Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth: Rising Tide, is the official expansion pack for the turn-based strategy video game Civilization: Beyond Earth released on October 9, 2015.[1]
Setting
In the aftermath of the first wave of colonies, the people of Earth continue to struggle for existence. New factions have arisen and have launched a new wave of colonies off planet.[2]
Gameplay
The expansion features new features including an improved diplomacy system, expanded water gameplay (which includes floating cities), a new artifact system and hybrid affinities.
The biggest change in Rising Tide is the addition of aquatic cities. Unlike land based cities, or even ocean cities in previous iterations of the game, aquatic based cities can move.[3]
In addition to the major changes, Rising Tide adds two new biomes, frigid, an ice world and primordial, a geologically active world.[3] Four new sponsors have also been added, [3]
