Does the bank update prepare for a suite of targeted updates?

I think that the updating of the banks can be used as springboard to put in place new updates.
This could be implemented using each of the traditions (see image below) to create a dedicated update.

That would be an interesting way to go about it, to say the least.

Are you referring to modding the Traditions? I don't think there's been an official statement, but they look like they'll be fairly straightforward to mod. The biggest issue would be that the default UI doesn't seem to have a may to handled additional ones - you'd either have to replace existing Traditions or change the UI.

No I am not talking about modding but to elaborate each of the subjects of the traditions for example:
-the diplomacy tradition would allow to introduce espionage, redesign of the federations ...
-the tradition of exploration could allow artefcats, natural wormhole ...

So he's suggesting that each tradition tree could be pointing towards the topic of future expansions.

Yes, it's exactly that

It would be quite interesting for them to do. Especially since each of these are major areas of the game, all of which could use expanding upon. I think Utopia would fit the "Harmony" tree already though.

Even more clever if Paradox count the popularity of each tradition and use that to determine which update to work on next.

probably don't have the means to get metrics for it, and they've probably already begun preliminary work on the next update.

He could do a survey on that.

Wouldn't it make the traditions that hadn't received updates a little bland in comparison to those that had? Better to do a smaller amount at a time across the board.

They are already planning on doing targeted updates (Like banks and utopia). Plus it wasn't meant that the actual traditions be expanded, just the areas that the traditions describe. For example, Utopia is covering the harmony tree area pretty well. (As well as the domination one, a little bit)
