Humankind - the Civ killer?

[The Brain]

I don't know. Sounds Russian to me.

There is a week long free beta play through of, I think 100 turns.  They just ask that you answer some questions when you finish it.  You can replay it as many times as you want during the week.

Thanks for that CC, nice find, I'll give it a go.

Any of you who try it, please AAR here

Not really enough turns for an ARR.

But there is a lot going on.  Interesting choices to make regarding civics, religious values, diplomacy, along with the usual tech and development.  I really like the fact city zones are as big as you want to build them.

Yes, its going to be a great game.  But easy enough for you to see for yourself.  You just need to sign up to Stadia with an email address and decline all their offerings.

Dman. I'll have forgotten about it by then.

Jesus, these timelines.  Paradox would already be on their fourth DLC by this point, and only a year or two away from having a working game.

From December 15th at 16:00 CET (10:00 EST, 7:00 PST) to December 28th at 16:00 CET, anybody who has pre-purchased Humankind on Steam can try out the new (English language only) Lucy OpenDev.

This is the biggest OpenDev scenario we have released yet: four full eras and seven AI opponents! Lead your people for more than 100 turns from the Neolithic to the end of the Early Modern Era and try any of the forty different cultures in these eras. Ten thousand potential combinations should keep even the most dedicated of our players busy for a while!

I shall report back

I really like the design of this game.  So many meaningful decisions; so many options for development; so much flexibility.

So much replayability potential
