Galactic Civilizations vs Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide

In Galactic Civilizations you command United Earth in the year 2178, racing against rival civilizations to claim habitable worlds after the breakthrough of hyperdrive technology. Build a thriving economy, research advanced technologies, and forge diplomatic ties while preparing a formidable military force. The game challenges you to balance exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination in a richly detailed 4X turn‑based strategy experience, offering deep customization and endless replayability for solo players.

After the first wave of colony ships left Earth, survivors on a new planet form four factions driven by opportunism, resilience, ruthlessness, and survival. Decades later, a new tide of pioneers rises, challenging players to shape humanity’s destiny among alien seas and uncharted lands. Rising Tide expands the original Beyond Earth experience with surface and underwater frontiers, deeper diplomatic options, and fresh strategic choices, letting you build a civilization one more turn at a time.
