Cultural Traits Brainstorming

Copying this thread over from the old forums: http://thrivegame.freeforums.net/thread/1570/cultural-traits-brainstorming The Society Stage is still a ways away but we are speculating about concepts for it and one that always eludes us is a fun and realistic system for culture. Here is the latest idea I have on this. I’ve been thinking about a system of Cultural Traits for a while. What is a Cultural Trait? It’s a small and specific aspect of culture that provides certain bonuses or penalties …

So I think that you wouldn’t have simple scales like “peaceful - warlike” and instead the cultural traits that you start developing in tribal stage would carry on.
