Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game)	comment	Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a spinoff of the Civilization franchise which was released on October 24, 2014. It is a Spiritual Successor to another Civ spinoff, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.Sometime in the near future, Earth is ravaged by a social and ecological cataclysm known as the Great Mistake, which knocks humanity back into a new Dark Age. The disaster forces different nations to unite into new geopolitical entities to undo the damage. Humanity manages to pull through and stabilize the world again, but with Earth running low on resources and habitable land, governments and corporations begin searching for a new world to colonize. You play as the leader of one of these colony expeditions, backed by one of 8 factions: American Reclamation Corporation: Led by Suzanne Marjorie Fielding. Brasilia: Led by Rejinaldo Leonardo Pedro Bolivar de Alencar-Araripe. Franco-Iberia: Led by Ã‰lodie. Kavithan Protectorate: Led by Kavitha Thakur. Pan-Asian Cooperative: Led by Daoming Sochua. People's African Union: Led by Samatar Jama Barre. Polystralia: Led by Hutama. Slavic Federation: Led by Vadim Petrovich Kozlov.The Rising Tide expansion pack adds four new factions: Al-Falah: Led by Arshia Kishk. North Sea Alliance: Led by Duncan Hughes. INTEGR: Led by Lena Ebner. Chungsu: Led by Han Jae Moon.As you land on the planet and combat the alien wildlife and other colony expeditions, your colony can take one of three techno-philosophical ideologies or "affinities": Harmony: Followers of Harmony believe that mankind needs to adapt itself to this new world in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes humanity made on Earth. Colonies which follow the Harmony affinity have an easier time through the harsh alien landscape, can genetically modify their soldiers, and can eventually control and breed alien lifeforms. Supremacy: Followers of Supremacy believe that humanity needs to become independent of its environment and that technological advancement will be the salvation of mankind. Colonies which follow the Supremacy affinity can build robots and artificial intelligences and will eventually start to leave their biological forms behind. Purity: Followers of Purity believe that humanity's future is linked to its past and mankind needs to reshape its environment to better meet its needs, rather than reshaping itself to meet its environment. They largely reject the transhumanism of Harmony and Supremacy (though they embrace limited modification, such as genefixing to avoid genetic disease), but compensate for both with big guns and artillery. Colonies which follow the Purity affinity specialize in defense and can eventually build floating fortresses.With Beyond Earth: Rising Tide there is also a distinct emphasis on hybrid affinities as well. Not simply cross-classing, the new hybridized affinities come with their own unique units and own unique aesthetic for the upgrades of the base units. Supremacy-Purity: A clear caste system of human as master and robots as slave. They have a clean, white porcelain-doll aesthetic. They seek less in the way of the ways of pure supremacy, for they don't use A.I. or extensive cybernetics. The delineation of human and tool is ever present. They are the purest expression of the humanity-as-tool-user mentality. Purity-Harmony: Less focused on becoming one with the environment and more focused on becoming one with humanity's genetic destiny, Harmony-Purity seeks to create a biological perfection in humanity as it exists. For example, the first unique unit the Immortal is a lithe seven-foot tall human with weapons and armor grafted into its being. Their aesthetic focuses less on the classic allusions of purity and looks even more focused on an idealized fusion of classical and ethereally futuristic. Harmony-Supremacy: Described by the developers as "Power through any means" this affinity hybrid seeks to use the best of both of the transhuman affinities. Their units are some of the most surreal and alien. Their ultimate unique unit is a flying aircraft carrier that looks like the cross between a space whale and the helicarrier. They are a cyborg in perhaps the purest sense, and it's often difficult to tell where the organic being ends and the machine begins.Also diverging from the previous Civilization games, Victories are delivered via a quest system; each colony expedition gets four victory quests at the beginning of the game and is told step-by-step what is needed to accomplish them. Three are tailored to the affinities and the fourth is one that anybody can do. They are: Transcendence Victory (Harmony victory): Based on the Alpha Centauri plot of the same name. The player discovers that the planet is a living being and find a way to communicate with it and eventually integrate themselves into its consciousness. Requires time and defense of your cities as you build a lot of wonders that link you to the planet over time, with more time being shaved off for more Mind Stem wonders in cities. Promised Land Victory (Purity victory): The player re-establishes communication with Earth, builds a warp gate to link the two planets and then proceeds to bring in a massive amount of defenseless colonists who must be put in their own cities you must protect. Emancipation Victory (Supremacy victory): Similar to Promised Land, but instead of bringing in more troops and colonists from Earth, the player sends their military forces through the warp gate to conquer Earth and bring it in-line with their faction (you effectively need to make, and then sacrifice, huge numbers of your most powerful troops). Contact Victory (General victory): The player makes contact, and allies, with an alien race. This takes time and burns up your entire energy supply once activated, with a faster victory condition the more energy your civilization outputs, making it the closest to an "economic" victory. Domination Victory (General victory): Unlike the other victories, this one doesn't have a quest chain associated with it. Like previous Civilization games, conquering every other human faction on the planet will win you the game. Unlike previous Civilization games, you need only capture all your opponents' starting cities (players can't redesignate other cities to be their capital).On May 18, 2015, Firaxis announced an expansion pack for Beyond Earth entitled Rising Tide. As the name suggests, it introduced additional naval and oceanic options to the game, including oceanic settlements and new units. Released on October 9th, 2015, new colony factions were added, hybrid affinities implemented, different planetary types have more than cosmetic effects, and the diplomacy system was completely overhauled.In addition, a sequel/Gaiden Game, Sid Meier's Starships, was released on March 12th, 2015. Playthroughs allowed unlocks of additional map types, units, and starting loadouts for Beyond Earth.There's also a Hearts of Iron IV mod heavily inspired by the game, HOI 4 Beyond Earth, which also incorporates elements of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

