So, anyone playing Beyond Earth?

[Rez09]

I don't have the money to pick it up yet, but I've been watching some people play it on Twitch. Anyone here playing? If so, what do you think?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I like the concept. I'm just not a fan of the top down, almost stick-figure like perspective.

[Mirage]

I've clocked 22 hours since friday.

[escobert]

I will be very shortly. I have almost 1000 hours in Civ 5. I can't wait for this

[Slothy]

Have been playing it. And enjoying it.

[Rez09]

Trade routes seem rather . . . ridiculous right now. They are strong enough that people are successfully city spamming hard early on without regard to colony health just to get more routes. :o

Anything else you guys have seen or are trying that is crazy powerful or amusing at the moment?

[Mirage]

I always find it really easy to gain tons of energy.

but yeah, trade routes are a bit OP.

Game is also a bit buggy. One of the civs started asking for open borders every 5 turns in my last game, and sometimes I will get a "continue trade deal" request that only displays a completely empty trade window where i can't add resources, and also can't accept the empty trade because there's nothing in it. The only option is to reject it, and then afterwards I would get a notice saying which deal it was that was supposed to be shown there, because i see it being cancelled.

Anyone still playing it? I just got it for free with my new video card and was wondering if I should keep the key or sell it. Haven't played Civ V but I really liked Civ III and IV.

[escobert]

I'm back to Civ for the time being but, I'd keep the key. Once some DLC hits it'll start getting really good.

[Mirage]

I'd keep the key too. It's definitely the best game you could get for free today

[Pike]

Decent game; I prefer SMAC and Civ IV but this is still pretty fun. Not really playing it right now though.

[Vyk]

Not personally into civ games but I think if I were to test drive one it'd be this one. I like the idea. Sci fi frontier days
