Native flora and fauna have natural defenses in a similar fashion to Alpha Centauri, in that they can be pacified by how well you treat the environment. Explorers have a limited number of expedition modules which can uncover artifacts and unique resources, including those from fallen satellites and alien nests.

ExplorationĪs with any turn-based strategy game, the fog of war must be penetrated in order to expand an empire. These satellites will eventually fall from orbit and the video paints a picture that this will be a common occurrence. Similar to Alpha Centauri, Beyond Earth includes satellites and an orbital layer that provide additional benefits to the player. Alpha Centauri used energy as its in-game economy engine, and with the exclusion of "gold" from these categories, it is highly probable that energy will function in the same manner as it did in Alpha Centauri and as gold functioned in every other Civilization game. It would make little sense to actually require players to spend time on Earth constructing their spaceship, considering that is what Civilization V was supposed to accomplish.įood, production, culture and science are all familiar aspects to Civilization fans, but the inclusion of energy is a curious one indeed. It is presumed that the production of the ship, choice of a sponsor, cargo, and colonists is accomplished in the game setup before the player's first turn. Fungal might serve as a way to harness the latent power of the new planet and build energy, but that is my guess only. There are three tile types (lush, arid, fungal) in addition to danger tiles (i.e. poisonous miasma) which can kill units that end their turn on these locations. The game tiles are of no surprise, as one would imagine lush tiles are good for food resources and arid for production. Upon making planetfall, we enter the Civ formula and players must prioritize between food, production, culture, science, and energy. When Civilization: Beyond Earth begins, players choose a sponsor (eight total to choose from), cargo, and colonists, then construct and launch their ship.
#Civilization v trailer series
The video begins with a general overview of the series to date and informs upon what to expect from Civilization: Beyond Earth. Earth is now highly polluted after narrowly escaping humanity's dark age called "The Great Mistake." Nuclear war perhaps? The core gameplay still revolves around Civ V's hex tile system but this time around, human explorers will colonize "alien worlds." The last point is what stands out since " Alpha Centauri only had one "Planet" to colonize.
