t’s not enough to build a city, you must build a
city well. Ratings are a measure of how good a city
is, and all cities are rated in four areas: Culture,
Prosperity, Monuments built and Kingdom service.
Building monuments is usually the biggest challenge,
but sometimes your city must also attain certain rat-
ings to win a mission. These goals are specified in mis-
sion briefings.

Your Ratings Overseer (see page 199) keeps track of the
city’s current ratings and provides advice on how to
improve them. Visit him often to see how your city is
doing.
Your Ratings Overseer uses both numbers and
columns to display ratings. The numbers are the city’s
actual ratings, and the columns show how far along
you are to meeting the goals set out for your city in
the Mission Briefing. If the column is capped, then
you have met this goal.

The Culture Rating measures how many entertain-
ment, education, health and religion buildings your
city has against how many citizens live in the city. The
more citizens your city has, the more of each kind of
structure your city will need to maintain a high
Culture Rating.
The best way to boost a city’s Culture Rating is to
make sure it has more than enough entertainment,

The Apothecary does not
affect the city’s Culture
Rating. The Physician’s

city’s Culture Rating.
