I've been in the mood for strategy games recently, and I decided to return to Civ Beyond Earth to try to satisfy things. I opt to go to a little harder difficulty here to show why I hate playing on the higher difficulties usually, although with the exception of the African Union (and somewhat ARC), you don't get to see how bad things can really get. Keep in mind that on Apollo, it gets much worse, and I did not want these to stretch to ridiculous lengths, so Soyuz it is.

On this difficulty, the AI still starts with quite a few of the same benefits it would have on Apollo still, but the production numbers do not go insane. Part of the reason this game is fairly tame for the difficulty (abnormally so) is that three of the Civs stay in almost perpetual war with each other. Meanwhile, I only have the ARC breathing down my neck and have my sights on Al Falah since she is expanding into territory I want.

The name of the game is affinity rushing to get superior unit types, and from there we can crush the enemy's superior numbers. Judging from all the Firaxite on the ground around me when I land, this will be a Supremacy game, which is fine snice the last INTEGR game I did was Purity.
