Updates, cultures, and announcements, oh my... Today is a busy day for Humankind. So, let’s rest for a moment and take a closer look at all of this, starting with...
The Bolivar Update
There are many improvements, big and small, in the Bolivar Update. Too many to describe in detail here, but here’s a quick overview of some key improvements:
- "Force Surrender” is not mandatory anymore
- Natural Wonders have unique effects
- Civics show their unlock conditions
- Infrastructures show their expected yield
- AI bonuses on higher difficulties scale over time
- New Luxury Resource distribution settings
- And more!
Free Culture: The Mississipians
Unlocked during a recent community challenge, the Mississippians (sometimes known as the Cahokians) join Humankind as a Builder culture in the Medieval era who are especially adept at exploiting rivers.
You can also grab the Mississippian Soundtrack and a Wallpaper Pack of their culture art (and all the cultures in the Cultures of Latin America DLC as well!) on Games2gether. Click here to download !
Cultures of Latin America DLC
On top of the improvements of the Bolivar Update and the Mississippian Culture, we are releasing the Cultures of Latin America DLC. This culture pack is available right now, bringing the following content to your game:
- Six new Cultures: Caralan (Era 1 Builders), Nazca (Era 2 Aesthete), Taino (Era 3 Agrarian), Inca (Era 4 Expansionist), Argentinians (Era 5 Merchants), and Cubans (Era 6 Aesthete)
- Two new Cultural Wonders: Teotihuacan Pyramid of the Sun (Era 2) and Maracana Stadium (Era 6)
- Four new Natural Wonders: Desert of Atacama, Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, Salar de Uyuni, Salto Angel
That’s all for now, but there’s more coming! We’re still working to bring you consistent and flavorful empire names to immerse you in the game world. We’re also continuing to balance cultures, and have been tweaking line of sight rules for battles (as we've heard feedback on both from many of you). And then there’s... No, we can’t spoil that yet, but if we were you, we’d stay tuned!