Chungsu, one of the factions introduced in the Rising Tide DLC, is Korean-based and its Civilopedia article mentions that Japan has become an economic dependent of Korea in the wake of the Great Mistake.

In either case it's pretty explicitly said that the Earth's environment was fucked up (with several animals implied to be extinct) and resources were running out, to the point that there was talk of an "Inflection Point" where the Earth would no longer be able to pull off The Seeding, hence why the sponsors rushed to make it happen. There are also references to Earth's atmosphere starting to be outright unbreathable in certain places.

And Siege Worms and Krakens can take on Tier 3 units and win. There are also many alien units across the map and it will be a long time before you can build units in comparable numbers. Miasma blankets the land degrading and killing your units; it will take time to research and build Miasmic Repulsors or start going down the Harmony path where it becomes beneficial. It's also possible, through no fault of your own, to place your starting city just a little too close to an unseen alien nest, resulting in constant attacks from threatened alien units that keep respawning. If this occurs, it can be impossible to recover from the slow start, even if you manage to survive the constant onslaught.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_17058a90	comment	No Biochemical Barriers: Played straight, with complications: the planet's flora and fauna is very different from Earth's, yet still compatible with human biology. As such, there are potential crops such as alien fruits and tubers that can be harvested to feed the settlers. The real problem is that the planet's untamed ecosystem is instinctively hostile to the invasive humans. How you decide to overcome it is determined by which affinity you side with. With Harmony, you adapt your citizens genetically to the planet. With Supremacy, you go the cyborg route. With Purity, you just bulldoze the native life and replace them with species from Earth.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_19944e8f	comment	Terraform: The Terrascape tile improvement unlocked by the Terraforming technology turns the tile more Earth-like and allows the cultivation of Earth-descended flora. While leaning more towards Purity's philosophy, this can be carried out by any faction regardless of their dominant affinity. However, for a bit of realism, such an improvement requires a large investment of resources (in the form of energy) to maintain, presumably because the native environment would quickly reclaim the territory without maintenance.

Either type qualifies if they're the aggressor of a war with a different affinity. In-universe, Supremacy and Harmony victories are decried as such by rivals of different affinity, and alternate affinities will always fear this.

Writings from post-Mistake Earth lament that prior generations had squandered the planet's reserve of hydrocarbons and there did not remain enough to use in new technologies. In Rising Tide, it's explained that the collapse of the oil industry lead to most of the Middle East collapsing, and while they were able to send the Al Falah expedition they had to make do with more primitive and less reliable technology than the rest of the world.

If the messages are ignored, then Intrigue continues to increase, leading to increasingly more devastating actions that the Spy can take. Countering rising Intrigue is relatively easy (assign one of your own Spies to the city), meaning that getting to Intrigue 5 is only really possible if the player of that civ isn't paying attention. Alternatively, the player can simply build a certain structure in each city that prevents intrigue levels from rising beyond 2, meaning the enemy spy can only perform low-level activities.

