Start the game by building a “monument”, This mod for Civilization 5 might have been entitled: Civilization: Space Caravan Management before it was given to a group of energetic marketing people to hype up before release. So, it can be like Mass Effect all over again.This mod for Civilization 5 might have been entitled: Civilization: Space Caravan Management before it was given to a group of energetic marketing people to hype up before release. It will be interesting to see what types of scenarios Firaxis can develop – will we see a space colonization race much like the journey to the New World in Civ V? Or perhaps we can have a cultural victory over the aliens. Combine that with their research into actual modern science (which seems to be blurring those lines, lately) and we have a background for the game that will seem both plausible and fantastical. With research based on reading the works of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein (among others) it seems that the game will be solidly rooted in science fiction cannon. It’s been a real pleasure to read all of the written work by members of the team. We have a lot of sci-fi fans on staff as well as lots of talented writers. It was also great fun for us to create fiction. We wanted to provide information to the player that explains what exactly these new things are about. So what sort of things can we look forward to?Įverything is new in Beyond Earth including new technologies, aliens, and resources just to name a few. Of course, there’s a lot more leeway seeing as its based on the future instead of the past.

Playing through the game will provide a lot of insight as to what the event could be, but we don’t outright say what happened. We want them to discover the backstory by playing through the game and using their imagination.
The Great Mistake is a mysterious event that is partly interpretive to the player. There has to be a stick to go with this carrot, and we’re aware that there was a ‘Great Mistake’ that spurred these voyages on – so what was the mistake? In a Q&A over on the 2K blog, the developers explain that Civilization: Beyond Earth takes place after the typical Civ game – some societies have flourished while others have floundered, but either way it’s time to focus on space and move on from Earth. Playing against Egypt? Sucks to be you, I’m building the pyramids first! The new Civilization will be taking us into the future, and into space – so how does lore figure into things? I love stealing World Wonders in Civilization.
