Before you can enter into a cultural goods treaty you have to research Cultural Exchange (Science) and must have at least one museum. Now you can enter into a cultural goods treaty with any other player as long as their also have a museum. For each treaty you receive one cultural good that you can exhibit in your museum. Every exhibit increases the satisfaction level of the citizens in your town.

Tip: You can only enter into as many cultural goods treaties as the museum expansion stage. Multiple museums on different colonies will be added. Furthermore you can only exhibit as many cultural goods in your museum as the number of expansion stages for that museum.


in order to get +1 cultural good, you have to send a treaty: click diplomacy on person you wish, then drop down menu 'cultural goods'... if the other player accepts you both gain +1 cultural good.

How do we add more cutural treaties once it's "full"? I have expanded my museums, embassies, and townhalls with limited results. It seems pretty hit and miss. When I go to trety drop down, cutural assets is not an option??

it doesnt depend on other buildings except the museum.
you can invite someone to a cultural treaty only if you have a cultural good available. that meens that if you upgraded one level, you can invite one player. if you are full you cant invite anymore (that's why you dont have the "cultural treaty" option in the drop down menu to a message).

Hy guys....
I still got some slots open for cultural treaties if you're interested.....
Actually quite a few....
If anyone's looking for one just send me an ingame message.....

You can actually be a little sneaky and have a few "extra" cultural treaties accepted. For example, I have 54 cultural treaties, but only enough room for 52 treaties, so I have 2 spare ones.

The only way to offer a treaty when you don't have space is to click on another player when you are in the island view and then send a cultural treaty offer. You can still accept treaties that other people offer you too, they will just be extras. I like to keep a few spare in case a player stops playing or gets banned. At one stage I had 62 treaties.. so I have already lost 8 people!
