Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is the latest game in the Civilization series and a successor to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Like its predecessor, Beyond Earth takes Civilization's turn-based, 4X formula to an alien planet in humanity's future. Beyond Earth will run on a modified version of the Civ V engine and is due to be released fall 2014. Firaxians Will Miller and David McDonough are co-lead designers on the project.

The Seeding

At the beginning of the game, players make 3 choices that define the civilization they will lead. They choose a faction and corresponding faction leader, the type of colonists they wish to bring to the new planet, and the equipment their spaceship will carry.

At some point during setup, players will also select the difficulty level. The known difficulty levels are: Sputnik, Mercury, Gemini, Vostok, Soyuz, and Apollo.

Factions

The game includes 8 factions. Each faction represents the population of a colony ship sponsored by a powerful political entity on Earth. Factions are led by unique leaders chosen by the faction's sponsor. The 8 known factions are:

Faction Bonuses Leader Portrait
