Sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword
After having supplied its game with content, notably with new cultures, Amplitude Studio is ready to bring out the heavy artillery with this big extension, bringing a lot of new mechanics to the game and greatly reinforcing the interest of diplomatic exchanges. Here’s what you can expect in this paid DLC:
- The Congress of Humanity: Participate in an inter-empire forum with the Congress of Humanity. It will allow players to vote and decide on world doctrines and arbitrate international disputes together.
- The embassy : Use this new district to sign agreements beneficial to both empires, such as agreements for training or joint research. You can also use your influence currency to force an empire to take specific actions to your advantage, such as reducing war support or enforcing claims.
- The agents : This new family of units will allow you to gain influence, but also to infiltrate, sabotage and misinform other empires.
- Diplomatic Affinity + six new cultures : The new Diplomatic Affinity allows cultures that have it to play a more active role in world diplomacy.
- Their active ability allows them to demilitarize a territory for 10 turns, while their passive ability allows all their units, in addition to agents, to harvest influence.
- The 6 new cultures are Sumerians, Han Chinese, Bulgarians, Swiss, Scots, and Singaporeans.
- Six new wonders, new story events, new music: Monument Valley, Pamukkale, Chocolate Hills, Eldgjá, the Palace of Versailles, and the headquarters of the Congress of Humanity.
For those who don’t want to get their hands on the wallet, Humankind will still be entitled to a free update that will add new stealth mechanics, revamp independent peoples, enable third-party combat reinforcements, and add new options and UI improvements.
The Together We Rule expansion will be available in the fall of 2022. Humankind will also be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on November 4.
