Traditions are abilities or bonuses unlocked with the 
Unity resource. Traditions can be seen as a representation of the socio-cultural evolution of the empire as it expands and develops. Traditions help define an empire by allowing the adoption of traditions trees that suit its particular play-style. Completing a tree allows the empire to pick an 
Era Perk to further enhance themselves.
Traditions are grouped into 7 Tradition Trees.
Era Perk slot.Some empires have some traditions, or even entire tradition trees, that don't fit the empire by flavor and/or playstyle, swapped into other traditions.
Unlike the base game, tradition trees available to an empire can change mid game. For example, the 
Zyggerian Slave State starts with the 
Slaver Guilds civic which replaces the Prosperity tree with Slave Trade tree. If they reform their government so that the civic is removed then the Slave Trade tree is replaced by the Prosperity tree. When this happens the tradition swaps take effect. So if the top left tradition were adopted in the Slave Trade tree, then the top left tradition would remain adopted when switching to the Prosperity tree and would give the corresponding effect from the Prosperity tree
