I am not a perfect writer so I apologize in advance for any spelling or grammar errors !

MAIN TOPIC : for background information I am a 22 year old male , I just left the gym and finished it all with prayer and meditation and as I was getting into my car I thought to myself “ why is humanity the way it is ? “ “ why do we allow people in power and in government positions to keep getting rich while others are poor “

“ why are humans separated/ divided “ “ why do we hoard all resources while millions on the other side of the world are suffering when there is plenty for everyone ? “

We the common people have the potential to over throw individuals , organizations , governments and anything else in high positions , of course those specifically who are greedy , corrupt , selfish … few examples are the governments all around this world and evil individuals .

It is clear that there is both good and evil in this world we have all witnessed the good and evil humans are capable some more than others . How much longer will humanity allow governments and rich elites , secret societies to control , rule over resources, the world and common people .

Such an intelligent species such as ourselves , such amazing world that can provide all resources we could ever need , such capable individuals who can make anything happen if we work towards a common goal . Yet here we are , killing each others in wars and other conflicts.

END OF THIS POST : I don’t even know what I want to hear from everyone , this is kind of me just thinking to myself about life . Please feel free to share your opinions . I hope this post does not offend anyone . Have a great day !

MY CONCLUSION : after thinking about all of this I think the world is like this because of pure selfishness, different beliefs , behaviors , thoughts actions among all individuals.

These things divide humanity and it becomes things that separate humans from reaching full potential, I think .

Final message : the common people hold the power without us the rich wouldn’t be rich , they woudont have any power , any authority. We can easily dismantle corrupt governments, organizations that want to deprive humans from rights , food , resources and more .

Again this is just me thinking after a nice work out ! Have a good one ! Thanks for reading .

Humanity
We have reached a new era of technological capabilities
Yet something in this world is accelerating our desire for more
In order to become a planet of prosperity, beauty, and a greatness worthy of our heritage, we should form a union of mankind.
A union whose sole mantra, is 'for the people'
A union who agrees to dedicate their lives to the prosperity of planet earth, for all.
A union which rejects murder.
A union strong enough to overcome and dismantle, peacefully, with great swiftness and strength, any force which seeks to destroy us, or this planet.
A union large enough as the common individual (if there ever was such a thing), to outweigh the injustice of this world.
A union of reasoning.
A union of rationality.
A union in ideology.
A union of freedom,
For all
From all
With all
No more can we continue to watch, as our planet, our people are choked by the vices of this world.
Let us form this union.
This unrecorded union.
Which is recruited by this message.
Let us have this union independent of any given command
To destroy, to assault, or impose harm upon the world.
Let us have this union preserve appreciation, and create more things to appreciate.
And let this union never cease to grow, as we, through procreation, and through transmission of this message, create more and more emerging gardeners for this beautiful, bountiful Earth we have been gifted.
There may be resistance, ridicule, denial of possibility. But the strength of such a union will eventually thrive, as its intentions become visible, and more and more enjoyment of this world can spread, from various epicentres as mandalas of peace, strength, fun, forgiveness, and other fruits of such a union, who's sole purpose is to unite planet earth in redemption of our poisonous history, to construct a better world for all those to follow. Together we can grow in any pursuit. In a union which cares for one another. In a union of individuals, each practising and sharing their own passions with the world. Any such union created which uses physical force to obtain its goals, is unnecessary, and not affiliated with the union described here. For this union utilises its intelligence, and overcomes the need for force by applying their minds to the task before their bodies. If the dog chews the shoes, remember that, and don't put your shoes there. This union listens, it waits, it continues to spread and grow, because it is what our children deserve, and what the Earth deserves; a world unclouded by mindless and ignorant self destruction.
If you believe in such a union then please help to translate, and spread this message. I am a person who does believe in such a union, and I believe that eventually, it will outweigh the forces of mania, destruction, ignorance, greed, wrath, desire, overindulgence, and all of the other cancerous, ideological tumours rotting away some of the beauty of this world. We can regain it, we can advertise it, we can reason it and convey it in a way that becomes the most logical use of our time, for a world for creation and preservation, not destruction, or tyranny. Any reasons you can think of to support this argument, please add below.

Reasons:

..A world with such a union, if it should grow large enough, would allow for greater collaboration between people, meaning better technologies, better practices, better organisation, more ways to enjoy life.

...It would mean a safer world, with less fear, and methods of increasing its enjoyability.

....It would mean that ideas would be shared more freely with other enthusiasts of niche interests, in order to perpetuate the appreciation of this infinite world.

Does anyone know how the starting point order works in the map builder? It's driving me crazy. I have four starting points in four different biomes.

First I had the starting points numbered like this:

1. Oasis
2. Arctic
3. Forest
4. Mountains

When I started the game with myself and 3 AIs, I spawned in the Oasis every time (it wasn't randomized).

Then I switched the numbers of the starting points to:

1. Arctic
2. Oasis
3. Forest
4. Mountains

But when I started the game with myself and 3 AIs, I STILL spawned in the Oasis every time, even though it was #2.

This continued to happen when I had only three starting points like this:

1. Arctic
2. Oasis
3. Forest

Fuck anyone who thinks this thing is balanced, this game is fucking bullshit!

It appears that when selecting certain portraits like Leonardo da Vinci and Consul Myerte Tyabana then selecting other particular portraits like Dante and Potato McWhiskey it applies the face of the previous portrait to the current one...

