Traditions
A tradition is a permanent bonus or drawback that comes with your faction. Each faction has four: three bonuses and one drawback. They are always on for every member of the faction, from the first tick to the end of the game. You can't change them. They are the same in Legacy, Tactic and Flash games.
The faction picker also shows them before you join.
In resource tooltips, tradition effects appear under Traditions. See System outputs for how they add up. Legacy and Tactic games also have a lex named Navarch Tradition. It is a lex, not a tradition.
