Playing Humankind sessions in between Potato's tutorial uploads is like having Sun Tzu whispering filth into your ear at dinner with your girlfriend's parents.
@@PotatoMcWhiskey Sun Tzu, whispers - “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” Me - '......' GF's father across the dinner table - ''Ahem, would you pass the potatoes please?''
One thing to keep in mind is that unique harbours like the Cothon all count as different harbours, meaning you can have one of each per territory. It can be quite silly going as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and the Norsemen because then you have so many harbours littered throughout your coastline, all of which gain adjacency bonuses from each other. Then add in the Dutch building that gives +20 gold per harbour and you'll be rolling in so much gold.
I would like to see you try a naval focused playthrough some time. My first game I tried the Phoenecians, and felt like naval units weren't all that impactful, so I'd like to see someone more experienced give it a try
They are much more effective in the Early Modern era onwards. Not so much for pitched naval battles, but because the ships can fire in during land battles. That extra fire support makes a massive impact. Even more so when you get battleships and aircraft carriers which can assist battles from very long ranges.
@@justinhoff4517 ahahah I mean he spent 80 influence to assimilate them when the civic for city cap was 79 influence and he had like 100 so yeah, definitely not great sequencing there.
The only thing I think you forgot to mention with transition into the new era is that you lose the ability to build the last emblematic district including those in que. It is always good to finish those. Love the series though, keep up the great content.
@@TheLonelyBrit Well, I'm not sure if you can mod the Game Pass PC versions of games. The only way that I can think of getting a Earth map is if the devs add in an update with one.
@@KarolusImperator 1. The game has an mod like screen for things like the mapmaker. 2. Even if that didn't exist people would have used roaming folder or steam folder or the steam workshop.
As for the "you can win basically any battle by having more units than your opponent" while true, I had a fight with a single Spearman, mine, against two archers and I think a horse scout. My Spearman killed an archer, the horseman, and wounded the last archer before he died.
Even with potatoes tips, battles feel a bit all over the pace for me. In one game I got attacked by a much bigger army and some save scumming got me widely different results. Even when doing the same basic moves with the same units, small things and RNG make a huge difference. Tbh, I actually don't really like the combat in this game. Sure, it is great that there are way more concepts to use then for example in civ but it feels not very streamlined into a consistent gameplay where you win because you did the correct things. Also, the AI is quite inconsistent in their performance in my experience. Edit: especially when multiple units are low on health one roll of the dice makes huge differences between winning and loosing.
Hearing Potato talk about how sometimes it's ok to not make the most optimized decision, in favour of just playing the game and having fun really makes me want to see him and CallMeKevin in a match together, just so we can see that statement in action, live.
You've helped me understand the basics quite a bit with these videos. I don't tend to have a lot of time for gaming and as such if learning the systems and mechanics takes too long, it becomes very frustrating when when I do play. When I finally get this one, your advise will have given me the edge needed to push through the initial confusion and uncertainty. Thank you.
Egyptian to Greek seems very good, Build up the infrastructure as Egypt, then convert all that production to science and rush research. working out these combos is really fun.
I played my first humankind game without any prep and sort of flailed about. I did.... okay, but I wasn't going to win. This series has really helped me realize what I was doing wrong and how to improve!
What really irks me is how weak the crossbowmen and gunners feel in Medieval and Early Modern compared to Archers when it comes to attacking ranged. With how vision works on steep maps, it's difficult to be able to effectively position my ranged units to actually hit enemies without having to resort being at melee range because they "cant see the enemy". Like FFS either shoot them or i'm going to delete you.
Yea the line of sight mechanic is confusing I tried to move in to the enemy in point blank only to be told the unit are not allowed to attack after moving, I almost smashed my keyboard
Yeah it's confusing. They can't shoot units that are 2 elevations above or below them and that friendly units will block your LOS even if they're at a higher elevation than the friendly unit. And none of this is explained.
Archers fire at an arc over obstacles and your own units. Crossbows and firearms do not. I don't know about crossbows irl (I would guess they can arc fire them), but you cannot shoot through your own troops with firearms. Firing at targets who are above you is difficult with firearms, since the target can simply drop down and the shooter can not see or possibly hit the target.
