| Next Big Game? We shall see |
Whether you are battling super alien worms or battling other civilizations, you always get yourself into trouble. That is the Russell newbie 100% guarantee. Of course I am playing on the hardest difficulty ( Apollo ) so do not expect me to win any victories because before I reach any of those victories I get destroyed by other civilizations or a damn siege worm. Before I start on this post, I wanna warn you, it might contain some stupid scenes that no human has been before.
If you wanna know what Civ: Beyond Earth is, it is basically a turn based strategy simulation game where you take control of a faction and live on a new world facing both other rival factions and aliens. For first timers this will look pretty hard but once you advance to the mid-game you will find aliens very easy to kill ( Except for that siege worm and kraken )
First of all, you need to select your sponsor A.K.A country that will fund you into space. During those times the government is busy dealing with India ( Gandhi super nuclear weapons ) But of course, the KP is basically India so I recommend staying away from her ( I think she is Gandhi's daughter ) So during then, they need those big companies ( ARC is basically Google in disguise ) to send people into space. After that you need to select a spacecraft, cargo, planet, colonist. All will give you different perks and will effect your play style. But ultimately, the thing that effects your play style the most is the affinities. Affinities are basically ideologies that will advance your civ to another kind of human. You may like to merge with the alien world so you go with Harmony. You may also like to use tech and crush the world with an iron fist ( I used this but failed ) or you may wanna change the world to Earth 2. It all depends to you.
To win the game, you need to accomplish at least one of the few victories. Domination means you win by destroying every capital of other civs. The Promised Land is teleporting Earthlings into the new world and settling them. Contact is a victory where you establish contact with another alien civilization that settled here a long time ago but did not survive. Emancipation is teleporting your units back to Earth to liberate them from their weaknesses. Transcendence is connecting the human consciousness to the alien world
When you make planetfall into the new planet. You will be given an explorer unit to roam around the new world. They may be resource pods, which gives you a solar collector, energy, science or culture. Your explorer may also conduct an expedition if you are on a artifact of some kind. Which when completed will grant you a boost of some kind.
The alien world is surrounded in miasma, a toxic gas which kills your troops and heals aliens. But if you go with the Harmony Affinity your troops will actually heal from miasma so you might wanna think clearly if miasma is friend or foe. Aliens also kind of act as miasma. They kill your troops but if you use Harmony they might actually help you in destroying your rivals' cities.
If you are an civ 5 player ( like me ), you will find the game not that much different from civ 5. I think that it is actually a reskin or DLC of civ 5 and I think it really isn't worth the money to buy it right now. But if you never played the civ series and you wanna jump on in, I think you should do it. Overall, this game has a score of : ?/100
TO BE CONTINUED.......
Reason why I do this: I really dislike writing for very long periods so I do this so you guys won't get bored. I hope you will like this but if you don't leave a comment so I will stop it.
