This is about the journey through history and not the destination.“In something like Civ (I know, I shouldn’t always compare this to that), it’s important to decide which victory condition you’re going for early on (like science, culture, religious, military, or diplomatic) and work towards that across thousands of years. You can pivot a bit, but really it’s best to decide when picking your civilisation. That’s not quite how it’ll go in Humankind, where players can change to a different civ across each of the six eras. Different civs have different unique units, buildings, and enduring perks so there are benefits to switching, though not switching will get you bonus Fame instead. I think that’s how all this works?I’m very interested to see how all this comes together. It’s hard to speculate about quite how such a complex game will come together, especially when my natural inclination is to imagine how these systems would work in Civilization. This isn’t Civ. I can’t wait to see what it is.Humankind is due tohit Steamlater in 2020. For now, you can learn more bits and pieces inAlice Bee’s preview from Augustas well as videos aboutorigins,terrain, andclaiming territory.