Their breeding cycle often outstrips the size of their nest and their environment's ability to support their population, at which point The Swarm becomes increasingly aggressive and lashes out in a Zerg Rush against other lifeforms until their population is brought back down the manageable. Between this and their ability to match human soldiers in combat, it didn't take long for certain Harmony colonies to take an interest in breeding and training them as expendable shock troops.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_3c0a4666	comment	Noodle Incident: The Great Mistake- the apocalyptic event that kicks off the entire plot of Beyond Earth- is only vaguely alluded to in background material. Various Civlopedia articles offer more details about just what went wrong, although overall it's still rather vague. Some of its side effects included the desertification of the American Midwest and severe global warming flooding low-lying Pacific countries. The developers have explicitly stated that they deliberately left the details vague, so that the player can invent their own backstory. One scientific flavor text hints at a conflict involving Pakistan getting out of hand due to poor leadership, and other evidence seems to hint at a nuclear war or something similar causing an ecological disaster and causing or accelerating climate change. A nuclear war would also explain the absence of significant research into nuclear power or weapons. This seems to be the exact case, as the Civilopedia entry in Rising Tide for Al Falah explicitly mentions the ecological obliteration of the Fertile Crescent and traditional centers of Arabian and Islamic culture in general.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Farms start off like their Civ V counterparts, providing only one extra food on any given tile. In the early game, they're largely outclassed by Generators, and in the midgame, Biowells can easily take their role. That is, however, until you start researching Purity technologies that boost Farms; Vertical Farming grants every Farm extra food and energy, turning them into miniature generators, the Ectogenesis Pod wonder can potentially boost their food production again, Industrial Ecology adds one production, and Artifical Evolution caps it off with extra science. On flood plains, fully maxed-out farms will provide five food, three energy, one production, and one science, turning them into some of the strongest and most versatile tiles in the game, rivaling Terrascapes in their utility without any of the maintenance cost. Early game basic combat units, which are automatically upgraded as a colony advances along an affinity. At certain set points along that affinity, the player is given a choice of upgrades to pick for the unit, and their production cost is slightly increased. By late game, they have specialized depending on the player's affinity choices and can be extremely powerful, and unlike Affinity-dependent units unlocked by specific technologies they have no strategic resource cost, allowing them to be easily spammed to overwhelm the enemy at any stage of the game. Non-resource unimproved tiles. While this should go without saying (because any improvement increases their output) actually holding off on improving them until later down the Tech Web can increase their overall benefit if a city can go without the improvements for a while. The Weather Controller satellite and Orbital Fabricator satellite will generate new basic and strategic resources (respectively) under their area of effect across the course of their lifetime, but only on unimproved tiles. Thus a colony that might have fallen behind because they did not build out their infrastructure in the early game might find themselves turning into resource-rich powerhouses in the late game if they employ the proper orbital units. Al-Falah in Rising Tide. Their faction bonus is increased conversion rate for switching a city's production to energy, food, science and culture. Not so useful early game when you need to build new units and structures continuously in order to expand. But by mid-game, when you got a few cities with fifty-plus production per turn that you can spare, well that is a different story. With a production conversation rate of sixty-three percent (more if upgraded) simply switching a couple of cities to produce science could easily double or triple your scientific output. The same thing if you run into money trouble, switch a city to energy-production and your per turn loss will become a per turn profit.

