Introduction:
The goal of this mod is to create a longer, more interesting, and realistic end game experience with the addition of new technologies and military units and tweaks to existing unit strength, production, and pollution to keep it overall balanced. I tried to make this mod as compatible as possible with other mods by putting most new units and bonuses spread over the new Technologies, and no changes to any cultures, or civics. The new Technologies also help to make the Industrial and Contemporary Era last significantly longer, especially the late Industrial and early Contemporary era (WW1/WW2) period.
Nuclear Proliferation:
Nuclear weapons have become more useful (with increased range) and accessible (with reduced minimum strategic resource requirements) and with the addition of a true ICBM weapon (unlocked after researching Rocket Science and developing Thermal Nuclear Weapons) making it more likely they are built and actually used by the AI with devastating effects. The state of Nuclear weapons proliferation is made more intuitive as the National Nuclear Weapon Test Programs strategic resource requirements are made the same as the missile weapons they unlock, meaning if someone manages to build a nuclear weapon test project (including ICBM weapon test), they can also build and use them (given they also constructed a Missile Silo).
Science:
In order to create a more historically accurate experience, it was necessary to restructure the tech tree with separate branches starting at the end of the industrial era. Starting from the modern age the minimum research cost increases up to double the cost for the end game technologies. The final research cost depends inversely on the number of unlocked technologies, meaning the more technologies you have unlocked from a previous technology generation, the relatively easier it becomes to research additional technologies. This mechanic makes beelining technologies (skipping technologies) excessively expansive and the most economical way to unlock the entire tech tree is to always choose the cheapest unlockable technologies. These changes and the introduction of many new technologies have the effect of creating a significantly longer end game and it is therefore recommended you disable the turn limit when creating a new game.
New Technologies:
Both naval, land, and air units have been added and existing units are tweaked to achieve a longer more satisfying end game experience. The naval unit's role progressively gets more important as the era advances with longer attack and bombardment ranges. Combat has been been made more interesting with new rock scissor paper mechanics between the classes. For example, Submarines are more effective versus Battleship, Destroyers are more effective versus Submarines and Battleship are more effective versus Destroyers. Classes now progress through identifiable WW1, WW2, Cold War en Stealth era generation, making it feel more historically accurate. The early (WW1) units have reduced strategic resource requirements, making them more likely to appear in combat.
While maintaining a minimum strategic resource requirement, Unitcost is no longer fixed but depends on the excess availability of strategic resources. This means that units will be more accessible and will be easier to upgrade, but at increased construction cost or gold price (up to double the base cost).
New Naval units:
New Land units:
New Air units:
Transportation
Besides the addition of two intermediate transport vessels during the medieval and industrial era, naval Transporting has been augmented; The Type of unit can now have an effect on the combat strength and attack range of the Naval transport, making them more strategically important
Naval transport modifiers:
Pollution in vanilla Humankind was a serious problem in late-game which needs to be corrected to keep the game playable and not prohibit the player strategic options with late-game military districts and infrastructure. Pollution will now mostly be unavoidable but its effects will be more gradual and less shocking and public order can be mitigated by giving your population fewer industrial and science occupations and more financial and agricultural occupations.
Global Warming:
I general it is recommended to load this mod before any other humankind mods.

- Solar Farm now generate -20% pollution in all districts instead of its normal pollution reduction
- Nuclear Plant now generate -15% pollution in all districts instead of their normal pollution reduction
- Sewage System now generate -10% pollution in all districts instead of its normal pollution reduction
- Factory Farming, Industrial Silos, Anti-Air Surveillance, Command Compound, Tech Park, Financial District, Surface-to-Air Missile, and Supercomputer Lab do not generate pollution anymore.
- Bomb Shelters are unlocked earlier with Bunker Construction (at end of the Industrial Era)
- Saltpeter Extractors now produce 1 pollution.
- Coal Extractors now produce 3 pollution.
- Oil Extractors now produce 2 pollution.
- Aluminum Extractors now produce 1 pollution.
- Uranium Extractors now produce 2 pollution.
- Train Stations now produce 1 pollution instead of 5.
- Aerodromes now produce 1 pollution instead of 5, can be built at outposts but requires access to oil
- Airports now produce 3 pollution instead of 15.
- Missile Silos now produce 2 pollution instead of 15.
- Attaching a Territory reduces Public Order by 10 instead of 20
I general it is recommended to load this mod before any other humankind mods.
- compatible with End Game Science Conversion, but should be loaded last
- compatible with Docktor Cain Vanilla Improvement Project, but it requires you to load the ENC VIP Compatible Patch last
- mostly compatible with Deep Sea Mod, but for the best experience, you should also load the DeepSea Compatibility Patch last
- mostly compatible with Super Pack for Humankind Mod, but for the best experience, you should also load the Superpack Compatibility Patch last
- mostly compatible with Official ENDLESS™ Mod, but for the best experience, you should also load the Techtree Patch for Extended Naval Combat last
- not compatible with Nuclear Missiles Mod but it is already integrated
- not compatible with Docktor Kain's Pollution Rework, but it is already integrated
