The Domination tradition tree focuses on better managing planets and is available to all empires. The Discovery tradition tree focuses on exploration and research and is available to all empires. Each empire can select up to 7 tradition trees. Traditions are grouped into tradition trees with 5 traditions each, as well as a bonus for adopting the tradition tree and one for finishing it. The tradition cost formula is the following:Īn empire has completed one tradition tree and opened another, for a total of 8 unlocks (5 + 2 opens + one extra for finisher) and 2 open trees. Adopting and completing a tree both increase the unlocked traditions factor by 1. The cost of unlocking a tradition depends on how many traditions the empire has already unlocked as well as whether the Empire Sprawl is larger than Administrative Capacity.
