And you can’t really change your heritage in the same vein as, say, a tradition. While a language in reality does evolve over time, that is something we don’t really represent in the game, which makes it weird to simply “replace” a language. First, changing heritage or language for an existing culture felt a bit off.

Reasoning for what you are able to change this way is twofold. Even without the DLC, you can always add new traditions to fill out any empty slots. Do note that you need to own the Royal Court expansion to reform your culture, similar to creating a culture. If you want to change any of the remaining pillars you’ll have to create a new culture, either by diverging or forming a hybrid. The cultural head cannot replace everything mind you, but may change the ethos, the martial custom, and any tradition.

The cultural head has gained the ability to change, or ‘reform’ if you will, their culture in order to change it without the need to create a new culture. What if I want to keep the culture I already have? Or why can I not replace that one tradition to make my culture perfect? Fret not.

If you wanted to change anything regarding your culture, you would have to create a new one. Previously, you could only add new traditions to a culture to fill out any empty tradition slots you may have.
