A new game “Humankind” has me pretty excited. It’s made by the folks that did Endless Legend and a space 4x (can’t remember the name but fun). They are a smaller software company but got a big investment by SEGA to make a large budget 4x.
It looks similar to CIV in some ways but some cool differences:
You accumulate “fame” for various things you do. War, science, culture, building great works etc. you dont have to focus on one aspect.
You don’t pick a culture. To show how cultures mixed and changed over time you pick a culture at each age with various bonuses. Kind of like Celts->Rome->Saxons->Norse are cultural influences of England. The one catch is you advance ages by fame and it’s first come first pick of cultures for a new age.
Cities are huge. Much less stress to find that perfect site.
Anyway, its on my radar and wanted to share
