Not much difference there.) Similar buildings share similar descriptive words as well. The only thing indicating that a building is a wonder is the smooth circle surrounding it.(Instead of a circle with points, which indicates a normal building.I can't tell what your weird combination of arrows and squiggles is supposed to stand for as an armored troop.) (I can tell what an archer is with a tiny picture or what the Hoover Dam looks like with just a glance. When pictures were used in the older games, they were immediately identifiable. This game tries to use bright colors to create a more futuristic feel, but it also uses such a small palette that everything feels the same.While we are used to it from previous installments of Civilization, there are two things lacking from the icons: The disappointing part about the tech web is the use of iconography. You could master your income by researching and building every power plant option in the game. There is a different kind of power plant (gains you energy) nearly every direction you go down the web. You don't have to build the first health improvement before you move to the second one anymore. The problem with that is there are different versions of the same concepts littered all over the tech tree. If not, skip it, move on to something you do want. The advantage is that you can choose if researching the equivalent of a granary is even worth it to you. There are "leaf" technologies that don't lead to anything new and sometimes have insignificant effects. In fact, you aren't expected to get through half the technology before the game is over.
You aren't required to research every tech along the way to a victory. I feel sorry for the colorblind trying to play this game. Technology changes just a little, but becomes incredibly confusing.
Production, city management, combat and culture remain largely the same. Happiness becomes health, and gold becomes energy. Most of that curve was learning all the new terms that replaced ones from previous titles. I have played nearly every game in the Civilization franchise and there was still a learning curve for this game. This fixed one of the negatives that impacted my final score for this game.

Note: Since this review a patch has been made to highlight wonders and buildings differently in the tech web to be seen more easily.
2440x1440 civilization beyond earth upgrade#
One option for your ship upgrade at the start of the game is the "Retrograde Thrusters" that expand the options for where you can land your ship. If any of these spaces are occupied by water, mountains, or canyons, you lose landing options. You are given the option of landing your colony ship in a seven-hex space that will be your city center. These choices can be made to magnify one strength or balance your colony for several possible situations.īeyond Earth removes the age-old problem from previous Civilization games, where you have to decide if losing a turn at the start of the game is worth moving your settler. With these options, you can have a civilization that starts the game with faster workers and a worker unit already ready to go, or a civilization with extra trade routes and the ability to get a trade depot out quickly. Instead of choosing a civilization with pre-set abilities, you will get to choose a sponsor, the prominent type of colonists on your ship, an upgrade aboard the ship, and a specific cargo you bring along for the trip. Without knowing much about the game, you will be given several choices on starting abilities. If you choose to set up a game, you will be given the choices of map type and size, length of game, and difficulty. You can jump right in with "Play Now" and not worry about all the major choices provided to you in setting up your colony. The choices for starting the game are typical for a Civilization game at first. (Which will save you from suffering through the choppy mess that was Civilization V's opening.) It does mean that you will have to wait through a launch screen while the game loads, but you can still skip the movie.
A huge improvement over Civilization V is that the game doesn't try to load the game behind the cinematic, making both the intro and the game much smoother. This initial cutscene actually has a short story that leaves you with a sense of dread for what the human race had to do leaving earth. When you first open Beyond Earth, you are treated to the usual cinematic intro that graces every game in the franchise.
