They would be unable to harvest resources from those tiles but for you they'd be the best tiles in the game etc. The resulting Fungus would be like a road for you while hindering your enemy's movement. You could make use of tactics like throwing Fungus missles at your enemy.

Instead of fearing the deadly Xenofungus you would boldly tromp through it to find new Mindworms to make friends with. In AC going for a Planet scenario would more often lead to you planting forests and even sowing fungi. In BE you might be going the Harmony path, but you'll probably have cities filled with planet destroying mines everywhere. The ways to express yourself and your faction's ideology also show up in the gameplay. Compare that with the 1 liners we get from every other Civ game and you can see the difference. Each tech not only has a voiced quote that fleshes out the relevant leader who voices it, but has an extra blurb detailing the theoretical applications of the tech. The differing leaders with colorful personalities and strong agendas perfectly sets the scene for both conflict and friendship. Normal Civ games kind of ride off of history for that backbone but AC had to craft it from scratch. While each leader is an over the top caricature, they are also full of character and have realized goals/personalities. To put things in perspective, AC probably has the most amazing story/lore density/atmosphere out of all the future-civ games I've played. I didn't expect BE to have the same dark atmosphere and cynical outlook on humanity's future that AC had of course, but what I wanted out of BE was a lot more lore.

I was lead to believe it would be something like Alpha Centauri 2. For me it was ultimately a matter of expectations.
