Virtues in Civilization: Beyond Earth can determine the course of your civilization, and can grant bonuses depending on how far into the virtue tree you travel, as well as the breadth of your investments. All virtues can be expanded into three tiers, each with specific breadth and depth benefits. For the sake of brevity, sections below have been created only if they have known values; when the game releases, all Virtues will have Depth Rewards, and three Tiers.
