Greetings, Civ fans! The moment you've been waiting ages for is almost here: Civilization: Beyond Earth, the next installment in Sid Meier's illustrious Civilization franchise, is a mere few weeks from finding its way onto your computer and occupying countless hours (or years) of your life.
Learning the ins and outs of a new entry in the Civilization series can always prove overwhelming. Though some systems and mechanics in Beyond Earth are recognizable, obvious updates of tried-and-true 4X staples from previous titles, the masterminds at Firaxis Games have incorporated a slough of new ideas in their spiritual successor to Alpha Centauri to make for an experience that will prove new and challenging. No need to fret, intrepid strategist -- the Official Civilization Wikia has a number of resources, listed below, meant to level the learning curve and prepare you for exoplanetary civilizing.