Harmony-allied sponsors can take a page out of their playbook with the Xeno Swarm - a unit that can be quickly produced and can be upgraded to damage enemies when it's killed, encouraging the player to manufacture as many as possible and send them straight for the nearest enemy. This can be a bigger problem in Rising Tide, with the increased variety (and power!) of alien flora, and the presence of nests on water tiles that will happily spawn Rippers, Sea Dragons, and Kraken in close proximity to coastal and oceanic cities. In general the Zerg Rush is favored by Supremacy players, due to the way they gain many bonuses for being next to each other, representing tactical uplinks and individual units sharing battlefield information between each other (in contrast, Harmony units often are strongest when isolated). The strategy of the Harmony Xeno Swarm in a nutshell. Two handlers and a horde of expendable alien bugs. Harmony in general tends towards a We Have Reserves mentality thanks to their cheaply-made units, lack of reliable ranged attackers, and abilities that reward not keeping your forces in formation.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_4612ec70	comment	No Transhumanism Allowed: Trademark of the Purity affinity, which rejects the cybernetics of Supremacy and the rampant genetic engineering of Harmony. To compensate for the lack of biological/technical perks, they use big artillery and floating fortresses to isolate themselves. That said, developers have confirmed that they are not opposed to using genetic engineering to wipe out disease and birth defects or for improving base-line human capabilities and traits, since their belief is in an ideal humanity. Actually played straighter by the Purity-Supremacy hybrid affinity. The faction is ideologically opposed to any kind of human/machine hybridization or development of advanced artificial intelligence, instead adopting a clear master/slave relationship with drones and robots, basically celebrating the tool-using aspect of humanity. Completely discarded by Purity-Harmony, which seeks to perfect the ideal human form.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_4832a3bb	comment	Always Chaotic Evil: Starts off being subverted, since unlike the barbarians of Civ V, the aliens will typically ignore players unless they're attacked or someone gets within 2 tiles of a nest. However, if continually provoked, alien species will view all of humanity this way, even if you're not the faction killing them. They will ease off over time if no one continues provoking them, however. Alien temperament is indicated by the color of their icons. If it's green, they will only attack if you get too close or threaten their nests. If orange, they'll be belligerent, attacking any wayward humans they find, but generally leaving well enough alone if left alone and going back to green. If it's red, they will seek out, attack, and destroy any human or human-built object with wild abandon, and they will not stop* It's almost impossible to go from red back to orange since you'll constantly be defending yourself.

A lesser version is a typical reward for excavating a skeleton, which simply gifts an alien unit under your control. Rising Tide allows Harmony Explorer units to "leash" wild alien units. Though the Explorer takes some damage, it is entirely possible to build up a force of Kraken, Sea Dragons, and Siege Worms under your direct control.

Unlike the Unity however, it's much more expansive, organized and diverse, with various countries (and one MegaCorp) sending their own colony ships instead of simply building one. It also simultaneously takes place on multiple worlds, as evidenced in the Sid Meier's Starships sequel. Emphasized for the Al Falah faction introduced in Rising Tide. The coalition of Middle Eastern countries that launched the Al Falah Seeding were among the first to leave Earth, even before the development of the cryogenic technologies other expeditions used. As a result, they were forced to launch a Generation Ship. Unlike every other faction, no one in the Al Falah faction has ever seen Earth.

