I feel like Purity might be the strongest tree if you're going for a domination victory. The Battlesuit is a ridiculously strong unit. And the extra gene health thingy that you get builds really fast.

Apart from the game play I think they really need to make the cities look more diverse. In Civ V nearly every civ had their own unique architecture. In BE it looks really silly if you fight against someone and both armies and cities look exactly the same. It really takes a lot of the Civ atmosphere away.

I only now noticed how ridiculous covert ops are. I just stole 14'000 energy with one operative. Why go for production if you can just steal thousands of energy and buy everything?

I'm playing the faction with improved covert ops (ARC or so) because I thought they'd be weak.

Here is a list of technical issues we are looking to address – (please know this list is not all inclusive and we will continue to track and research issues that are reported).

[ENGINE]

• Correcting screen resolution problems, particularly related to the 144hz refresh rate full-screen (or lack of full-screen) issue.
  
• Investigating a start-up problem where the game shuts down with an error immediately following the opening movie.
  
• Investigating crash issues submitted by users, and through Steam crash reporting.
  
• Adding an in-game option to disable depth of field effect for players that prefer the game without this.

[UI]

• Ongoing updates to in-game text, tool-tips, etc.
  
• Correcting an issue where actions could be missing from embarked workers (like repairing a pillaged water improvement)
  
• Adding "Completed" section to city production menu so players know what they just finished.
  
• Adding advanced touch controls, gesture support, pen support.

[ACHIEVEMENTS]

• Achievements not firing if Max Turns was set in previous games. Also investigating some other possible causes.

[MODDING]

• Fixing 2D leader fall-back image support for all graphics quality settings.

[MULTIPLAYER]

• Investigating reports of potential multiplayer stability issues.

There are also other bugs under investigation. If you’re working with 2K Support, and sending along savegames or dxdiag files, that information is coming directly to Firaxis as well and will help us out. We’ll provide additional details on bugfixes as we verify and correct them.

As you saw during the lead-up to launch, we continue to iterate on design through development (remember the station Adept Blue? It got nerfed a month before launch). As we have done in the past, we will continue to iterate and address issues after launch as well. Our players’ feedback on balance drives the design team’s goals for the game. We’ll have more information on the balance changes as the design team has a chance to evaluate and implement your feedback.

We’ll also let you know more about the timing of the upcoming patch as we assemble more information. Thanks for your patience and continuing dialog with us as we continue to support Beyond Earth.

Purity is by far the strongest tree.
Purity + Space Russia = battle suit turn 50-65 on highest difficulty.

Without the tech sling shot, Purity is still the best. Like someone said, their base unique unit costs no affinity resources and their floating units negate all the ravines.
Supremacy can have interesting chain bonuses, by having a line of units you get something like +50% bonus so even junky marine replacements can sort of standup to the other races affinity units. Harmony is weak, their unique unit is far away, their units synergy is actually to be separate from each other but with the way the maps are designed you are always bunched together anyway. Imo they need to be morel like Gaians in AC where the planet starts siding with them. But again, ultrasonic fence = aliens meaningless past turn 50

Do you play on Quick speed setting? On Standard, I get nowhere close to getting Battle Suit tech, even when going down the Knowledge virtue route. I'm honestly curious how people get to these kinds of tech so early in the game.
