军事传统

Military traditions are a mechanic that unlocks unique abilities, new units and special bonuses to units. Each tradition has one bonus at the start, followed by three paths that can be taken. After the seventh tradition in the chosen path is reached, another special benefit is unlocked. One military tradition costs 800 military power, and each tradition taken increases the cost by 50%, and each military technology level reduces it by 25%.

Military Tradition types

There are seven different military traditions in the world, tied to culture groups:

Barbarian traditions
