There seems to be a new sea alien, a couple of new land aliens and a new amphibious colossal alien. The aliens in Beyond Earth were rather simple in their composition, so adding this biodiversity helps immensely. The oceans are also teaming with new sorts of life and alien nests. It should be mentioned that they look similar to the city in Stargate Atlantis, but that’s fine because that city looked really cool. The aquatic cities do look great, though, especially on the menu screen.

Frankly, the underwater cities in the Call to Power series would be preferable because you could build underwater magrail networks which could highly alter the relative geography of the planet. It’s also unclear how city connections between aquatic cities are maintained it seems as though none of the ocean cities are connected to the trade network, although this may have been the design choice. You don’t seem to be able to queue city moves which becomes problematic when you reach the stage in the game when you have large numbers of cities. As you move further out, you move out of range of your developed tiles and can end up with stagnant cities unless you purchase and develop the tiles ahead of time, thus circumventing the point of moving to acquire tiles. The other problem is managing the city’s resources during this process. The strategy of moving large cities out and building new cities near where they used to be proves difficult because it requires lots of moves which each take multiple turns and you move your city through production which means that it might not be doing anything useful for 10-25 turns while it moves just a few spaces.

As it is now, I just end up mostly buying tiles around floating cities because it would take a lot of moves to claim the full area around them. While the move city mechanic is successful in theory, it would be better if you could, say, use military units or workers to claim tiles within two tiles of your city. Even better, aquatic cities function differently than land based cities.Īquatic cities have some different buildings and acquire tiles by moving around the ocean. This effectively doubles the amount of the world that can be colonized and developed. The oceans now team with their own resources that look good, break up the monotony of the land tiles and feature new objects to explore. The oceans of Beyond Earth were barren places that only functioned as a barrier to colonization and location for the relatively two dimensional naval combat. It’s a must for those who love Beyond Earth and even worth trying for those who were indifferent, but makes two major mistakes.īefore delving into the most important thing this expansion does, fixing some of the things that were wrong with Beyond Earth, let’s talk about the ocean. Rising Tide focuses on ocean development, but adds a lot of additional depth while, unfortunately, removing other elements essential to a Civilization game. Stay away from this tittle, developers somehow managed to copy civ5 mechanics and create an uninteresting game to play.The long awaited expansion to Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth is finally here. It makes you wonder if there will be any normal AI opponents in next civilization installment or only asymmetrical enemies like aliens in this game. The funny thing is that devs didn't invest any resources in AI development instead they brought aliens as a nation which has unlimited resources and units to compete with player.

It can be somewhat compensated by huge bonuses on high difficulties, but it's never fun to play asymmetrical game. As in Civ 5, AI is just plainly stupid, non competitive. After some initial challenge with aliens you just stop caring, and pray for game to end, or just stop playing. I have 6 cities, should i build another one? Nah more micro every turn, besides it doesn't matter, because with every city techs cost more, also virtues cost more. Another turn oh i guess i'll build another +1 food building with generic name, oh i guess i agree to new worthless diplomatic treaty. The gameplay is slightly improved with this expansion, but remains generic, boring, without sense of progression, and devoid of any attachment to the colony or you neighbors. The gameplay is slightly improved with this expansion, but Do not trust the reviews, it's mediocre 4x game, with unbelievably bad AI.
