Watch the Harmony, Purity, and Supremacy victories play out with some help from the biggest, baddest units in the game.



Of the five victory conditions in Civilization: Beyond Earth, three are specific to an affinity. They require dedicating yourself to a certain belief about the evolution of humanity and taking it to it's logical extremes. In doing so, you unlock the strangest, most powerful units in the game, which come in handy in case any other civ takes issue with your beliefs. Each of the three videos below details how to achieve an affinity-specific victory and shows off these city-killing units in action. Enjoy!


Harmony

For the civilization that views alien life as equals and endeavors to understand them, shepherd them, and become one with them. Also the path to choose if you want to control a kaiju or shoot lasers from a hovering space jellyfish.

Purity

For the civilization that believes the Earth way was the best way and wants to remake all other planets in her image. Even if that involves constructing a tremendous hovering arsenal bristling with guns.

Supremacy

For the civilization that is tired of the limitations of the flesh and believes that through robotics and cybernetics, we can be better, faster, stronger. And who would like to introduce anyone who thinks otherwise to a towering four-legged war machine.

Interesting...but BE transcendence doesn't hold a candle to SMAC transcendence.

(Also, I'm pretty sure there's enough affinity points in the game that you can get the victory for your secondary or even tertiary affinity, though it takes longer of course.)
