.
There is though the problem with changing an existing culture that you're changing it for *everyone* not just your realm, so Scanians who could use the "By The Sword" tradition might get annoyed if they lost it to you changing the culture like that.
The Turks should really have it as well maybe the unlimited kingdom cbs means that Seljuk will actually have a chance at taking AnatoliaThe Franks? The Arabs? The Iberians?
portraying the Seljuk conquest of Anatolia as "multiple kingdom level holy wars" is absurd thoughThe Turks should really have it as well maybe the unlimited kingdom cbs means that Seljuk will actually have a chance at taking Anatolia
yeah this is also the case and is something endemic to the game, which is that realms don't collapse... irl there are reasons why byzantium failed to defend its borders, but in this game they lose armenia, then immediately stabilize. throwing more CBs at the Seljuks doesn't address thisI don't think more CBs will help the Seljuks take Anatolia - they already have access to the kingdom-level invasion and kingdom-level holy war, but don't use them.
Groogy.Sounds op but welcomed in this case. Skånepåg friendly devs confirmed
Not everything in each tradition has to be geared toward a single playstyle. There can be elements within one tradition that might not be as powerful or even be superfluous in one playstyle but work well with another. That's part of what makes deciding to adopt one tradition over another an actual decision to make.I think the trouble is that a bonus to control growth isn't even really valuable for that sort of playthrough - if you've got your small, well-run kingdom, what sources are giving you low control? It feels like whenever I play that way, I'm already at max control all the time. I think a bonus that feels a little more impactful and actually helps build a strong, tall kingdom would be more appropriate, and lead to more engaging gameplay.
By the Sword - No limited to Kingdom-level holy wars, all CBs require one less level of Devotion than normal.Greetings!
As promised, here is the first of what we like to call “summer teasers”. These will be kept fairly small in scope while we enjoy our summer vacation. Today, we’ll have a small showcase of a few traditions that you’ll be able to pick up with the upcoming overhaul for cultures. Remember that what you see is a work in progress, and may be subject to change before release.

We’ll be back with proper Dev Diaries sometime in August!
You're the one who said, "But it sounds very useful for a smaller scale, more tightly focused playthrough playing tall and building a highly developed, small monoculture kingdom."Not everything in each tradition has to be geared toward a single playstyle. There can be elements within one tradition that might not be as powerful or even be superfluous in one playstyle but work well with another. That's part of what makes deciding to adopt one tradition over another an actual decision to make.
People also seem to be making the mistake of thinking about the traditions in isolation, ignoring that a culture is almost never going to have just one tradition and that you will almost always have a few traditions in your culture. Not every tradition needs to gear itself toward a single method of play, and it's in fact one of the benefits of having a system like this.
It's between two cultures, but you can then hybridize that hybrid culture again with another culture, being in effect a hybrid of more than two cultures.will we be able to hybridize with multiple culture or does the hybridization process occur only between two cultures?
ok, so it's a worthless waste of a slot, and therefore an indirect nerf to any culture that has it, assuming you don't as I do view it has having way more downsides than positives. that still seems like terrible balance, even for RP.Not everything in each tradition has to be geared toward a single playstyle.

+5 same culture opinion is actually quite strong - remember, it applies not only to your character, but all characters of that culture, making that cultural region way more stable, with less factions and assassinations, generally translating to greater overall prosperity.You're the one who said, "But it sounds very useful for a smaller scale, more tightly focused playthrough playing tall and building a highly developed, small monoculture kingdom."
What part sounds "very useful" if not the control growth? Surely not the paltry +5 general opinion?
You should be able to, based on what they wrote in previous dev diaries.For 'Staunch Traditionalists' the stubborn trait becomes more common which seems really cool! Would it be possible to mod this affect in for other traits? If so then would it only be for the personality traits or would any trait be possible?
I don't agree - the AI's decisions to declare war or join factions only lightly depend on opinion. A +5 will not noticeably impact stability.+5 same culture opinion is actually quite strong - remember, it applies not only to your character, but all characters of that culture, making that cultural region way more stable, with less factions and assassinations, generally translating to greater overall prosperity.
I guess it depends on how much it reduces the chance of people wandering off. Overall it doesn't look very useful, though. It might be more of a thing the AI has, making it hard to marry them.it does make them inferior if they have more downsides than positives though. isolationist seems entirely useless in this game
Across hundreds, thousands instances - that marginal effect will have effect.I don't agree - the AI's decisions to declare war or join factions only lightly depend on opinion. A +5 will not noticeably impact stability.
