Expanding Civilization Beyond Earth

Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth Rising Tide adds ocean colonisation and new diplomatic systems to the base strategy experience. Players build floating settlements to harvest underwater resources while managing alien sea creatures. Four additional sponsors including Al Falah expand the faction roster for fresh strategic approaches. This expansion suits strategy fans who want deeper planetary development beyond land borders.

Verify Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 compatibility

The game requires a DirectX 11 graphics card and at least eight gigabytes of hard drive space for installation. A physical disc drive is needed for the initial retail setup process. Minimum processor speed is listed as 1.8 GHz on an Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent. Buyers should confirm their operating system meets these specifications before purchasing the expansion.

Sustained sessions reveal diplomatic depth

Dynamic leader traits evolve across long campaigns as players unlock new combinations through gameplay choices. Fear and Respect attributes shift gradually based on diplomatic actions rather than single encounters. Ocean settlements require ongoing resource management as alien beasts adapt to player expansion patterns. Extended play sessions highlight the interconnected systems between water colonisation and political capital investment.

Questions about this item

Does the retail box include a disc, or do I need to download the game separately?

The retail packaging contains a disc for installation, and a disk drive is listed as required for disc-based setup.

Is Rising Tide a standalone game or an expansion that requires the base Civilization: Beyond Earth?

Rising Tide is an expansion; the base game Civilization: Beyond Earth must be installed first to play the new ocean colonisation and diplomacy features.

Will the game run on a Windows Vista SP2 machine with a 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo and 8 GB free space?

Yes, those match the published minimum requirements for operating system, processor speed and hard-drive space.