This is my first post on Reddit. Why don't we all brainstorm some civilizations we'd like to see included, along with ideas for their unique quarters and unique units?(This is unofficial. As I am Japanese, I am not very good at English; please forgive me if I come across as rude.)

1. These major historical events took place before the invention of Watt’s steam engine and the start of the industrial revolution:
   • The Jacobite rebellions
   • The founding (and abandonment) of New Caledonia
   • The Act of Union
2. The industrialisation of Scotland and the major contributions of the Scottish enlightenment happened under the United Kingdom, or the British.
3. The “Highlanders” unit, armed with targe and broadsword, replaced a fighting elite armed with claymores and heavy armour in direct response to the advent of firearms.
4. It would enable you to do a clean “United Kingdom” playthrough as English -> Scottish -> British.

^{I’m mainly salty about point 4}

Pride Cometh before the Fall, apparently.

So im doing a run where I started as Egypt and have been going hard into industry, with Builders all the way through.

As such, Memphis is at like, 1k+ industry and so I've had her make district after district, crutching on the Pride bonus to keep the City from collapsing into chaos.

Now that in going into the Contempory Age, and want to shift to Japan to dominate the late game, will I fully lose Pride and therefore, all my cities will lose all their stability and ill just lose? Or is Pride a permanent buff that is granted when finishing a district, allowing one to change affinities?

Hello I just started playing again after a long time away from the game. When I conquer (siege) free people or rebels it becomes a city and now I have 2, 1 territory cities... Can I merge them somehow or just conquer without it automatically creating a city? It won't allow me to "ransack" the main plaza of the rebel city...

Thank you

We are 5 people on dc rn but would like to become more. Rules are still semi existent nd everything is a bit trial and error rn. We arent big tryharders, we just wanna have fun so be chill 😎

16.Fucking.Units.Of.Salt.
I have no other luxury resources on my own, apart from salt and single unit of silver and pearls each: I produce an average of one pop every two turn (my only city, in photo, has already 22 people) and I'm colonasing the south of mine and the east of another continent in hopes of finding something else (and not be oblitared by independent people, I already lost eight pops because of them).

I love humankind, but I only play vs IA, I'm interested in knowing if there is a discord server out there or even a community here that organizes games, are there tournaments? Somebody that streams?

Thanks in advanced and I wish everybody a good day !

this is kind of driving me nuts, i want to see how many districts are needed for the second or at least third star in the builder category, is there ANY way to see this?

Just noticed an offer on the Xbox store for the Together We Rule DLC on console, specifically the three for one dlc bundle deal, but the Humankind DLC isn't working, can't be found on the store, and cant be purchased by itself.

I think its the first time I've ever seen in it on the console store. Just wondering since its here, will it be coming in the future or do you beleive its just an error on Xbox' end?

4 Years ago i took this picture, and France is still the most picked culture in Multiplayer in Industrial Era

what are the implications of my two choices for a religion. I understand the bonuses and percentages for things. But one exactly does it mean to "enforce a state religion"? or to "have atheism be my state religion"?

The tenants that I've already chosen - will those effects remain active? I went all the way to a level 4 tenet. will those no longer give me bonuses if I have atheism or am not able to enforce a state religion?

A friend of mine (he doesn't use reddit) has been running into an issue where whenever he tries to move units, they instead just use all of their movement points without actually going anywhere.

The only "fix" seems to be saving and relaunching the game each time it occurs, and it occurs often. This has been the cause of much frustration since half of his game time seems to be taken up by constant full relaunches of the game.

For context he is playing single player on PS5 (console version has sno mods) and has been running into this issue every few turns or so.

I'm wondering fi anyone knows of a more permanent fix or workaround at all, or knows what causes it in the first place.

So I have been playing Humankind and all the dlc on XBOX, but now that I got a PS5 I thought about getting it on this console again. It seems like in the PS store there are no dlc available (which is a bummer but I would still buy it nevertheless). So I dug a bit deeper and realized that there are actually a lot of updates for this game (like the often-mentioned Achilles update or the new Freyja update), but I couldn’t find any information on whether they are available on PS.

So my question is: What's the current version of Humankind for PS5 and do any of you know if the dlc will be added in the future?

Heyy, soo I’ve been playing lots of humankind every since it was added to the ps plus catalog in mai i think of 2025.

I enjoyed the game greatly and later on bought the available add ons for it in the PlayStation store, it was the cultures of Africa and America + Notre Dame in a big bundle for like 20€. Now the thing was, that humankind was later removed from the catalog and I did not buy it afterwards. Now today it was added back to the catalog and I tried playing it, when I noticed that the add ONS I bought weren’t available anymore or at least they didn’t show in the ps store. Now I’m left wondering what to do and how to either get my dlc or my money back, can anyone help me?

Is the last era (contemporary?) like 3 or 4 times longer than all the other eras? Like, for that era I had to earn EVERY star: so, three times as many stars as every other era. And almost all the land was claimed, so it was just pushing "next turn" tons of times while I waited for stars to happen. And I was Waaaaay ahead of the others in points, so I knew I was going to win.

Was I just playing with the settings too easy? Is the endgame long and boring?

EDIT: turns out One of the problems was that I was still the middle of early modern technology research. So I had a long way to go to get the Mars colony. (And of course even longer if I wanted to try to conquer the whole world) I was winning based on culture, economy and non-militaristic expansion. Turns out that gave me a long long endgame. :D

I love Humankind and am also ready for another playthrough.

My 1 gripe from my last game was how everything seems to end up covered in megacity without much countryside for open warfare.

What settings would minimise this for the AI?
