Their cultural pragmatism was what allowed them to rule such a large empire for long: a ruthless pursuit of efficiency. On the one hand, Cedonians generally do not fall in to the trap of, "But that's the way we've always done 'X'," if a more efficient way of doing 'X' becomes available. On the other hand, the cultural tendency to take the action that is most immediately workable, rather than the best possible action, sometimes leads to unfortunate future consequences.
