CULTURE

our Culture rating is a measure of the “culture” in your city. “Culture” comes from education, religion, and some entertainment. Culture was very important to ancient Rome; it sought to impose its culture throughout the Empire, which is why so many languages today are based on Latin, the ancient Romans' language.

The Culture rating is calculated by comparing the number of buildings your city has in these categories with the size of your population. As the city grows, it needs more and more buildings to offer the same level of culture to its larger population.

To raise your Culture rating, build additional temples, oracles, schools, libraries, academies or theaters (the only “cultured” entertainment form back then).

Note that all these buildings must be active to count towards the Culture rating – which means that they must all have the employees that they need, and the theater needs actors to perform plays.
