But all the harsh criticism of the practice game (letting the usual Steam haters times outside before) should be said that even Civ 5 was removed in its original version far from perfection and had a lot of room for improvement. This was used to happiness with the addons yes and made Civ 5 at the end of one of the best selling strategy games of all time.
Nevertheless, the old Civ 5 Feeling: "just one more turn, then I'll stop ..." there and you can be really hard to solve.
The research network is really good and you can relatively free to decide what you want to explore and which way you want to go, even though I was not quite clear himself at the beginning, how do I get to victory ....
A deduction of points there that the game looks unfinished and its potential, as I said, does not fully utilize. If there are appropriate Addons (which I strongly hope times) then there will also a star more. More buildings, more miracles and more factions would be desirable for the addon.
Another point deduction there for rarely stupid AI:
-When The first round I was attacked at all, none of the computer opponent and I could act like I wanted. Hab played without any military units.
-When The second round I was the weakest computer opponents attacked completely pointless and unmotivated and was then heavily abgelattet of Me revenge attack. Costa Rica would also not America declare war ....
Although -The computer opponents want to constantly act but actually want me pull only for their own benefit over the table. As soon as I do not put excessive counterclaims, my application is rejected. And what I can buy from the favor (except the useless benevolence of each fraction) has me also undeveloped. I finally want to win so through expansion and fair trade but do not let me take advantage of.
At the current price of 30 (February / 2015) can do little wrong, unless you already have Civ 5 with all addons. Then you should save the money, preferring to play Civ 5. Whoever invests as little more on science fiction, can indeed provide you with the Steam Workshop mods.
So in conclusion I would like to say that Civ: Be is an entertaining game, with all the addons I still have to give preference to Civ 5. If Firaxis for Civ: BE subsequently supply, I revised my happy recession.
