Now (14 days later) I'm more disillusioned. I see no way Pandora even if the names of some units at Ac remember near AC.
Pandora can not be won by peaceful means, the menus are far away from the richness of detail Alpha Centauri and the opponents are unstoppable even in the lightest level. The diplomacy is limited to a very few phrases which end at some point in a declaration of war. Machts of a non machts up the other. To win you need more aggressive than the KI hone its military research, the other Fortscchritte are hardly possible. I won - but the victory gave me was not fun. It was a long war for the excessive I had wasted an incredible number of resources and not allowed to grow my colony. In addition, I was forced to turn the other groups, I do not so great found, a possible cooperation would have me more interested. But research and development found in all fractions quasi only on the military sector rather than to be the most effective way to spank your butt, to take away the cities or flatten and make the aliens (natives of the planet) flatten.
The graphics are impressive and the presentation has a high detail on but as I said - unfortunately a Total War game more. If no upgrades come to expand the peaceful and diplomatic or parts of the game it was more pity for money. Then simply still waiting for the original Firaxis 'CIV' Beyond Earth ''. Come in the fall ....