The Harmony-Purity hybrid in Rising Tide also follows this but drops the "co-existing peacefully with the alien ecosystem" angle in favour of simply using very extensive genetic engineering to create a race of biologically "perfect" humans - Harmonal Purists have a very "ancient Greek god" aesthetic, their troops brimming with muscle and covered in bronze. The Harmony-Supremacy hybrid combines this with Cyberpunk, creating transhuman cyborgs that fuse machinery with alien flesh.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_4fc1a6c7	comment	No Points for Neutrality: With affinity instead of karma. You can choose to gain a balance of points between the three affinities and you do get the passive bonuses and unique productions associated with each one. However, most of your military units are upgradable based on the affinity you have the highest level in, which is far more crucial to any victory than those other things, even if going for a victory that isn't affinity-specific. Rising Tide aims to partially avert this with the introduction of Hybrid Affinities; with the devs already confirming that there will be new, powerful hybrid units that require a blend of different affinity levels to unlock. David McDonough has also said that the old units will get new expansions with the hybrid affinities. To just give one example of how hybrid affinities now work, Level 2 Purity gives you plus twenty-percent strength against aliens and Level 2 Harmony gives you the ability to send trade units through miasma but if you have both Harmony 2 and Purity 2 you get those bonuses in addition to a culture bonus per your levels of Harmony or Purity. However, there is a "bonus" for spreading out affinity: the ultimate units for each affinity have upgraded forms. If you've been spreading around your affinity, you won't be able to get the "True" form, which requires very high levels of the affinity, but you might have enough to get the "mixed" forms, which require relatively high levels of affinity and a generous amount in another. For example, the ultimate Supremacy unit, the ANGEL, is a giant walking robot of destruction. With enough points in Harmony affinity, you can upgrade it to the Evolved ANGEL, with a different set of bonuses from the purely Supremacy upgrade.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_63557923	comment	Death World: In the beginning of the game, the planet is largely inimical to human life, with a toxic atmosphere and hostile alien life. How exactly this problem is overcome varies by affinity- Purity attempts to rebuild the planet in Earth's image, Harmony re-engineers humans to blend into the planet, and Supremacy focuses on becoming independent from any one planet. The world the Augmented first landed on - although we don't ever see it, and we hear very little about it - was apparently even worse; they tried to adapt themselves a la a Supremacy civ, but were still eventually forced to abandon the planet anyway.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_66181568	comment	Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: Averted. The Kavithan Protectorate is an entire faction of religious pilgrims from the Indian subcontinent. It was formed when Raj Thakur managed to keep the various religious and ethnic groups together during The Great Mistake. His daughter, Kavitha Thakur, managed to keep them together for the 200 years after, or so they claim, and now serves as the leader of their Seeding expedition. Discovery quotes show that most religions, mythologies, and folk tales got updated for Interstellar travel and an alien planet. One wonder involves you yourself making a New Terran Myth. The backstory also averts this, given the references made to mosques and a New Vatican, as well as the presence of Russian Orthodox clergymen blessing the Slavic Federation ship in the opening movie. And apparently, Nikola Tesla has been sainted. Islam is also apparently alive and well among the new Al Falah faction in Rising Tide. One of the choices for the Xeno Sanctuary building implies that Harmony colonies develop a sort-of alien-centred animism, in a manner similar to Shintoism or many traditional African or Native American belief systems. The quotes and choices for Purity-aligned colonies suggest a heavily Catholic bent that increasingly becomes apparent in their efforts to memorialize Earth, with a bit of Carl Sagan thrown in for good measure. Supremacy's reliance on technology and cybernetics evolves into outright Machine Worship by the time you hit Level 10.

And in contrast to the Soviet Union of old, the Slavic Federation became famous for its engineering feats rather than military power, earning a reputation for "heroic infrastructure" and pioneering space program.

The same with the affinities; if you think about Purity, Harmony, and Supremacy, all have their good and bad points. It makes sense as all three ideologies stem from a sense of tragic loss - Harmony's environmentalist leanings are born out of a desire to not repeat the ecological destruction of the last Earth, Supremacy's pursuit of technological excellence stems from the anti-intellectual dark age of the post-Great Mistake world, and Purity's clinging to past Earth cultures is almost an identity crisis, a reaction to the loss of literally hundreds of years of cultural achievements. Black-and-Gray Morality: Harmony-Supremacy, however, is definitely agreed by everyone else as having gone too far in their wanton pursuit of power, and, fittingly, are a sinister purple-black color.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_7706dd0f	comment	Cosmetically Different Sides: Continues the trend in later Civilization games of gradually growing away from this. Each of the three affinities have different structures and victory conditions available to them. Their basic units gradually change as they diverge further and further apart (for example, compare the evolution of Harmony soldiers◊ with Supremacy troops◊ or Harmony mechanized units◊ with Purity tanks◊), not just in appearance, but also in abilities. Also, since only one of two upgrades can be chosen per unit level, even factions with the same affinity can have different capabilities for the same unit. Each affinity gets unique units. Supremacy has robotic units of various stripes, Harmony uses alien lifeforms as cavalry or genetically engineers and breeds new creations, and Purity has various types of hovering vehicles, including hovering battleships. Each sponsor has a unique set of advantages that can work with affinities and technologies in different ways. The Pan-Asian Cooperative for example, can take advantage of their efficient workers to create an expansionist, resource-grabbing Supremacy empire, or leverage their faster wonder production speeds as a scientific and cultural powerhouse under Purity.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_80874b5d	comment	Mechanical Abomination: Cynosure, the most powerful AI ever developed, resides in a monumental quantum supercomputer made of unsettling black slabs of crystal, attended by Operators who are trained to interface with it from childhood and are less technicians than a priesthood. Its cognition is universal in scope at minimum, and leaves traces which are detectable in electron interactions on distant planets, but its mind is alien and what it contemplates is unknown; it occasionally manipulates its society for apparently capricious reasons, and sometimes deigns to answer questions posed to it using the Operators to translate, usually in cryptic and indirect ways, which nevertheless result in a research bonus to the city in which it was built. If you ask Purity, then SupremacyÂ falls under this, having abandoned their flesh and soul to become Just a Machine. Of course, Supremacy disagrees.

