Introduction

Three Civilization superfans, Loleil, TwoTailedFox, and Becer, recently spent a week at the Wikia HQ in San Francisco, hunkering down and playing through Civilization: Beyond Earth weeks before its official release. They familiarized themselves with the game's systems, built strategies for success, and worked very hard on this Super Walkthrough, which is meant to help players excel in the game. Check out the adjacent "Meet the Superfans" video to learn more about your new Civilization: Beyond Earth advisors!

    Strategies

     

    LAUNCH CONDITIONS

     

    EXPLORATION

    AFFINITIES

     

    SECURITY
    Affinities are the three main ways that your civilization will stand out; the Affinity that you have the most XP in will be the one your opponents react to. The Harmony Affinity is about taking the Human genome, and strengthening it with alien DNA from the planet, and adapting with the planet to call it "home". Read More > The first threat to your security upon making planetfall are aliens. Use your starting units to determine how much alien activity there is in your vicinity. If aliens are found to be a problem and often surround your city research Ecology so that you can build Hypersonic Fencess around your city. Read More >


     

    TECH WEB

     

    ORBITAL LAYER
    The Tech Web is a new way of looking at Research within the game, but to get the most out of it, the Tech Web does require a little bit of advance planning, especially if you want to take advantage of building Wonders, or if you are aiming to get XP for a single Affinity quickly in order to achieve an Affinity Victory. Read More > The orbital layer allows you to take to the skies by deploying satellites. These satellites are for some powerful bonuses, but they can be built just like regular units. They offer very powerful bonuses to your offense, your defense, and your economy depending on which sort of satellite you've launched. Read More >


     

    SETTLEMENT TROUBLESHOOTING

     

    QUESTS
    Is your Civilization infested with aliens? Are your troops losing health due to miasma? Are those other sponsors giving you grief? The cure to what ails you is probably in this video, which highlights a variety of solutions to settlement issues. Read More > A "new" feature in Civilization: Beyond Earth is the Quest-system. The 5 main overarching quests of the game are the 5 victory quests. More quests appear throughout the game as your civilization explores and adapts to their new world. Read More >
