Culture Points (CP)

What are Culture Points?

Culture Points (CP) determine how many villages you can own.
Each new village — whether you settle it or conquer it — requires a certain amount of CP.

You earn Culture Points by:

  • Building and upgrading structures in your villages.

  • Hosting parties in your Town Hall.

  • Using Artwork (found in adventures or bought in auctions).

At the start of the game, every player begins with a base amount of CP that depends on the gameworld speed.


How many Culture Points do I need?

The more villages you have, the more CP you’ll need to unlock the next one.
Use the table below to find the Culture Point requirements for each game speed.

How to check your Culture Points

You can view:

  • Your current total CP, and

  • How many you produce per day,
    in the Administration Building of any village.

Different buildings give different amounts of CP — upgrading higher-level buildings increases your daily CP output.


Earning extra Culture Points

Boost your Culture Points by:

  • Using Artwork (from adventures or the auction house).

  • Hosting small or large celebrations in your Town Hall.

The amount of CP gained from Artwork, celebrations, and at the game start depends on the world speed. You can check these details in the Culture Points tab of the Game Version & Speed overview.


Settling or Conquering Villages

You must have enough Culture Points for the next village:

  • When you send your settlers, and

  • When they arrive at the destination.

When conquering a village, you also need enough Culture Points at the time of the battle to lower enemy loyalty successfully. For more information, see: Conquering Villages
