What are the science and culture sliders?
The science and culture sliders allow you to determine what percent of your cities’ commerce you would like to devote to science and culture. While the science slider is available from the beginning of the game, the culture slider only appears after you research Music. As you increase the science and culture sliders by 10% increments, the amount of gold in your cities that is being changed into beakers or happiness and culture will scale accordingly. Don’t forget that whatever commerce you don’t use up in the science or culture sliders will become gold.
