"The team has released a new patch for Beyond Earth: Rising Tide. This new patch introduces the Wonder War, allows for Domination-focused plundering of an opponent’s final city, adds additional information about Artifact rewards, expands the Black Market Covert Op, and makes additional bug fixes and UI improvements. And last but not least, we’ve updated the colors for Chungsu.
The Wonder War is a set of changes to the AI that makes it far more aggressive towards players when a Planetary Wonder is constructed. The AI is now more actively concerned with preventing a player from winning the game, and so as the player begins their endgame, the AI factions will warn with more aggressive messaging via Communiques, and then switch to actively preventing the player from completing their victory. Alliances will be sorely tested as the player asserts the right to set humanity’s future direction, and adversaries are likely to become implacable enemies from that point.
The Black Market Covert Op now has a “Sell” function as well. Assigning an agent to this op allows you to discretely unload your strategic resources in exchange for Diplomatic Capital. The more experienced an agent, the more resources they can sell. The Diplomatic Capital rate remains constant per resource sold.
Domination Plundering allows a player to use the Spoils of War system to extract the War Score difference in techs or resources after taking an opposing faction’s final city.
We have also added access to information about any rewards you’ve unlocked through researching Artifacts. There’s a “+” button in the bottom-right of the screen which will expand out to show that information.
There are some changes in this patch which will also apply back to the basic Beyond Earth. A complete list of the changes in this patch may be found below.
