Good news folks, the expansion Rising Tide for Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth is still planned to be a Day-1 Linux release, and it has a new trailer.
Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth is also free to play this weekend on Steam. A nice way to try before you buy.
Aspyr Media is porting the expansion, and the latest email from 2K confirms again it will launch on all platforms at the same time on October 9th.
About Rising Tide
Rising Tide will expand Beyond Earth to new frontiers on the planet’s surface and across its seas, adding more choices and diplomatic options as players build “one more turn” toward a new vision for humanity’s future. New aquatic gameplay will explore the oceans for colonization by dramatically extending the play space, while an overhauled diplomacy system will provide players with additional layers of dynamic choices and options to shape the diplomatic landscape while engaging with the AI and one another.

hmm... somehow I think it is a bit sad that they release what is basically a Civ5 mod but cut down on features (compared to the Civ5 base game with all the expansions), and now they seem to be adding those features again via DLCs.

I was hoping for a cinematic trailer.
The CIVBE cinematic trailer was great. A real tear-jerker in the Interstellar mold. It's a shame the game wasn't quite so great. (But not bad, mind.)

I'm not a Civ player like my girl is, so my girl tried CivBE Linux earlier today and she said she can tell why people don't like it.
It sounded like they reversed the HUD, over simplified some Civ5 mechanics and added in confusing resources. Also other things were annoying like how every couple turns it would show you a new nation single tile off in some random black distance of the map - she said that she liked being able to ignore the other CPU players in 5 better.
I really felt a StarCraft-esk feel from the game having little Civ background. That mechanic sounded dumb in the same way that in StarCraft 2 when a enemy doesn't have a main base the game will show your enemies all your buildings - In SC1 you could run and build a pylon somewhere in the dark to prolong death or give yourself a chance at rebooting your base quickly.
Also, she expressed extreme disappointment over having to play as Humans - playing as Aliens would be so much more fun.

So, as a Pandora:First Contact player, I tried C:BE for the free weekend.
Meh. Uninstalled and it is not a purchase candidate. It's a CIV V clone, with little of Alpha Centauri's
charm, complexity or strategy. Even though P:FC is kicking my ass regularly, it's lower-priced, looks better. and is the true AC sequel.
IMHO
