I wonder if there is away to have the summon Spirit Wolf in the Empire Skill Tree to be a Summon a Themed Animal, so if you picked the Primal Spider you will summon a Spider, or if your not a Primal Fury culture, maybe have a choice for the player to decide which animal can be summoned?

And primal animals are tier 2 and that one summon is tier 3, so overall there is no connection

reminds me that i'd like for summon type signature skills to just summon a form that doesnt need to be embarked when in water combat. maybe that's too complicated? it'd make sense next to strategic animal summons being based off terrain

This is a simple, flavorful idea that feels uncomplicated to implement. You could also give Reavers a Spirit Elephant, Industrious cultures a Spirit Spider, and so forth, without changing any stats. Just give all the animals a "spirit" cosmetic pass to show they are more spirit than animal and you're golden.

Everybody gets their own spirit mascot. Clever and cool, man!

I'm not quite sure if I understood you right, but if you want to give every culture a spirit animal I hardly disagree. Why would a culture focused on machines powered by magic, destroying fauna and flora have a spirit animal?
Same goes for a culture only caring about the things they craft, or a culture focused on the power of the arcane, studying scrolls, what would a spirit animal mean to them?

If that culutre has enough nature affinity to get the spirit wolf skin we can infer that this culture do care about nature and has a spirit animal. This is one fo the flaw in the narrative design of aow4, culture are not really predefined culture they are template on wich you will create your culture, you can play a evil high culture or industrious barbarian with construct tome. Culture will only have the identity you decide to give them in your playthrough .

Regarding primal they could get buffed up version of tier 2 mythic animal.
