In the cities, you can then construct buildings and districts that focus on economy, influence, production, or food. The map, just as in Endless Legend, is divided into regions and you can have a maximum of one city or outpost in each. The choice gives you different game mechanics, opportunities for war, diplomacy and the like so choose wisely. You then get to choose your first civilisation. When that happens, you also get your first territory. This outpost works in several ways, it can once you build up enough influence become your first city. With this resource, you can then create an outpost (the forerunner to a city). You don't have a city, but you'll be picking up plants, finding food, and trying to build up a resource called "influence". Humankind begins by giving you a couple of explorers in a time before humans settled in cities. The tools are there and the game is user-friendly. At the same time, it's nothing I'm complaining about. It's still a shame that the strategy genre struggles with a good training mode. ![]() They are well done and will guide you as a newbie better. Another solution they have come up with is that you can watch some specially made videos if you need to understand how to play. However, I was so familiar with this form of entertainment that it wasn't a problem for me to dive into the different systems. Instead of a followable and easy-to-follow introduction, we get a bit too much text, information, and the like. I found that it, unfortunately, makes the same mistakes as many others in the genre. An aspect that I still welcome as I miss it.įor new players, there is a text-based tutorial during your first match depending on the difficulty level you choose. The clothes are something that Civilization did away with as early as its third title. As you play, the clothes on your character will change depending on the civilisation you choose and the time period. You also get to choose your empire's symbol and color. At the moment it's mostly looks such as hair, lips, noses, and mouth. The first thing you're faced with when you start is what your avatar will look like. Although the goals are a little different and the journey there is an experience, standing on its own two feet. Basically, Humankind is about the same journey as Sid Meier's famous series. At the same time, there are bits of DNA from Civilization which also seems to have been a big source of inspiration. I also like the cutscenes between time periods and the narrator telling things. The first thing that struck me was how unfamiliar the user interface, fonts, and design felt. If you've tried any of the developer's previous games such as Endless Legend and Endless space then you'll recognise it. So I've been diving into Amplitude Studio's latest work to see if this title is also a heavyweight in the strategy genre. From mankind's early use of fire and tools to the present day, Humankind has self-titled itself via advertising as a Civilization killer. World history and strategy games are a common combination and Civilization is the series that above all others carried the mantra of exploring this. ![]()
