You keep them, unless...

Some policy branches are incompatible with other branches. You can't have the religion branch and the science branch at the same time, for instance (makes sense, doesn't it). But if you unlocked freedom, you can pick mercantilism (for instance) and keep all the benefits from the freedom tree.

Some are permanent, some are not. Rationalism and Piety cancel each other out, so unlocking Piety first and then Rationalism will make all Piety benefits disappear. Same goes for Order, Authocracy and Freedom. Other branches have no such issues and will add their benefits no matter what you do.

Right, cheers. You also waste an upgrade chopping and changing right? So is it normally best to fill one up and then change/fill up what you want and then change?

Also is there extra bonuses when you complete one than what is shown when hovering over each individual upgrade?

Don't know what you mean exactly with chopping and changing but there are absolutely no penalties for starting a new branch while another isn't finished yet. So depending on your strategy you might never wanna fill out a branch ever.

I never noticed extra bonusses for filling out a branche.

There are MASSIVE bonii for filling the whole branche!!

Liberty gives a FREE great person (of your choice!!!) when completed whole. An engineer is basicly a "free wonder" making it a potential match winner. Completing Honour gives gold equal to units combatskill when you kill it. All the others give nice bonii as well.

Switching your policychoice between a few ladders is sometimes okay, if the circumstances ask for it. But I find in most cases taking the whole branch is best.

Well, when it says that you can adopt a new policy before you can get the individual bonuses you have to spend a turn opening that line. What I mean is can you be pressing on with multiple branches at once?

One game i'm trying to complete 'order' and on the face it says it gives me added culture but none of the individual progressions say the added cultue.

IIRC (I am at work...) Order gives you + 1 happy per city uppon simply adopting it. The Bonus you get for completing all 5 order policy icons (that emans investing 6 total policypoints in the entire Order tree) is the +1 culture/prod/food/gold ect per city. This is cumulative to any other bonus obtained in teh ordertree itself.

yes you can pursue non-mutually-exclusive branches at the same time.