They start out as guys in NASA space suits with guns, but by end game, they are either bio-armor wearing Half-Human Hybrids that heal by breathing in toxic spores (Harmony); genetically-augmented seven foot giants in Powered Armor (Purity); or more machine-than-man Cyborg shock troops (Supremacy). In Rising Tide, the hybrid affinities offer more options. In particular, the Purity-Harmony affinity brings biologically-optimized soldiers that are nigh-invulnerable thanks to their Healing Factor (the Immortals) and have augmented brains so advanced that their cognitive processes rival supercomputers (the Architects).

Gold is a useful basic resource, but it's not something to fight wars over as in previous Civilization game, as it only gives a minor boost to culture, industry, and energy.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_8aaa6f4f	comment	Civilization Customization: By and large this is the biggest point of Beyond Earth. Customization of your expedition is everything. Your choice of sponsor only affects one of many different things you pick when starting the game, it is entirely up to you to choose which direction your tech evolves in and that goes double for your cultural virtue choices. Almost every single non-wonder building in the game can be further customized by a quest choice that upgrades their function in one of two exclusive ways, and as your Purity/Harmony/Supremacy affinity goes up you can choose to customize your units with one of two abilities that are also mutually exclusive. No two factions will ever be the same, no two games will ever be the same. With Rising Tide, this is taken a step further during actual gameplay. The overhaul of the diplomatic system sees you earn diplomatic capital as a resource, which can then be spent on a diverse selection of traits under three broad categories of domestic, political, and military policy.

Some bugs are entirely passive and exist as local resources like cattle; you build a paddock around them and farm them for chitin or resilin. Played especially straight with the Purity faction, which is both the most space marine-like and the one that encourages fighting bugs the most. And so the ancient rivalry continues.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_aa596c58	comment	The War of Earthly Aggression: The Purity Promised Land Victory involves bringing in a bunch of new colonists from Earth that the player has to defend and settle into new territory; essentially claiming the planet for Earth. This is something that is guaranteed to piss off the Harmonists and Supremacists. And since you need land to accommodate these Earthly settlers, why not take theirs? The Supremacy Emancipation Victory is the inverse, the colonists go back to Earth to "emancipate" it, by force if necessary. Both can take on interesting new spins with the hybrid affinities, notably Purity-Harmony factions pursuing the Promised Land when the colonists have become Pro-Human Transhuman, and the staunchly anti-transhuman Purity-Supremacy factions being able to take the Emancipation victory.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_b1dcd2ee	comment	Flesh Versus Steel: The dynamic going on with Supremacy (which prefers cybernetics and robotics) and Harmony (which uses genetic engineering and controlling alien lifeforms). That said, Supremacists use some genetic engineering, while Harmonist leaders eventually gain mechanical "ports" in their head, showing that it's not a strict dichotomy. Rising Tide adds the hybrid affinities which further expand this dynamic. Purity-Harmony uses genetic engineering to unlock the full potential of humanity, creating superhuman shock troops and battlefield commanders whose brains can compete with supercomputers (putting them in complete opposition to pure Supremacy, which uses cybernetics instead of bioengineering). Purity-Supremacy, meanwhile, creates increasingly complex drone soldiers and robots to serve and protect humanity, putting them in conflict with pure Harmony, who use bioengineering. Supremacy-Harmony, on the other hand, go for both and create strange cybernetic organisms where it's hard to tell where the flesh ends and the machine begins.

