What was once a huge swath of unusable space is now a literal sea of potential. Conquering the Seaīut all that can be overlooked given Rising Tide's main attraction, which is the ability to construct ocean colonies.

You can use Diplomatic Capital to propose an agreement to stop things from reaching a state of war, but there's no guarantee that a leader will accept it. It's hard to tell why an opposing leader dislikes you, and the missing diplomatic options make it impossible to appease them with gifts. It's extremely difficult to save a degrading relationship, especially when you draw close to winning.

But these factors are difficult to manage. Things get trickier as time goes on and rivals become angry at you for seemingly no reason. Instead, diplomacy is based on vague Fear and Respect system, where rival leaders act according to your personality traits, Affinity, and military might. You can set up a bunch of different agreements, and use your Diplomatic Capitol to form alliances, but I couldn't find a way to do any of the classic moves like send or request money, denounce an opponent, or tell someone to stop spying on me. It can also be used to purchase agreements with other nations or even units and structures.Īlthough the new diplomacy system looks streamlined at first glance, it actually feels incomplete. These personality traits can be switched out as priorities change, which leaves a good deal of unpredictability among leaders. This new resource is acquired by certain buildings and can be used in a variety of ways, including personality bonuses that help drive how your empire grows. What the leaders lack in personality can be compensated using the new diplomacy system, which uses a new currency called Diplomatic Capital. My favorite is Al Falah, which has a 150 percent yield bonus from city productions. Although the blank slate personality system makes them hard to tell apart, they have some very good faction bonuses. They come from trans-national organizations that would be considered radicals and spies on Old Earth. Rising Tide expands the field of alien world colonization by including four new leaders who aren't necessarily bound by the rigidness of running a nation. It successfully broadens Beyond Earth's gameplay and fixes many of the of the issues the main game has with new features, but causes a few of its own problems while doing so. The developers, Firaxis, have worked to fix some of the gameplay issues, leading up to Rising Tide, Beyond Earth's first major expansion. Although we knew the journey would be challenging, we didn't know at the time that it would be marked with a daunting tech tree, boring leaders, and a maddening amount of alien miasma.
