It makes sense. The ships would get close to shore and send an exploration party or a boarding party composed of marines or sailors.

ARC is a bit of an oddball faction among the other factions because it's described as being a private company. All the other factions seem to be government established colonies like Slavic Federation or Polystrasia. I suppose Firaxis wanted ARC to resemble the British East India company in...

The funnies quote was from Suzanne Fielding of ARC. "Contact our lawyers" When she got angry at me :crazyeye: What are the ARC lawyers gonna do? Let's keep in mind the fact that this new alien planet is basically wild frontier, with frontier justice. And frontier justice, did not involve...

Well, last time I checked the name of the game in steam library is called "Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth." Specialists are hardly useful at all it seems. Especially growers, traders, engineers. ARtists and scientists seem to be more useful ones, because those values are more scarce in...

I agree that specialists should be buffed. What's the point of running specialist when specialist is worse than normal tile being worked? What's the purpose of spending expensive hammers to build specialist buildings, when specialists being employed are worse than normal tile being worked? In...

Even so, I think the solar collector shows us something about converting hammers into gold. (forgive my using civ5 resources here) Solar collector; 80 hammers; 60 turns duration influencing your area in the orbit before crashing down. solar collector influences 7 tiles max. Each tile gets +1...

I think that in Beyond Earth money (=energy) is not as valuable. The value of money in beyond earth becomes weaker because of couple of factors which affect BEyond earth meta-game: -unit cost discounts are less, for rush buy. Money (=energy) basically has very little value because it has LESS...

Promised land victory simply makes me more happy about winning. :) F*** these other scrubson the new planet ... How dare they go against and complain at their kin, the Earthlings? :mad: I enlarged America quite a bit in that first game I won... Enlarged by the amount of another whole pangea...

I think your summary was correct essentially. The way that coastal empires can be powerful, is when you have many coastal cities, AND coastal capital. This means, you can run food cargos in cities with granary, cities which are coastal. Food cargo is basically, free food in the city (except...

1)the left-top corner, shows the cultural output of the city, it's a purple number figure, hover the mouse on top of that in order to see what it says. 2) city grows one tile per turn, maximum, culturally But like I said earlier, a city grows 36 tiles, in one turn, when you buy with gold, all...

1) there exists a certain mathematical formula describing how quickly a single cultural growth of city, occurs. I haven't studied it, but. The only "guarantee" for how many tiles are in your cultural borders, becomes from búying tiles with cash. This can always be done, in any of your cities...

you can take sortie promotion also for some fighters! sortie supposedly means the unit will intercept 2x per turn the positive side is that you get more bang for your buck from the fighters, which are normally strategic resource limited military unit. If you can get more intercepts per...

I would like more emperor challenges in future. Immortal is next level for me. I've been testing the waters at emperor, and can win with strong civs though, like England. But I'm not confidently immortal player though. It's just that all challenges are either deity or immortal :sad:

When I go liberty I also take patronage for some reason. Otherwise there simply isn't enough happiness available to grow the cities without forbidden palace. I think India with liberty could be quite strong, I dunno. They could go either way I suppose. They have the late game happiness to grow...

why would liberty be so good at war? How many tiles apart do you build cities with liberty?

earlygame cargos and caravans I tend to use for city state trade routes because I'm a warmonger :blush:

truth is indeed, that you can run specialists or work lots of hammer yields at the same time when running food cargos. I guess food cargo is like an external source of food, similar to hanging gardens food bonus, and watermill food bonus. But I was confused by what you said about cargo trade...

Best course of action with rush buy is to always rush buy food and growth buildings I think. For this kind of population challenge. What is required is fast medical labs. Maybe even aztec would ve strong for this challenge with their watermill food bonus.

I suppose food cargoes are " nice " addition to a coastal city. I maintain that coastal city is somewhat overrated. Basically, you lose effective tiles when going coastal, in practice.The bargain is following: coastal city gives quick food boost at cargo ships, early growth, but loses long...

When we're talking about post-colonial unique units for South Africa, then I think of South Africa's "Recce" commandos. The country is quite famous for them, especially with regards to military history of South Africa. Recce are some of the most infamous South Africa's special forces, similar...
