![]() ![]() No energy support, no army limit bonus or additional combat expertise just a hidden counter in the background that ensures any lucrative reparations payout is even more lucrative.Īll Guerilla Mastery really does is give you a slight boost whilst you're already ahead and that is neither helpful nor particularly interesting. Similar to Civilization V, Brasilia is a war orientated race that doesn't get the important tools required for actually waging a war. With the new war score system being introduced last patch, this sponsor has some potential to do something different as the idea of trained soldiers turning the tide of a war through nothing but pure numbers is a thematic one.Īfter trying it out in a few games though, I can say that the bonus to war score points just doesn't have a big enough impact to be worth upgrading.Įven with INTEGR's War of Ideas agreement in tow (which offers a total +75% war score bonus when coupled with Brasilia's fully upgraded UA), the net result is a bunch of extra technologies or resources you didn't prioritise because they weren't important anyway. Thanks!ĭear, oh dear! Firaxis just can't seem to give Rejinaldo a break, can they? Taking home many a worst sponsor award since the vanilla release, Brasilia's benefits never seem to make any sort of meaningful impact on your game. Share your top 12 too so we can get a decent discussion going. To be clear: this isn't a tier list necessarily, but just a ranking of how much I like each sponsor, taking into account everything from their design and backstory to their unique abilities and overall game balance. ![]() To start off I've chalked up a favourites list of where I personally rank the 12 sponsors of Beyond Earth and might consider doing more for virtues and wonders etc. It's not getting any easier to enjoy BERT what with Firaxis' suspect ability to fix big problems - what did they do to marvel quests!? - but I thought I'd start up a little discussion on the elements that people currently like/dislike for giggles anyway. (A bit of a mouthful, but I think it works.I've been absent from the Beyond Earth scene for a while now and I've since noticed that activity on this forum has slumped in the wake of the most recent patch. If I were to name my affinity, it would be Ascendancy. So, as an example why would I limit myself to "just" power armor (raw Purity) when I can create a network of smart-nanobots to assist in my endeavors (Purity-Supremacy) and have super strength and extreme longevity (Purity-Harmony) to go with it all? Using biology to solve internal problems is what gave us medicine, agriculture, philosophy, art, knowledge, etc. Using technology to solve external problems is what gave us roads, engineering, architecture, skyscrapers, space stations, etc. To me, a complete refusal of adaptive technology (Supremacy) and genetic destiny (Harmony) is not only foolish, but also fatal. "The synthesis of a superhuman life form." Purity-Harmony because man is a beautiful creation, and our DNA is meant to be improved, so we should have the best bodies and minds possible. "The development of man and machine to the highest degree." Purity-Supremacy because technologies are tools, so we should have the best tools possible. That said, I like the hybrid affinities associated with Purity as well. The whole point of the Seeding was to prevent humanity from falling away on a dying world, so it makes sense to me that I would claim a new world, and then "bring forth my Earthling brothers and sisters to a new world to call home, a Promised Land." The other two essentially abandon Earth Supremacy goes back and conquers it in violation of human liberty, and Harmony forgets about it entirely. I find I side with the Purity affinity the most.Īnd I like their victory condition, it appeals to me as the "good ending" of a game. We just have to exterminate them and bring earthling species along to terraform our new planet which is ours by right the moment we set foot on it. Aliens shouldn't be breathing the same air with us. I didn't know that i am to be considered a NAZI because i don't want to mix my genes with filthy aliens. ![]() Although another thing that's not helping is the fact that they also kind of look like Warhammer 40K Space Marines. )Īnd we're kind of discussing more the attitude towards others rather than the background philosophies, and Purity just kind of feels like Space Nazis :cgrazz. It's "having reasons because I have a particular stance on things" rather than the opposite. Αναρτήθηκε αρχικά από Tripas:Dude, the nazis aren't based on "pseudo-science", they're based on "I'm like this and I'm automatically great so let's look for an excuse to hate everyone else" and everything else was just looking for validation. ![]()
