To achieve a Contact victory, we need to build the Beacon. When the Beacon is selected, a button will appear in the bottom left. Clicking it will begin a counter to victory, but will consume all energy income. So from there on, no unit and building purchases are available. Here on the screen, there is one turn to victory. Cheers to the winner! :)

Civilization: Beyond Earth | Water City Screenshot

Available in Rising Tides expansion, now water towns can be built in Civilization: Beyond Earth. This makes the rush for space insignificant, as there is a lot of water around. Also the AIs in civ BE, do not expand as aggressively, as those in previous civs. The water towns are quite exciting, they have specific buildings and act differently.

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) .

When combined in set of 3, they will give some extraordinary reward, like some bonus building with no maintenance, like the Drone Command. Or some full empire benefit, like stronger units, cover ops, or city benefits. The patience is the key, gather as many artifacts and make different combinations to see the rewards.
