English: Emblematic District effect has been returned from +10 to +5 Stability.

Mycenaeans: Emblematic District effect has been decreased from +15 to +10 Stability, from +3 to +2 Combat Strength for Units in or adjacent to the District. Assyrians: Emblematic District effect has been decreased from + 10 to +5 Stability. Districts Production Cost formula has been changed, now it increases slower, but depends on Era Level to better match with Infrastructures. Science Agreement effect has been changed from +5% Science on Empire to +10% Science on Capital. In addition to this, 6 new wonders will be added to your game.- Breaking Alliance now has -30 War Support penalty and -10 War Support penalty for each agreement signed. While we don’t know exactly what these events will look like yet, the 4 inter-empire events are likely to do with The Congress of Humankind and will be very impactful to every game they appear in. The Humankind: Together We Rule expansion pack will introduce 15 new narrative events including 4 inter-empire events. Hopefully, going forward this will add a much-needed balance to the game. This created a problem for players who wanted to focus on diplomacy as we started every game at a disadvantage. That said, up until now, fame has been most easily earned by military strength and the ability to expand. As someone who doesn’t think about military tactics and who has problems with resource management that make it difficult to expand, diplomacy is one area of 4X strategy games in that I have the ability to excel. I’m probably more ex cited about Diplomatic Affinity than any other part of this expansion. The 6 cultures with Diplomatic Affinity are: Diplomatic Affinity also helps players who are interested in diplomatic play to earn fame by collecting Diplomatic Stars by collecting leverage. Normally, only Agents can collect leverage but for the 6 cultures with Diplomatic Affinity, any unit has the ability to collect leverage on their neighbors. Anything that takes away the need for absolute military might is a welcome addition to Humankind in my opinion.ĭiplomatic Affinity is a new cultural ability that gives an empire the ability to demilitarize a territory for 10 turns and also allows all of their units to collect leverage.

These new units should add a layer to the gameplay of Humankind that should help it feel less shallow. They can temporarily disable the functionality of a district and they can disorganize another empire’s army.

The spymaster has two additional abilities that can sabotage other empires. Closely related to that is the spymaster. Spies can exploit a district, steal resources, and track other players’ military movements. The spy has the power to infiltrate other empires by less conventional means. As they do so they will influence Independent people and gather leverage against your neighbors. The envoy, a diplomat, can move across empire borders without restriction. The units in the Agent family are called Envoys and Spies. Agents will specifically be used to increase your leverage against other empires. To aid in this will be a new family unit called Agents. Players who like diplomacy in 4X strategy games will now have more opportunities to earn fame without relying on military strength and expansion to do so. Sadly, there is still no way for players to win decisive diplomatic victories but this is a step in the right direction. Leverage points can be spent here to force other players to do things for your benefit like affecting war support and making demands. Here, players can sign agreements to work together in areas like training and research. Leverage is a new currency in Humankind that will allow players to force diplomatic issues, alongside a new Quarter to aid in Diplomacy, the Embassy. According to Amplitude, “The congress will allow players to vote and decide on global doctrines and arbitrate international conflicts together.” This innovative new feature is sure to add a new level of diplomacy to Humankind but will be enhanced by more of the features coming with it. The Congress of Humankind is an inter-empire forum akin to the UN for players in Humankind. This expansion pack will introduce many new features to Humankind including The Congress of Humankind.
