Sponsors (CivBE)

Sponsors are playable factions in Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth and its Rising Tide expansion. They are analogous to the factions of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and the civilizations of other Civilization games.

Beyond Earth: Rising Tide

When Rising Tide was released, the sponsors were overhauled with Rising Tide-specific unique abilities. For example, PAC produces Diplomatic Capital whilst this is not possible in the base game. Unique abilities can additionally be upgraded with Diplomatic Capital and this is indicated with the x/y/z as to what changes as it is leveled.
