Culture

Every player needs culture points to be able to colonise or conquer. Without the right/specific amount of culture points you are not able to colonise a new polis. Other uses for culture points include resetting researches in the academy for 1 culture point each.

There are several ways of acquiring culture points throughout Grepolis; by holding City Festivals, Olympic Games, Victory Processions, Theatre Plays. All of these events take place in the Agora and all accumulate 1 culture point each time they are used/held. To access any of these events you should click on the Agora and then go to the Culture tab.

Victory Processions

This is the main method used to accumulate culture points as it does not cost any resources or any gold. This method involves using accumulated battle points (BP) - both offensive and defensive to hold little processions in your cities. Each of which increase your bank of culture points by 1.

You are allowed to hold one Victory Procession per every 300 battle points that you earn. These battle points can be both offensive, where you attack a player and kill troops/ships, or defensive, where you are attacked by a player and you kill troops/ships. Also, you are only allowed to hold one Victory Procession in a polis at one time, however you can hold several at once as long as you hold them all in different villages. For example, say I had 5 cities and I had 1500 battle points that I had not already used on Victory Processions. I would be able to set up 5 victory processions, 1 in each city, at the same time using up 300 BP per Procession. Then once they had all finished, I would have an extra 5 culture points.

Victory Processions can vary in length depending on how fast the world you are playing on is. On a 1 speed world, a Victory Procession takes 8 hours to complete. Whereas on a 2 speed world, this time is halved to just 4 hours since the world moves at twice the speed.

City Festivals

Holding City Festivals is the way to go for players who find it easier to raise enough resources, rather than accumulating battle points. This method, like the other 3, increases your bank of culture points by 1 for every time you hold a Festival.

In order to celebrate a city festival you must have a level 30 academy. This is the maximum level of the academy. Alongside this each time you hold a City Festival it costs you 15000 Wood, 18000 Clay and 15000 Iron.

This method of accumulating culture points takes 12 hours to complete on a 2 speed world and 24 hours on a 1 speed world. You are only allowed to hold one Festival per city at a time.

Olympic Games

Organising Olympic Games is the only method of accumulating culture that needs gold for it to work. This method is unlike the rest as it does not use either resources nor BP to complete, just gold.

For every Olympic Games you organise you must pay 50 gold and also must have the academy in the selected village at level 30, just like when performing Theatre Plays and celebrating City Festivals. This method also accumulates 1 culture point per time that it is used.

Each Olympic Games takes 5 days to complete on a 1 speed world and 2 and half days on a 2 speed world.

Theatre Plays

This is the special way of gaining culture points as it is only possible if you decided to build a Theatre as one of your two special buildings. However, this method involves no gold and no battle points.

If you decided to build a Theatre as one of your special buildings then congratulations, you are now able to hold Theatre Plays to gain culture points. To hold a Theatre Play you must also pay 10000 Wood, 12000 Clay and 10000 Iron each time you hold one.

You are only allowed to hold one Theatre Play per village at a time. Each Theatre Play takes 5 days to complete on a 1 speed world and only 2 and a half days on a 2 speed world. Each Theatre Play accumulates 1 culture point on completion.
