I tried starting Endless Legend sometime last year, I think it was when I found out they are giving the base game for free. Didn't understand much of the game and some random army kicked my ass after 60 or so turns and sieged my city. I quit. Reinstalled it last night after the news. Maybe I...

One idea which I really would've wanted to see and which would've been with crafting, was to have "blank" units which become swordsmen and archers etc. by equipping them with those with a possibility to change later instead of having to produce new units. That would make collecting experience...

I was in and still am in the insider program and the micromanagement problem has been there for a while. A lot of people have talked about it but I guess the development was so far at that point that they weren't able to do anything about it.

I too think it's a good game with few things I'd fix: outsider units can get stuck in a combat zone not able to move at all. There's always on AI with ridiculous amounts of prestige and vassals and practically everything. Religion is the weakest part of the game, it's just perks. Other than...

I've been trying hard to learn this game. Slowly I'm, this latest attempt being the most successful but god damn it can be difficult to understand. I haven't played the previous ones, completely clueless.

For me - and this goes for all the 4x games - the most important thing would be break out of the many 4x traditions and try to find a new way to do things. One day I would like to see the tech tree as it currently is completely removed from 4x games and turned into more involving and reactive...

Tried the demo last night, didn't get far. Actually the first battle animation against some barbarians is where I went to bed instead. Maybe I'm shallow or maybe I was tired but that didn't look good or even make much sense: why have such an animation in the first place if it's not interactive...

One thing I miss both in Civ and in Old World is the ability to find resources on the map. Luxuries and regular resources. Something like horses and elephants stand out well even after bulding cities but luxuries do not. Now someone come and embarrass me and say Old World has that feature and...

This has been considerably better and more fun game for a noob like me. The AI played pretty decently up to turn 100, now it's lost. I'm just building stuff and learning later game techs to see what is doing what. Learning to balance cities is good fun, much more complex than in Civ. This is...

I started a new game, random generated map as instructed. The Just, no AI city advantage and peaceful. It's going better so far, I have time to learn things, the AI is not pushing so hard. A very good game and definitely one - if not the - favorite 4x games I've played but this definitely has a...

Thanks for the tips! The problem with retreating and healing is that then I have less troops doing damage and the AIs armies either concentrate on other units or they force march to the healing unit and kill it off. It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't neverending. Maybe lower levels could...

Trying to learn the game and took the second lowest difficulty. Playing on the Old World map as Rome. Obviously, I'm really bad at the game. Carthage declared a war against me around turn 80 or so. Since then it's been pretty steady stream of troops. I kill one wave, five new armies march...

Turn 66. I don't understand how to get the cities grow so fast in early game that I'd be able to build the Wonders the AI is building.

I think I'm playing too passive and on the same map, playing with Rome. Greece has 26 cities, I have 13. They lead me by 10 points. I'm really bad at warfare in general, in all the games. Bad habit.

I think my biggest problem with Humankind is that it feels so abstract. All the districts and infrastructure just give better and bigger production/science/stability numbers instead of opening something new like building Garrison in Old World for idle units (trains and airports do that in...
