Does this mean you can choose different traditions, like styles of conscription, for your people? If so, that's super cool.

Any chance on getting a team member comment on this?

Oh, that will probably be preview material in its own right. So to answer your question: yes, but not yet.

Good enough of an answer. It has the potential to be something amazing. Some of us advocated for the "evolution" of barbarian factions into building more advanced infrastructures such as paved roads and with this mechanic, it might just be possible.

I'm pro-evolving "barbarian" factions, not only because it would be more fun gameplay-wise, but because it's so obviously more realistic than having factions that unable to adapt to using newer technologies, even in the course of centuries of interacting with more 'civilized' cultures and/or reigning over formerly more civilized areas...

That sounds pretty sweet. Huge cities, anyone??!!

In MTW2 every faction (apart from the Aztecs perhaps) has the ability to build huge cities, as opposed to only 'civilised' factions in RTW.
Or did the EBteam intend to give the 'barbarian' factions no huge cities?

I think they must do that ...
