So many great questions!
Alright, I have looked through these and worked with
Rob (R8XFT) and some of the other awesome CivFanatics mods and admins here to come up with this list:
01. Could you advise what the starting advantage is of one of the already revealed factions?
02. How far does the unit workshop allow us to customise the units? Do the upgrades work in a similar manner to promotions in Civ 5?
03. Will there be Great People in Beyond Earth?
04. We've heard that the culture system is based on "virtues" - is that much like the policy trees in Civ 5?
05. Apart from earth itself, does Beyond Earth feature one planet each play?
06. How many turns will we have at the start of a game of Beyond Earth before other factions arrive? Will they then all arrive at once? Will the difficulty level affect the length of time?
I will send this along to the devs and see what I get back
Of course the big question is, "When will we see our answers, Kate?!?!"
As soon as I have a date to share with you, I will. I know that everyone will be excited to get these answered, and I do not want to set up any expectations and not meet them. Instead please know that they are getting passed along, that the dev team will answer when they can (Firaxis truly does love working with their communities!), and as soon as I know when the answers will be going live I will return to this thread with that info.
