With a small delay onwards to the last building part: Supremacy! Level 2 Feedsite Hub (+3 Culture, +1 Science per international or Station Trade Route, Quest: +1 Covert Agent or +10% Worker Speed) Basically an upgraded Alien Preserve with more Culture and more Science. As Supremacy 3 is a very...

The reason are probably the fruits. On special resources you can only build the corresponding improvement. (as far as I know)

Hypothetical question: What would change, if the win conditions were not bound to a tech but just to the Affinity level. So if you reach 13, 14, 15, 16 or whatever (I vote for 15) the gate is available. This way it Tech Web placement wouldn´t matter that much, allowing for more flexibility...

Wait... The Beacon actually sets income to 0? Even if you make -1000 per round? (as long as you can afford the 1000 Energy for activation) Sounds pretty broken to me. Anyway, thanks for this fact, didn´t know.

Next up: Purity Buildings Purity Level 2: Gene Garden (+1 Science, +2 Health, Quest: +3 Energy and no maintenance or +1 Health) Purity starts of with another Health booster. Thats surely a nice thing, but compared to the other options (Xenofuel Plant/Xenonursery and Feedsite Hub) it is a bit...

Next up Buildings. As these need a bit more space I will do them Affinity for Affinity starting with Harmony: Harmony Level 2: Xenonursery (+10% Science, +1 Scientist, + 1 Science per Xenomass, Quest: 450 Science one time or +5 Xenomass) Harmony is the only Affinity with two buildings at...

Look at page 1 of this thread. Something got mixed up and Civ:BE will be at another day (Today if I remember right)

No tech gives you a level thats affinity, only the ruins do. If you hover with your pointer over the tech symbol which includes an affinity symbol (the most left side of the tech entry) you will see something like +12 to Purity Affinity. If you hover over the Affinity scoreboard at the upper...

I meant more cities as in: More cities faster, less cities slower, measured from the point of a completed Mind Flower. I have no idea about "optimal play" or something. Its not my idea of playing this (or any) game. Compared to: Purity: More cities, less space for settling Supremacy: More...

After some thought I think the Affinity levels should be tied to improved tile yields instead of certain techs. For example could Purity levels lead to better Domes (from most to least: Culture, Food and Prod) and Terrascapes (less upkeep, more of the rest either in addition to prosperity or...

At the moment yes, I prefer it to Civ 5, but be warned as it has many rough edges that need to be worked on. In a direct comparison between Civ BE and Civ 5 (+ 2 addons and DLC), the later is way more refined (logically). Civ BE has potential but needs more work. This can lead to disappointment...

I had Steam download a 12.8 Mbit patch a few days ago, didn´t play again yet.

Thanks for the input guys. I am not that big into Supremacy because of the low speed (They just feel so slow compared to hovering Purity or terrain ignoring Harmony), but yes I can see the use in Phasal Transporter with Harmony 6. I mainly used it for placing Scout Tac Hubs around the map. So...

Its not a direct prerequisite, but if you check the "quests and victories" window under the Exodus point, you will see that you are currently in the "Build a lasercom Sat" step. Shot one one into the sky and you can start building the Gate. (And should have some prebuild roads/magrails/Phase...

Have you built a Lasercom Satellite?
