Sequel Escalation: Leaders' Affinity appearances will be even more extreme than in Beyond Earth.

Plasma Cannon: Powerful but short-ranged weapons.

Mad Libs Thriller Title: Many of the missions have names such as 'The Carolingean Illusion' or 'The Thuringian Fallacy.'.

Energy Weapon: The primary weapons of any starship.

Distress Call: The signal that spurs your colony to build a fleet of well-armed starships instead of one diplomatic ship.

Most PC players felt that the developers focused too much on making the game playable on an iPad. Surprisingly for a Sid Meier game, it received a large number of negative reviews, especially for the PC/Mac version, which was extremely buggy and simplistic for a full-featured PC game. It is also noted that the initially-selected leaders of your colony are the same as in Beyond Earth. Naturally, Space Battles are a common occurrence. The player is able to customize each ship to a great extent to fit a particular task. Instead of a whole civilization, the player is put in control of a fleet of starships exploring the galaxy, encountering the other Lost Colonies and, possibly, alien civilizations as well, and dealing with various threats. The game is played out on a 2-D Space map. Instead of one ship, a whole fleet is launched, ready for anything and prepared to render aid to the other colonies.

The colonists begin the construction of a starship to take their emissaries to meet their brethren only to decode the message half-way through the construction and discover that it's a call for help. Your colony has flourished and began to wonder about the fate of the other human colonies on other worlds. Thousands of years have passed since the launch of the ships that settled the various exoplanets.
