Giving you that initial extra unit just helps to save you time so that you don’t have to click the next button a few times more than you would have initially needed to. Immediately, you will notice that your choice of where to settle your initial colony is extremely limited, usually one of 7 clustered hexagons chosen at random by the game for you (unless you picked the perk that gave you a larger potential settlement range) which is markedly different to the un-restrictive initial settlement found in other Civilization games which can lead to some interesting strategic outcomes. The many different possible variations of set-ups will allow you to tailor your colony to your own play-style a lot better than any other Civilization game to date.

In addition to picking your “sponsor” (basically nation), out of the eight possible ones, each with their own small bonuses, you will then get to decide what kind of colonists you will plan to bring (Engineers? Artists?) who will bring along their own additional perks, you then decide what kind of helpful device your spaceship carries (be it a stockpile of energy or some sort of geological scanner) that can give you a significant early game advantage in addition to a free unit or building to start out in you first city to go along with your initial explorer.
You may even look at the diplomacy screens and just scream “THIS IS CIVILIZATION 5. You will look at the new native aliens and just snicker at the re-skinned barbarians. You might even think it’s cute that Firaxis decided to do away with gold and just replace currency with “energy” and change all the resources that we are normally used to like horses, iron and uranium to sci-fi resources like “float stone,” “xenomass” and “firaxite” (haha, good try their Firaxis Games). You will find that you will need to research technologies, produce things and march towards a chosen goal of one out of the five Victories available that will end your game session with your complete and utter triumph. Sure, you can easily take a glance at some gameplay footage, notice that the UI is pretty similar to Civilization 5 and that combat works in the exact same way.
Put simply, the tacked on parts make the wheel (or square, if you’re still following on from the previous analogy) wobbly and act nothing like a wheel at all. However, while Civilization: Beyond Earth plays in a very similar way to Civilization 5 (you will easily recognize the hexagonal tiles and the purple colored culture point counter, for instance), the way you play Civilization: Beyond Earth will be very different from how you play Civilization 5.
If one could describe Civilization I through V as the invention of the wheel and its constant refinements and improvements which culminate in the current ‘wheel’ (Civilization 5) that bears minimal resemblance to the original, then Civilization: Beyond Earth is a bunch of people getting together, taking the current wheel, re-dressing it, chipping off a few parts, tacking on a few new ones, calling it a day and insisting the new contraption be called ‘a square.’ You will be pleased to know that such questions don’t exist in Civilization: Beyond Earth, but only because the passage of time isn’t something that is tracked. While many other things have become more detailed and precise in the Civilization games as it matured through I to V, the same bewildering question will always be asked: “Did it seriously take my people two centuries to build that granary?”

In fact these single-choice serial production lines for each one of your cities, which potentially span in-game decades or even centuries, that make you choose between a temple and a soldier unit are a main staple for the Civilization series.
