AI rebellion - siding with robots - what will happen to traditions?

I've just had a rebellion: While my original specie had unlocked almost all traditions (only 3 more perks to get to complete it, so 32 purchased), when I've sided with machines, I had only had enough points to buy 8 perks. It is hardly an "equal". But indeed the traditions have been wiped clear and appropriate tradition trees have been renamed.

It's been a moment, but if I recall correctly your tradition and perks are lost, but you are given equal points in AI centric perks.

AI empires have very different "perks" and there usually isn't a 1 to 1 translation for organic perks to robot perks.

Again if memory serves, when the event happens and you choose the robot side, you are given a reasonable set of perks that would match the faction that started the event. A couple of perks that fixed and a couple of points to distribute on the empire screen.
