5 Reasons to be Excited for Civilization: Beyond Earth

October 16, 2014 by Wil Tjernberg

Here are five great reasons to play Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Affinities

Affinities are a new concept that tie into the tech web. These affinities represent certain post-human ideas, and what tech you choose to research will affect what affinity your faction will align with, and the other way around with affinity-locked technologies. The affinities are Purity for those who don’t want to adapt to a new planet and will use force to make it like Earth, Supremacy for those who believe that technology is the way forward and are willing to augment their bodies with machinery and Harmony for those who want to peacefully coexist with their new world and have their evolution influenced by it. This is a really cool idea, and will hopefully lead to some very odd-looking and cool units and factions, and maybe even spark some discussion between players about these ideas. Look forward to Supremacy’s mechs facing off against Harmony’s kaiju-like creatures.