In those cases, the Affinity level indicates how far the faction has diverged from the human baseline. Supremacy uses Cyborg enhancements, Artificial Intelligence, and eventual Brain Uploading to develop a civilization that can flourish irrespective of conditions on alien worlds. Its unique victory option returns to Earth to share its technology-born immortality in what might be a Benevolent Alien Invasion, an Assimilation Plot, or both. Harmony uses Bio-Augmentation and Genetic Adaptation to adapt to alien environments, ultimately becoming part of the alien ecosystem. Its unique victory option merges all life on the planet into a single transcendent consciousness. The Harmony-Purity hybrid Affinity believes that Humanity Is Superior and engineers Designer Babies in an attempt to refine the human race into an Ultimate Life Form. The Supremacy-Harmony hybrid Affinity uses both biological and technological enhancements so enthusiastically that it can become nigh-impossible to distinguish flesh from machine, never mind tell whether the organism was human to begin with.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79	type	A Commander Is You
Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79	comment	A Commander Is You: Purity: Brute Force. To quote David McDonough, "You don't need fancy tricks and gadgets, you just need to hit things really, really hard. That's the Purity attitude - overwhelming force". Purity units can learn a lot of powerful offensive or defensive perks (only one or the other, though), and Purity in general becomes very powerful at destroying alien life forms once you hit Affinity Level 3. The offensive Purity perks give them stuff like bonuses during attacks, extra movement points and bonus combat strength for every unused movement point (so if they're parked next to an enemy they will wallop it). The defensive ones make their defending units rock-solid and their cities almost impregnable. The Purity Victory requires you to escort twenty "settler" units to new cities on the map, and if there's not enough free space on the map you'll have to destroy enemy cities to make room, then protect them. Supremacy: Technical, Spammer. Many Supremacy units learn extremely powerful bonuses for flanking the enemy or being adjacent to a friendly unit. They also eventually get free roads for free energy between colonies and orbital coverage over every Firaxite deposit in the world, even ones in enemy territory. Because they focus upon grouping together they favor swarming tactics and their unique victory requires you to expend dozens of units from a large army by sending them all to Earth to "emancipate" it, so even if you're not using a large army to conquer the map you're on, you'll still need one. Harmony: Ranger, Guerrilla. Harmony troops are capable of healing and fighting better in the Miasma and utilize the planet itself in combat; are very good about using the terrain and using the map. Many Harmony units explode when they die or can become much more effective in miasma, and some can learn to completely ignore rough terrain for fast travel, while others can learn to become extremely powerful when isolated and not next to other friendly units, making them very nasty when striking out in many directions. Note that Harmony does not actually mean you need to play nice with the alien bug monsters (as of the most recent balance patch the bugs do not forgive Harmony players any faster) but it does mean you're more likely to survive fighting in their miasma-filled turf. The Harmony victory requires you to build a Mind Flower wonder and additional Mind Stems in other cities you've created so it's (somewhat) more defensive than the others. Harmony-Supremacy: Subversive, technical units such as a melee unit on land that is invisible until it strikes or troops that ignore rough terrain.

The developers say that they have found that in the beginning, fighting for survival against the alien world is usually enough to keep players focused. It also gives the game a real kind of frontier, man-versus-nature vibe. Eventually, though, the other expeditions will land and it becomes more of a traditional Civ land grab fest.

Suzanne Fielding and the American Reclamation Corporation bear a lot of similarities to Nwabudike Morgan and Morgan Industries. Though their factions specialty is espionage like the Data Angels. Commander Rejinaldo Leonardo Pedro Bolivar de Alencar-Araripe has characteristics of Colonel Corazon Santiago and bears a physical resemblance to Col. Miles Quaritch. The Pan-Asian Cooperative has the same gameplay mechanics and roughly same faction bonus as Egypt from Civ V. Vadim Kozlov is pretty much Yuri Gagarin, a fact lampshaded by the game lore itself. In fact, the achievement for winning the game as him is "Gagarin's Legacy". Hutama is in a sense what Nwabudike Morgan would be like had he been a student activist-turned-politician, with a charismatic personality to match. The North Sea Alliance is pretty much a naval version of Shoshone, and also hearkens back to the Nautilus Pirates from the Alpha Centauri Alien Crossfire expansion. INTEGR acts as the diplomatic faction similar to the UN Peacekeeping Forces in Alpha Centauri.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_e545e190	comment	Nerf: The Fall 2014 patch changed the bonus for Purity level 1 from Explorers not getting attacked by aliens to only having doubled strength against them. This is a great step down, because doubled strength against aliens is nowhere near enough if you accidentally encounter a well-defended alien nest. Rising Tide removes the Harmony level 1 bonus (Explorer immunity to Miasma), combining it with a later-tech bonus from the base game, and rendering both inaccessible until Harmony level 8, making it much harder to excavate ruins and crash sites. After all, you only have so much orbital coverage for those Miasmic Repulsor satellites. This may not seem like much, but considering excavations can yield scaling amounts of culture, science, energy, or a population increase, the loss of these bonuses becomes noticeable. Then, when you factor in that completing a dig will sometimes yield a piece of Old Earth, Progenitor, or Alien Life tech, and combining those items can grant access to powerful unique buildings and Wonders...

