Humankind: industrial age and present at a glance

Shortly before the start of sales of Humankind (from 47.99 € for pre-order), the amplitude studios presented the later ages (industrial age and present) in more detail in the strategy game. Apart from the fact that railways make the trade routes cheaper and freight aircraft expand the commercial network greatly, coal or oil will become more important. Furthermore, a national and very elaborate space program (satellites for planet observation or moonland project) can be started.

The pollution will also become a relevant topic. Certain districts and infrastructures produce pollution. A high degree of contamination should lead to local level that areas have high to serious losses in stability and most resource yields of their fields. High levels of global air pollution should affect all players and, in the worst case, can lead to the game ends prematurely.

Trains and aircraft also improve the mobility of the armies, whereby the warfare with the introduction of gunpowers is greatly changing. The developers explain: _ Ranged weapons replace melee attacks, cover and highly located positions becomes more important. Infantry must lift up trenches to get a defensive bonus. Machine guns give you another advantage because they chose the opponents to decide between attack and movement , Mighty artillery, aircraft and armored vehicles can dissolve this patt situation and bring movement to fight. _

_ The range of modern weapons is too big to portray them in fighting in Humankind. Instead, the artillery can support the fighting through bombings from afar. So artillery units can support struggles, even if they are not on the battlefield can also target armies outside the struggle or districts on the strategy card. From the late industrial age there are aircraft in the game that radically change the warfare. To use them, you must first build an airfield. Fighter aircraft patrols the surrounding regions, so that the card is uncovered and protected from flush lashes. All aircraft can carry out air bits and damage armies, districts or units in combat. However, strategic bombers and multifunctional aircraft are suitable for this. In addition to fighting jets, you can also build certain ground units and infrastructures You against enemy air slopes to Sch Suit. The most dangerous and destructive weapon in the modern arsenal are atomic missiles. Thus, tension between the nuclear powers should arise because it always can hit all parties. In addition, other riches can vote for disarmament and a grudge against you, even if you do not fire your nuclear missiles. _
