Tradition question

[jonandbeth]

Getting back into CK3 after years away. Playing the usual Ireland 1066.

Im about to amass 2000 prestige which could allow me to buy either highlander or wetlander tradition. Not amazing but ok, and my king is about to die with that 2000 prestige.

Should i buy one of those? Should I wait for better ones down the road? Is there a limit on traditions? Do the starting ones count against that limit?

Thanks for the help!

I wouldn’t waste your time on them. it’s something like 50 or 100 years between reforms as well as the time it takes to embrace the new tradition. Your next ruler might have more prestige to spend on something better

And there is a limit of traditions based on cultural era.

Thank you!

I think the above was terrible advice.
because of the cool down between them, it is imperative you start adding them early to get all the ones you really want.

There are some that will increase your Men at Arms size, or access to different ones.
THese are some of the best ways to get seriously strong.

They don't even know if they want Highlander or Wetlander traditions. It's just what they can afford.

Wetlanders is pretty good for Ireland! I often grab that one. I think it will give a development buff even when tribal. Maritime mercantilism is another, though you'll need to feudalise for that to be helpful.

My advice would be to not worry too much about building the most OP culture you can, that will get old pretty quickly as there are a few standouts, but instead just experimenting and getting into the RP of it.

You can always merge with other cultures at a later date to suit changing circumstances.

Also, there is a game rule or 2 that you can change, still keep Iron Man & Achievements, that will half the time restriction down from 50 years to 25, 100 years to 50. I think you can do it even more, but achievements turn off

Traditions are talents for your culture you want to pick ones that will support your play style. If you think you're going to be fighting a lot in hills and mountains highland warriors is really good. Although you can switch out traditions it takes time, but don't feel like you picked the wrong one. Building traditions is without a doubt what I have the most fun doing in this game and they can have some sweet combos. Nothing like having a culture where all your knights start as 25+ prowess blade master shieldmaiden warrior monks!

court gardener gives between +0.1 to +0.7 development growth to realm capital based on skill, as well as some opinion boosts, its very powerful for development
