2 updates for #Humankind today:

Humankind is currently 75% off, for 12.49 instead of 49.99.
The discount also applies to all DLC and the whole bundle (basegame + all 6 DLC), which you can get for 24.73.
This sale runs until May 19 on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1124300/HUMANKIND/ and you can discuss it with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/humankind-75-off-until-may-19.698176/

The second part is that the next Beta for Humankind, the Dante Beta, is now available.
Details of this update include that military units will be consuming food and related adjustments, a new persona (surprise: Dante), and challenges have now been disabled (after they were granted to everyone), due to technical glitches in them.
You can read about the update here https://steamcommunity.com/app/1124300/discussions/0/626674265675087109/?snr=1_2108_9__2107 , and discuss it with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/dante-update-beta-available-now.698213/

Scientifically inaccurate in reference to evolution which is branching

PSA: Humankind is free until tomorrow in the Epic Game Store.

I vaguely remember playing a demo or free weekend a couple of years ago and not being overly captivated. But maybe it improved since then. Anyways, can't beat free.

Might be worth playing until Civ VII has at least a year of patches under its belt.

#Epic trollt mich doch. Ich hab vorletzte Woche auf #Steam noch gutes Geld für #Humankind bezahlt. Nicht, dass es das nicht Wert gewesen wäre. Läuft mit #Proton übrigens auch wunderbar unter #linux

As someone who's been playing a lot more #Humankind than #Civ6 for many years now, I'm very curious to see how people compare #Civ7 with HK. My opinion after 2 hours of Civ7 last night is that HK is more fun in almost every way and is somehow still prettier, but I wonder if Civ7's retro-stylings will grow on me.

#Quotes #Conservation #Preservation #Humankind

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
You cannot begin to preserve any species of animal unless you preserve the habitat in which it dwells. Disturb or destroy that habitat and you will exterminate the species as surely as if you had shot it. So conservation means that you have to preserve forest and grassland, river and lake, even the sea itself. This is not only vital for the preservation of animal life generally, but for the future existence of man himself -- a point that seems to escape many people. -Gerald Durrell, naturalist and author (7 Jan 1925-1995)

#Amplitude, the studio behind #Humankind, has announced last weekend https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2024/11/09/amplitude-studios-goes-independent-and-splits-off-from-sega/ that they will become an independent studio, not anymore affiliated with #SEGA. The owners apparently bought the company back, and will probably be looking for another interesting project.

Finally started to enjoy #Humankind - but gosh, I can't get why they didn't get rid of some really simple, but annoying bugs after all the time.

The #map overview at #Humankind is really pretty, while the in game maps are not ideal IMHO.

What do my fellow #4X fans think of the #Civ7 reveal? Civ6 felt like a sideways step for me, and it's seems like the #4X field is getting a bit more crowded with stuff like #Stellaris, #OldWorld, and #Humankind. Do we think #Civilization takes the crown back? Or is the genre gonna be more fragmented with communities forming around several niches.
