The Next Civilization Game - Civilization: Beyond Earth

A quick overview of the newly released information on Civilization Beyond Earth.

   

I want to start by saying I'm a huge Sid Meier's fan and I have played all the Civilization games from 1 to 5. I have been enjoying Civilization V since its release and I wasn't expecting another one so soon, even though it has been 4 years since the release of Civ V. Out of all the turn-based games I have played none have held my attention long, but Civilization games are always a rich gaming experience and are addicting every time. Well, enough of this talk about how much I love Sid Meier's and his games, lets get down to the awesome news! Sid Meier's and his studio Fraxis games has announced their latest title Civilization: Beyond Earth! Instead of going with their typical setting of starting from the beginning of time to the future, we now already start in the future where the Earth is dying and humans set out to have a fresh start in the stars. I love the idea you still get to build up your Civilization but it will be interesting to see what new ages mankind will go through. What new buildings? What kind of new planets? What kind of new units? So many questions, but we will have to wait patiently to have them answered.  

              

I can definitely say I am greatly awaiting this release already. I can't wait to see what new innovations have been made, and how this new setting and idea will work and unfold. This idea is very creative and a needed change for the series, but don't get me wrong, I love the classic starting from a stone age to a nano age but its always great to play something new and different. 

There is one thing that's really intriguing to me here, and that's there going to be playable Alien races? We do know there will be native Alien races, but how interesting would it be to play a Alien race? Another cool thing would be if it's possible to not just settle one planet but to be able to conquer other planet or galaxy, and start a galactic Civilization! The other major change is in how you start, and how Beyond Earth intends to be highly re-playable. Instead of just picking a nation to play and starting with a settler and a scout, you're starting conditions and bonuses will depend on which of the eight Earth organizations sponsored your expedition, what types of colonists you brought with you, the ship that transports you there, and the cargo you packed.
