You'll get quests randomly - some tied to research, some tied to random events and discoveries, some tied to building construction - that, when you complete the tasks, will offer you a choice for rewards. There are two more major gameplay differences that I feel are worth mentioning, one good and one bad. Imagine the grabboids from Tremors but like a million times worse. If one of those things strikes your city early on, you're doomed I threw my entire army at it (granted, that was only four units at the time), and by the time I managed to kill it, I had just a city surrounded by pillaged farms and no military left at all. This worm - which can appear VERY early in the game, as I found out - is a RIDICULOUSLY powerful alien unit that attacks through melee and kills most units in one hit while taking VERY little damage from most units. Furthermore there are certain colossal alien units like the dreaded Siege Worm. Through the right research, your Explorer units can "lasso" and take control of most alien units, but you can't build them. They're COMPLETELY different from ANYTHING you can build. Barbarians in traditional Civilization games use the same kinds of units you do these aliens are, for lack of a better word, totally alien. The reason that I like this more than barbarians is because it's different. They're basically things like enormous bugs and sea monsters and stuff. Now don't go thinking you're going to be killing twiliks or Andorians or anything these aren't humanoid, sentient aliens. Instead of barbarians, Beyond Earth has aliens.

My favorite gameplay change is really, in most ways, more a theme tweak than full on change, and that's the aliens. It's a really cool take on cities that gives your naval units a dramatically increased importance. So if you move an aquatic city to the right one tile, the tile in front, the tile to the upper right, and the tile to the lower right would all be added to its territory. When you move your city to an adjacent tile, all tiles adjacent to it become its territory. When they develop into full cities, the main differences are that they can move (albeit only one tile at a time, and it takes a few turns) and that they don't gain territory over time like land cities do they do so through movement. These begin the same way - as an outpost - but they're settled in the ocean instead of on land. The other type of city, however, is new and very different - floating cities.

Your land cities work the same the only difference is that they start as an "outpost" for a few turns that you can't really do anything with until it develops into a full fledged city. I say halfway because there are two types of cities that you can build. The buildings and tile improvements also work basically the same as in classic Civilization games, but there are a LOT of buildings, and there are a few more types of tile improvements, as well.

Units also don't upgrade through research raising your affinity levels (you can have points in all three) allows you to develop and essentially evolve your units, and the affinity evolution you choose will determine what two perks you get to choose between when you upgrade. It simplifies things, but they're less entertaining. The unit construction works pretty much the same as in regular Civ games, the only real difference being that when troops level up, they just gain passive stat boosts instead of specialized perks. There's also a thing called "affinity" that certain researches and quests (I'll explain those in a minute) give you points in, either Supremacy, Harmony, or Purity basically is your attitude to dominate your new alien home and bend it to your will, live in a symbiotic relationship with your new alien home, do whatever it takes to retain what it is to be human and principally Terran, or - this is most common and most advantageous - do you blend all three to some degree? Your research is also a "web" with certain research unlocking multiple branches in a much more complex method than a traditional Civilization game. Think the East India Company but in space and with lasers.

Your "civilizations" are actually colonies chartered by certain corporations, and your "leader" is the CEO of that corporation and, by extension, leader of the colony. The basic premise of Beyond Earth is that humanity has - unsurprisingly - fucked up the Earth too badly for most human life, so we load up on some space ships and go find a new planet to fuck up.
