Different type of planets?

[Blo0d]

Is it possible to have more type of planet we colonise?
Like a water one? or a mars typed one? different life forms as well ! Not only one planets!!!

There are different kinds of planets to colonize. But the alien life will still be the same.

The exoplanets map pack you get for pre-ordering has planets in it that are based off of real planets.

It actually mean unknown and/or foreign depending on the context.

No, because you are only on one planet. There isn't going to be cross planetary warfare. It's going to be like civ 5 was, which is everyone being on the same planet.

For space empire, wait for Galactic civilization 3....
I like these new "barbarians", speacilly they won't be such easy at the end. But it would be cooler, if designer had given us more variant. It does need to be that many different type. Few speacilly for desert planet, few for all type of planet(random names), few for jungle planet and so on...
Hmm...DLC in coming?

Technically, we are the aliens.

^^ this, we are arriving from a different planet. That seems to be the common description of the word "alien" nowadays.

How is that Fireaxis' fault that you decided to spoiler yourself and read/watch "almost everything about the aliens"?????

[Logan_The_Hermit]

For one thing, the alien wildlife is way more dynamic, interesting, and varied compared to their "counterparts" (barbarians) of old. Yes there may not seem to be a great variety in number, although if you count sea creatures and aliens that serve as resources it's a little more broad, but you also should consider that modding will likely add alot more to this in the future (As well as official updates or expansions). On top of all that you can go Harmony and use the aliens directly for warfare.

So despite them seeming to be more limited in number than one would imagine a new planet to have, they are way more interactive and adaptive as a secondary system in the game. Remember your main antagonists are still the competing factions and not the alien wildlife. Depending on how badly you tick off the local wildlife of course. :) I am quite sure future mods or updates will introduce a more human-like sentient alien faction as well.

I imagine you can outline the parameters, in the game options, for the type of world you wish to colonize
