Steam Workshop link (Warning: Requires the Gods & Kings expansion) This mod brings that classic system into Civ V. Naturally, things like a fundamentalist government worked better with a society that valued power and was capable of thought control. Each category (politics, economics, values, future) had four choices, and they all worked differently with one another. Your civ gets bonuses for different choices. Instead, you got to use “social engineering.” The end result was basically the same, though. In Alpha Centauri, players didn’t choose social policies. Naturally, each civ also has its special ability and unique buildings and units. For Morgan Industries, you’ll control Nwabudike Morgan (which the game represents with a picture of actor Morgan Freeman). This add-on introduces civilizations like The Lord’s Believers, The Spartan Federation, and The Human Hive to Civ V. Alpha Centuari had those, and modder Framedachitecture brought them into Civ V with this mod. Everyone knows that corporations, religion, and private militaries will run the planet. In the future, we’ll no longer belong to nations. While some of these mods require the Gods & Kings mod, they should all also work with the latest add-on, Brave New World. You can get a similar experience to both in Civ V right now with a handful of mods. Beyond Earth is a spiritual successor to that series, but it won’t use the Alpha Centauri name since publisher Electronic Arts owns that property and Firaxis now works with publisher 2K Games.īut don’t worry about old Alpha Centauris and new Beyond Earths. Sid Meier, the creator of Civilization, first explored the concept in Alpha Centauri, a 1999 turn-based strategy game for PC. If you think a sci-fi Civilization on an alien planet sounds like a brilliant new idea, you’re wrong. Well, we’ve gone ahead and dived into the Steam Workshop, a place where modders can release their creations for others to easily install, and we’ve found some add-ons that will enable you to start going into the future in Civ V right now. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded.
