Sad but also welcome so that way you have time to make an even better 4X than what you already have.Now that I think about it, there's an interesting gameplay progression from the Frankish Franci Milites with their improved charge to the French Cuirassiers with their even more improved charge...
Now, on to business, though: I come bearing news that may not be unexpected, but may be unpleasant to hear for some:
We've decided to move the release until August 17th.
The short version of it is that while many said Humankind was great in the OpenDev, many also said it could be even better, and we want to take the time to make it so.
The long version is available over on Games2Gether, including a list of what we're working on.
Thanks for the news! Looking forward to more as always.
