Sure, culture is harder to get than it used to be, but would you pop a Great Engineer for +2 production/turn or a scientist for +2 science/turn? Of course not! Especially since culture doesn’t have buildings like Universities and Factories that multiply its effects. You only need Great Works if you’re pursuing a cultural victory. Great Musicians generate a one-time Tourism boost, which does nothing unless you’re going for a cultural victory anyway, and so you probably shouldn’t care about building the Musicians’ Guild in other strategies anyway. Great Works come at a significant cost themselves – Great Writers usually come close to paying for an entire social policy themselves with their Write Political Treatise alternative ability, and of course the eight-turn Golden Age from popping a Great Artist is amazing. You still need Monuments (the only basic building that still gives +2 culture/turn) to push your borders and unlock social policies, but in most cases you’re better off ignoring the rest of the cultural buildings from Amphitheaters on.īecause the cultural buildings no longer have specialist slots and their basic output is only +1 culture/turn, their usefulness doesn’t come close to justifying their production and maintenance costs unless you’re slotting Great Works into them. What you need to know for non-cultural victoriesįor the most part, you can ignore almost all of the new cultural stuff if you’re not planning on pursuing a cultural victory. This slick Firaxis-produced video gives a primer on the building blocks of culture. Now that you know what the new components are, let’s look at how they fit together. Going into each of the dozens of tenets available is beyond the scope of this piece, but the top takeaway is that Ideologies are an awesome, powerful reason to care about generating culture in the late stages of the game. Ideologies replace the old Order/Freedom/Autocracy policies. To win the game, you must have an aggregate tourism score with each rival civilization that is higher than the total culture they’ve generated over the course of the game. Tourism is the new road to cultural victory.
Great Works come in writing/music/art flavors, and generate +2 culture/turn and +2 tourism/turn for the city they’re placed in. Alternatively, artists can trigger a Golden Age, writers can generate a one-time big culture boost, and musicians can give a one-time big tourism boost. Great Artists, Writers, and Musicians replace the old Great Artists, and can all be consumed to create Great Works. The Writer, Artist, and Musician Guilds are national wonders that give culture per turn, Great Person points of the appropriate flavor, and specialist slots that generate culture per turn and points toward whichever type of Great Person. Here’s what you can expect.Ĭultural buildings like Amphitheaters only give +1 culture per turn now, and don’t have any specialist slots, but do have slots you can put Great Works in. Several dramatic alterations to the culture system all work in tandem to create a much better overall experience than existed in previous incarnations of Civilization V. Here’s a primer on the changes so you can hit the ground running. Nations preferring the diplomatic route to victory (or just partial to a spot of political wrangling) can spend turn after turn lobbying for support, indulging in espionage or trading votes to get their preferred policies approved.The second expansion changes the cultural side of the game quite a bit. The World Congress also appears in the latter part of the game a cyclical system where two players - the host civilisation and the one with most delegates - make proposals.
Pair your burgeoning art scene with increased interaction with other civilisations and tourism flourishes: you're Charles Saatchi with a diplomatic passport. Your civilisation can now gobble up a great artist and spit out one of their famous real-world creations to be installed in a cultural institutions. Invest in tourism and artwork becomes a weapon. You're Charles Saatchi with a diplomatic passport." "Invest in tourism and artwork becomes a weapon. In Brave New World it serves to counter aggressive culture: tourism. Defensive culture is the stuff of previous Civ iterations and is created by building wonders or landmarks. Culture now comes in two flavours: defensive and offensive.
