  • Here's our take on Humankind, which we've been playing a bit of recently. Amazingly, the developers were kind enough to sponsor this video, check out the game here: bit.ly/Humanki...
    We'd also like to thank Knight's Tower in Norwich for their brilliant efforts to make our medieval combat scenes a bit more lively: / knightstower

    Back in the day, when the unicorns and the dinosaurs roamed the Earth, I played Civ 3 a lot. The key was to change the settings so that everyone else had less of everything and that my preferred country of Germany had a lot of it. As long as I could get modern armor before they got riflemen, things were glorious. Glorious, I tell you!!!!!

    Does Humankind have a "Diaspora" mechanic? Like, your culture isn't dead till the last unit is?

      Well, if you have some influence left, you can indeet restart wit a single unit.
      But its hard to exterminate a whole nation anyway because of the warpoints you need.
