Civilization Beyond Earth Stance guide covering Slavery, Land Security, Elections, Natives, and Religion. Learn the benefits of each choice.

Slavery Stance

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Choose the 'Slavery' Stance to gain +25% Food, Lumber, Silver, Cotton, Fur, Sugar, Tobacco, and Ore Production in all Settlements.
  2. 2
    Consider if this bonus outweighs the potential to trade these resources for money, which is crucial for declaring independence and bribing other nations or tribes.
Tips
  • The 'All Men Are Free' Stance might be more useful if you anticipate heavy troop combat, as it supports a larger army to replace fallen soldiers.
  • A large bank balance is generally recommended for bribing other nations or tribes to fight for you during independence.

Land Security Stance

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Select 'Controlled Arms' for a +50% Liberty Bells Production in All Settlements. Liberty Bells boost fighting troops and provide more Founding Father points.
  2. 2
    Alternatively, choose 'Right to Bear Arms' to grant +1 Strength for all Colonists, increasing your land defense against invading Imperialist soldiers.
Tips
  • 'Right to Bear Arms' offers a more direct combat advantage on the battlefield compared to the production bonus of 'Controlled Arms'.
  • Consider the need for sheer manpower and raw firepower over tactical advantages when making this choice.

Elections Stance

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Opt for 'Elections' to receive +100% Founding Father Point Rate, generating Founding Father points twice as quickly. This is vital for acquiring new Founding Fathers, especially military ones during conflict.
  2. 2
    The 'Monarchy' Stance allows you to continue Trade with Europe. However, this is less useful after declaring independence, as your naval forces are needed for defense against invading European troops, and you should ideally have sufficient Gold beforehand.
Tips
  • 'Elections' is generally preferred over 'Monarchy' as it accelerates the acquisition of crucial Founding Father points without diverting naval forces to trade during wartime.
  • Consider trading excess production from your colonies to other colonies or natives if you choose 'Elections'.

Stance on Natives

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Choose 'Manifest Destiny' for a +50% bonus against Natives and to have colony borders dominate native borders.
  2. 2
    Alternatively, select 'Native Rights' to strengthen relations with the Natives, potentially gaining their assistance in conflicts.

Tips:

  • 'Native Rights' is recommended as allied natives can provide crucial backup when fighting against the King's forces, especially when reclaiming cities.
  • Fighting natives with 'Manifest Destiny' can serve as a source of experience for your troops, but may strain your forces if you are also fighting the King.

Stance on Religion

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Select 'Seperation of Church and State' to convert Immigration Crosses into Liberty Bells.
  2. 2
    Choose 'Theocracy' to convert Immigration Crosses into Production Hammers.
Tips
  • 'Theocracy' is generally the more advantageous stance, despite potential modern connotations, as it directly converts immigration into production resources.
  • 'Seperation of Church and State' is useful if Liberty Bells are a priority, but 'Theocracy' offers a better overall advantage.
