I do not like writing reviews that are negative, But I feel that this has to be written. Civilization: Beyond Earth is rediculios. Unless I build a masssive army I cannot stand against the aliens even on the lowest level . I have tried playing several different organizations using harmony and when I try to even get close to an alien nest i am swarmed by more than 6 aleins and killed before I can do anything . If I attack them then The swarm my cities and I die. this is not a challenge this is a farce. Current dilemma is that and artifact has been found next to an alien nest and resource has also been found next to an alien nest I have lost 6 military units attempting to recover theses items and yet none of the aliens have even died. In my opinion I have wasted $60 dollars on a game that I thought would challenging and fun not frustrating and rediculous.

Exact opposite experience from what I had. They never attacked my cities. Not once (ok so two of them at the begining of the very first game, and I wrecked them). I've played through twice and they mostly leave me alone, just kinda in the way a bit. Eat more Garlic? I dunno, maybe you're just that guy that all the mosquitos eat and they leave everyone else at the campsite alone.
