Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
Originally, a city phase was to follow the tribal phase, but it was merged into the civilization phase. The player's tribal camp has grown to a city, which must be cared for. Players now have access to a building editor to change the appearance of the buildings in their city or create new buildings. The game will attempt to detect what style of content the player prefers, download similar content created by other players and add it to the buy menu. Also, players can now use a vehicle editor, allowing construction of land vehicles, aircraft, ships and submersibles.
Once players reach this point they are allowed to view the entire planet from space. Once the player elevates the camera past a certain point, the realistically detailed features of the planet become more exaggerated. For example, the cities of the planet change from a properly-scaled view with all individual buildings visible to a more iconic cartoon-like depiction for functional and aesthetic reasons, and to avoid micromanagement.
