Civilization Beyond Earth Worker LEGO Set is Ready to Colonize Your Toy Collection

Posted on by

Firaxis Games is the developer behind Sid Meier’s Civilization III up to its most recent release, Civilization Beyond Earth. For the latter’s launch party, the studio asked employee Andy Clarke to create LEGO replicas of the game’s Worker unit. Andy made only 180 sets, but someday you might be able to buy one if LEGO gives the green light to Andy’s proposal on LEGO Ideas.

The set consists of the front end loader variant of the unit, a Worker minifig, a female version of the minifig’s head and a Firaxis sticker. Have your browser settle on LEGO Ideas to vote for the set.

Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth Lands This Fall

Posted on by

I have been playing the Civilization games from Sid Meier for years. I particularly liked Civilization V that launched most recently in the series, and still play that game frequently. If you are a fan of the franchise, a new game is coming in late 2014 that you can look forward to. The game is called Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Unlike the other games in the franchise that have had us evolving our civilizations over time up until the space-faring age when the game ends, Beyond Earth starts there. Players will get to colonize other worlds with their civilizations.

Players will get to lead factions to alien worlds where they can make colonies. The planets will change based on the player actions. Beyond Earth will also feature nonlinear technology progression, deep customization, and more. There is always the chance that the game will be delayed, but I hope not I am looking forward to playing this game when it hits this holiday season. You can pre-order Civilization: Beyond Earth now for $49.99(USD).

Details of the Civilization-based MMORPG emerge, you might not get to play it

Sure, you've controlled minions and vast armies in the Civilization games, but here's your chance to actually be one of those underlings -- at least if you live in South Korea. Civilization Online, announced late last year, is an in-development MMORPG title set in the Civ universe, and Massively has learned some of its finer details from the folks at XL Games and 2K Games (the companies crafting it in CryEngine 3). At the start, players will join one of four societies, and all will have to work together to expand across the sandbox environment and progress through the ages.

Unlike most MMOs, there will come a time when one civilization achieves certain goals and effectively "wins," at which point the world will reset. Although combat is a part of the game, societies will also need to research, build and do various other things to become number one, much like the traditional strategy titles. Head to the source link for more info on the specifics, but don't get too excited -- Civilization Online will be launching first in Korea, and there are currently "no plans for a North American release." Not used to things being out of your control, are you?
