4X game Humankind released just over a month ago, and while the developers release new fixes for the most pressing issues, the community is busy putting the strategy game through its paces. Recently we saw how broken some of the wonders are, and this week someone managed to win a match in just 58 turns.
User CheekyM0nk3Y shared proof of their accomplishment on the HumankindTheGame subreddit, ending the game via a 'science' win and getting five times the victory score as the AI in second place. This is pretty impressive, all things considered, although we're not sure if there's an existing record for this kind of speedrun as of yet.
CheekyM0nk3Y breaks down the strategy behind this run. Originally they managed a 96 turn and a 76 turn science win in quick succession. In trying to shave off a couple more turns from that personal record, they accidentally stumbled across an even better route that led them to the 58 turn win. "[The] strategy was to go super wide and just ignore influence completely," they explain.
