Civilization: Beyond Earth | Screenshots

Civilization: Beyond Earth game is what some call the next Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It is a turn based strategy game, with civilization 5 engine, cool graphic and a lot of system requirements. I had to put another windows 7 OS just to try this game. Like all Sid Meier's creations, its cool. There is just two things, which should have made the game more exciting. First, a staged world exploration - now, the whole world may be explored in the early stage, leaving no place for slow development.  Second, unit usage - now the most usable units are the jet crafts and fast trucks, which are available almost from the beginning.  And lastly, but most importantly - there is no alien race! Hope it will appear in future updates. Overall, the game offers some nice concepts, reviewed in the following screenshots:

Civilization: Beyond Earth | The Aliens Screenshot

There are the alien live forms in Civilization: Beyond Earth. The green icons represent an alien unit. They are in small, medium and very big sizes. They have melee, ranged and flying units, as well as 3 naval units. In general they will not attack, unless we attack them first. It is challenging to keep the aliens around as they are getting on the way of army and constructors. But they can be a good shield in early wars. In time they can even become friendly, and their color will change to blue. Also later they can be captured. The aliens roam around their nests (l) .
