Changes: Tech Web (CivBE)

Revision as of 19:43, 22 October 2014

The Tech Web is a feature in Civilization: Beyond Earth, previously introduced in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Unlike previous Civilization games which featured linear tech trees, the tech web branches off in several directions.

Tree Analysis

In Civilization V, icons in each technology node are ordered from left to right: Units, City Buildings, Wonders, Revealed Resources, Tile Improvements, Abilities, Projects. Beyond Earth appears to preserve this order, with the addition of a +Affinity Points type, which appears to the left of Units.

Unit icons are monochrome and borderless. Building icons have an octagonal border, and Wonder icons have a crescent border. Abilities appear as a star in a circle. Resource icons appear in color in a dark circle. Tile improvements appear borderless, but grayer than units.

In Beyond Earth the techs are structured as a web, thus replacing the tree-structure of earlier civ games. Additionally each tech-section is divided into 2 ranks:
