Culture helps you to ensure your population is healthy, productive and happy. You will mainly need Culture to upgrade buildings (together with population and other resources).The higher the level of a building, the more Culture Points it will require.
You can get Culture mainly from Cultural Buildings, but also from Advanced Street types and Ancient Wonders.
Hint: Culture is not required to build level 1 buildings, only upgrades require it!
Culture Bonus
If you have more Culture than your upgraded buildings are currently using (“Required Culture”), the remaining “Available Culture” will give you a Culture Bonus, which will increase your base resources production of Coins and Supplies.
You can get temporary additional Culture when other players polish your cultural buildings through Neighborly Help. This will help you to get to the higher levels of Culture Bonus.
You can see how much you are producing with the help of the Culture Bonus, and what your regular production would be without it. Enter your Residence or Workshop and you will see an Icon indicating your production has a bonus, hover your mouse over it and you will see the information on a tooltip.
There are 4 basic levels of Culture Bonuses:
Level 1 will increase your production rate from the standard 100 % to 125 %. You should definitely try to get this.
Level 2 will increase it from 125 % to 150 % and it will worth your while to reach this Bonus level on your own.
Level 3 will increase it from 150 % to 160 %, this Bonus level is intended to be reachable through Neighborly Help.
Level 4 will increase it from 160 % to 170 %, only a steady flow of Neighborly Help will ensure you can get this Bonus without having to occupy too much space with Cultural Buildings.
Hint: Once you have reached 125%, you can get additional temporary Culture Bonus levels by using Spells! Ensorcelled Endowment, allows you to enchant your cultural buildings so that, when they receive Neighborly Help, your total Culture Bonus will increase by 5% for each.
Cultural Buildings
Purpose
With Cultural Buildings you will make your city more beautiful and you will increase your available Culture. After unlocking a Cultural Building in the Research Tree, you will be able to build it via the Buildings Menu, if you have the required resources.
Requirements
You need to unlock Cultural Buildings in the Research Tree. They can be moved, sold and rebuilt. They cannot be upgraded.
Sell Cultural Buildings: Over time, you will research newer Cultural Buildings which will give more Culture. Often it will make sense to replace your older Cultural Buildings with the newer ones, to save space in your city.
By selling a Cultural Building you will receive back part of the resources you have spent to build it. Premium Cultural Buildings however will not give back Diamonds.
Hint: If you decide to cancel a construction of a cultural building you will loose part of your resources
