Unlike games like Civilization where there can be multiple victory conditions, victory in Humankind is based solely on the Fame score after a pre-determined number of turns.

Fame is a persistent measure of the civilization’s relative success compared to other civilizations, and can have impacts on later decisions in the game.

Within these skirmishes, battles can only last for three combat turns before the game returns to the overworld, so that drawn-out wars can occur across multiple years at the overworld scale.ĭuring the game, the players gain resources for their civilization, similar to Endless Legend, which includes food, industry, gold, science, and influence each of these can be spent to speed up production, advance technology, or as trade goods with other cultures. Humankind also includes Fame, which is earned by feats within the game, for example, accumulating influence or gold, destroying units, being the first civilization to discover certain technologies or build world wonders. When this occurs, the game uses a tactical role playing game approach for detailed resolution of these battles, giving the player a chance to take advantage of terrain and special abilities of their units. Players may also need to engage in combat with enemy forces. This allows the creation of large metropolises within each territory. Over time, they can expand that city, adding farms and other outlying resources as well as more dense urban areas closer to the city center. Because a player can select different civilizations as templates to build upon, there exist potentially one million different civilization patterns that a player can ultimately develop.īuilding out cities follows a similar model from Amplitude’s Endless Legend game, a continent in Humankind will have multiple territories on it, and the player will only be able to build one city in that territory. A distinguishing feature of Humankind is that within each of the eras, the player selects one of ten civilization types based on historical societies this selection offers both bonuses and penalties to how the player can build out the civilization.

Players lead their civilization across six major eras of human civilization, starting from the nomadic age, directing how the civilization should expand, developing cities, controlling military and other types of units as they interact with other civilizations on the virtual planet, randomly generated at the start of a new game.

Humankind is a 4X game comparable to the Civilization series.
