In the second episode of our Let's Play: HUMANKIND - Top Difficulty series, we start the Ancient Era and have some critical decisions to make about how to spend early game influence. Additionally, our neighboring culture makes some moves that will have a huge impact moving forward. In review, I also made some errors that could have improved our outlook, but we strive onwards!

Hard to find good content on my prefferred difficulty. Keep the humankind content coming.

@MadishMoose 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the kind words. No plans to end the HUMANKIND content anytime soon! :)

44:29 this is why I never sign non aggression pact and make some warriors asap in ancient or stack 4 scouts to have a reaction force xD cause the dumb AI loves to screw up your plans and just randomly places such outposts

@MadishMoose 4 месяца назад

The AI do tend to make weirdly aggressive claims, but usually they make some sense, like a resource being in the territory. I like non-aggression pacts if I am trying to avoid going to war too early, but they can certainly backfire when claiming land.

I know it’s to little to late but for future reference any unit can grab leverage off the map when you’re playing a diplo culture.

@MadishMoose Месяц назад

Yah, this was brought up, and it is a super handy feature of the Diplo cultures, especially because a lot of them are not particularly strong.

Very informative content man keep it up love the in depth thought process break downs 🤓

@MadishMoose 10 месяцев назад

Will do! Glad it is helpful. I often think that maybe all the thought process content makes the videos too long or slow, but I like doing it that way. Hopefully, the content stays useful! :)

I haven't played Humnkind for a very long time, but as far as I remember, my main focus was on Influence, because it seemed to me as the most importent resource in the beginning...

@MadishMoose 8 месяцев назад

Agreed, early game influence is the key to setting up a successful HUMANKIND game. Seems like everything costs influence, so making critical choices about where to spend that influence based on the map and situation you find yourself in drives the direction of the game at the beginning. Mid-game influence is still moderately useful, but then late-game influence is really quite useless (it does get you stars, of course).

Better to cut trees around the capital than disband

@MadishMoose 4 месяца назад

Perhaps, I do not do a lot of chopping, mostly because I always intend to exploit as many of those tiles as I can and almost always have Abstain from Intoxicants as a tenet to boost those yields. That said, I could definitely chop more, especially on tiles where I plan to place districts anyways.

I played ES2 and EL and loved those, so when Humankind came out, I was excited, but felt a bit let down. Now I want to get back into it, so glad I found this series. Is there every any reason to take the opposite of influence on plaza + discounted outpost? When a choice has an obvious inferior option, it doesnt become a choice anymore...

@MadishMoose 9 месяцев назад

Glad you are getting back into HUMANKIND! They have done a great job improving and expanding the game. In my opinion, the nice thing about the Civics choices in HK is that there are situations where you might choose either. Now early game, influence on plaza and discounted outpost are pretty much going to be the way to go every time, but then mid-game you will want to switch from discounted outpost for sure and maybe even change away from influence on plaza. Changing Civics based on the when and what of your game's situation is an overlooked aspect of HK, I think, and it is one of the things that make Civics unique in the game.

I was just hoping for this about 10 mins ago 🎉

@MadishMoose 10 месяцев назад

I try for release every Sunday around this time! :) Glad you are enjoying the series, I am having a lot of fun with it!

@jakubsowa3225 8 месяцев назад

Your content is great, I really like your style. Only thing that is an issue for me is low quality of videos even on 1080p it looks like lower quality. But it looks that only applies to game recording?

@MadishMoose 8 месяцев назад

This should have been remedied as of Episode 8 of this series. I was unknowingly recording in 720p and without some optimized recording settings. I adjusted things, so hopefully you will see an improvement. Those changes were in place starting with Episode 8. I never noticed these things, because I only ever watch my videos as I am editing or on my phone, never on a tv or larger screen. Let me know if you see an improvement with Episode 8.

@jakubsowa3225 8 месяцев назад

@@MadishMoose I will let you know, for sure I will watch all the series as It's really great both from playstyle and narrative standpoint :)

@MadishMoose 8 месяцев назад

Also, can confirm the difference between episode 7 and the new recording settings in episode 8 is significant. I can't believe folks did not comment on this prior to these past couple weeks! Thanks for putting up with the lower quality videos, they are much better now!
