The game keeps track of your promises too. Some civilizations feel that your rapid expansion near their territory is a cause for concern and they’ll warn you to stop. The civilizations can be both nice and hostile. Do you want energy (currency) each turn for their travel? Do you want rights to travel through their land as well? Do you even trust them to travel through your land? They could be setting up a siege to conquer your settlements. They will offer you tributes for the rights and you barter back and forth with them to make a deal happen. Since its your territory, other civilizations need to ask for your permission to travel freely through it. So you can connect your settlements into one big territory. As the population grows, so does the radius of tiles. When a new settlement forms, it controls a few tiles around it, making that your territory. It is best to have an armed escort go with them, since they aren’t meant for combat. Colonists can go out and make a new settlement as long as its three tiles away from any other settlement. Thankfully you can assign a worker to work on his own so you don’t need to control him. Its not all combat though, there are worker units that will gather resources and build things.
When you have a combat unit selected and hover your mouse over an enemy, you can see the likely outcome who will do more damage. Each unit has its own movement distance and you can set up a unit to move far away and it will get there over X amount of turns without you having to move it each and every turn.Įach unit has a wide array of commands, move, attack, explore, alert so they wake up if an enemy comes in range, fortify to heal themselves, and more. Melee units can only attack the tile next to them, while long ranged can attack up to two tiles away. The insects are there to grind and train your troops, to give them experience, get them leveled up with selectable perks for each level. There are combat troops, both melee and long range that can fight on land, water and air. It can be difficult to even get out of your cities to grow and thrive. They spawn from nests, attack your troops, and cities.
STEAM CIVILIZATION BEYOND EARTH FULL
No matter what randomly generated world you play, its a hostile one, full of insect aliens that will oppress you. The real hurdle for me was the game crashing every time after the opening cinematic. They still manage to put in all Earth’s nations into this game without any sort of alien races. The previous Civilizations made good use of historic characters, but this game lacks those characters and that personality. However, it still feels like a good fresh science fiction version of the game. It looks like plenty of people are complaining that this is too similar of a game to Civilization 5, and they’re right. Its all streamlined so you don’t have to hunt for the next city or unit to move, you’ll already have them selected. During your turn you’ll also pick a technology to research that results in new facilities that can get unlocked to build in your settlements. With each settlement, you select a unit or facility that will then be complete after X amount of turns.
You start with a home settlement that increases in size over time. When all your units have taken a turn, you let the next civilization have its turn. This is a turn based strategy game on a hexagonal grid. You get thrown into a world where you rule a civilization and compete, barter, go to war with and befriend other civilizations on your way to conquer the world. Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth is much like the previous Civilization 5.