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_ec1f731c	type	Individuality Is Illegal
Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_ec1f731c	comment	Individuality Is Illegal: The Human Hive wonder (itself a Shout-Out to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri) implements this based on its description, though not necessarily in as forceful a manner as usually depicted. The kicker is that it does not even necessarily resort to transhuman alteration to do so, simply applied sociology and memetics, coupled with heavy indoctrination. The result is a society of humans who subsume their individuality to see themselves as simply units in a multi-person organism of humanity as a whole. It is a Hive Mind without actually needing a telepathic or electronic link, just many people operating with an identical will.

Spies are now able to give you 3-4 free military units at once by recruiting defectors from the enemy's army, flip enemy cities to your control, including their capital, and generally wreck the opponent's day.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_ee17f4d2	comment	Mobile City: Ocean cities in Rising Tide can slowly move to an unoccupied adjacent hex after a certain project is completed. You can't build anything while they are doing so and the bigger they are the slower they move. Still, nothing is stopping you from using them as mobile fortresses, shipyards, weapons factories and supply bases for your naval fleets and amphibious armies. There's even an achievement for crushing an enemy unit with an aquatic city's move function.

Also interesting to note that although the game takes place centuries after the end of the Cold War, much of the Slavic Federation is actually still more reminiscent of the Soviet Union than of modern Russia.

According to a dev blog these tanks move slowly, but they donâ€™t suffer from the same environmental move penalties of a typical ground unit and are capable of crossing the ocean. Amphibious invasions have never been easier.

The American Reclamation Corporation actually made its fortune by reclaiming flooded low-lying territory in North America, erecting sea-walls and draining the affected areas to create massive polders for settlement and cultivation. Their institutional experience with geo-engineering and settlement development is what leads them to being a playable faction.

Civilization: Beyond Earth (Video Game) / int_f5b974c6	comment	Superior Species: The Promethean, one of the wonders that can be built, is a race of genetically "optimized" humans. Things like dead-end evolutionary hold-over genetic material is removed, disease predisposition is eliminated, genes for intelligence, strength, and robustness are spliced in from different sources, etc. Promethean can interbreed with normal humans, and building the wonder leads to an increase in overall health levels in the colonies, but whether such a thing should even have been done in the first place is still debated in-universe. The Purity-Harmony affinity attempts to create the perfect human through a combination of genetic engineering and biological augmentation. Its unique units include the nigh-indestructible Immortals and the super-intelligent Architects.

To drive the point home, the more a faction adheres to Supremacy, the more their cities will turn dark, grey, and angular. Defied by Purity-Supremacy, which is opposed to any kind of cybernetic augmentation, with a clear master/slave relationship between humans and robots, and the aesthetic of the affinity is a sort of Post-Cyber iPunk. Supremacy-Harmony mix this with Bio Punk.

It is useful both for civic applications (exposing veins of useful material and allowing core sampling, boosting production of the city it is built in) and military applications (burying and disrupting incoming enemy forces, enhancing the defense rating of the city it is built in.) Smaller scale applications of the seismic induction technology are mentioned as being used in farming and mining applications.

Supremacy in particular has several units which are explicitly stated to be entirely robotic, though by the late game this distinction is at best academic. Purity-Supremacy players can deploy the Drone Cage, an armoured human trooper supported by a pair of remote-controlled drones.

Arms and Armor Theme Naming: Purity units are given names based on old-Earth military units, like Centurion or Dragoon. Additionally, Supremacy-unique units combine this with Fun with Acronyms, having names such as CARVR and SABR. Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Supremacy-Harmony hybrid units, including the Wrath, Fury, and Savage. Purity-Supremacy units favor references to royalty such as Baron and Countess, and allusions to the master-servant nature of the affinity: Golem and Maestro. Purity-Harmony unit names allude to idealism and perfection, including the Immortal and Champion, and to classical Antiquity, like Gladiator and Argo.