I’m glad you haven’t been showing the movies Potato, cuz them shits is soooooo good! Also, when you mentioned that part of the fun in games is *not* playing optimally, I heard thousands voices cry out in pain, as if their approach to min-maxing efforts in WoW were suddenly snuffed out…
Won my first game on normal dif. Basically I found a peninsula and pumped up production then district construction. Use district adjacentcy : makers, research quarters 70 %; the rest into food, common, trade, garrisons. Build all relevant infrastructure as soon as possible. I sat on 3 cities 3 outposts till about turn 200 then I expanded into some neutral territory. Egypt, egypt, Khmer, Joseon?, siamese, Egypt. Production & science for easy win. Tip : dont over expand.
The slavery ransack option works just as advertised; you get +1 to the nearest territory/city. In my 1st game, I had this and had several aggresive neutrals around me. Pumped up my city fast. If I remember correctly, I think I got this even on ransaking an animal lair.

Going from +134 to 240 something. Yeah, I think it increased my influence a little bit. 🤣
Thanks Potato it is 1 am and turn 90 did the same as what you did in this episode Egypt then Persians. Took out green Huns they are now my vassal, pink is attacking me with Celts, the war for the first city they attacked has gone on for over 5 turns, I am just pushing in more and more troops. My third pick was Khmer and there war elephant will be joining the fight for the city. Production in my cities are crazy the Khmer district is giving 20 -40 production and if you have two attached outpost to a city that 60 - 120 production in each city. Great game so far. This game will just take all your time before you know it, and you are to blame Potato, thanks. LOL
I think it could be a genuine strat to expand fast in the early game to 4 cities, getting 4 production ques aswell as the yields from 4 cities. yes you will go into the negative for influence but just switch to a science/influnce culture in the medieval era, then youll soon get the city cap techs and you will start snowballing very quickly.
i once had all the a.i go from friendly to aggressive and i don't know how it happened is it because i didn't have a proper army cuz i really only had scouts
Wait,. Is the best first three cultures harrapins, then goths, then mongles, because you grow really big, get a pillaging bonus, then get a unit that duplicates if you pillage enough
Nah Mongols aren't that great. Huns are enough to conquer lots of stuff and snowball if you want to. But if you are looking for the ultimate culture line for the first 3 eras I would say Harappans/Egypt (depending on terrain)>Celts>Khmer
Playing now on PS4. It's a very interesting game. I know it's 2 years later, but thank you for the informative videos ❤ i just wish the Playstation version had the option to tweak the UI font, playing on a large tv has me squinting due to scaling 😅
has anyone tried using the expansionist special ability to annex an outpost/administrative center? I tried it on my neighbour it seemed to work (was displaying 6 turns before completing) but then I got a bug and had to reload a save and when I tried it again, literally NOTHING happened. it just kept clicking off and then telling me to select a unit to do it with but when I do and click it just cancels itself! do we need to be at peace? at war? is it forbidden for allies? do units need to be at full movement? is it just bugged? please tell me your experience, those who tried that before
I successfully did this on an outpost. I wasn't at war with them, but I'm pretty sure I hadn't signed a non-aggression pact. Whether it works under other circumstances I don't know.
My game looks similar to yours in land taken and huge religion. I just ascended to Teutons in my last turn before sleep (1 gold and science per religious follower) and I can't WAIT to get home to play again lol I didn't press next turn but gold and science were BIG time weaknesses for me so... I'm likely to see a 5x increase I bet lol. With a strong religion the Teutons is SUCH a no-brainer (esp since I went from Zhou- with no mountains unfortunately so it was basically JUST for the stability.... and I like their UU- than major industrial with Maya). If it works like I think it should I get production from not just my population but virtually the whole world! lol.
if you were close to getting the +1 city cap from the laws why liberate Akkad? If you can handle being at 3/2 cities for a long period of time to get the techs then wouldn’t you be able to handle being at 4/3 after you got the law in a few turns?
He wouldn't have been able to get enough influence to pass the law to increase his city cap, because he was over it. He'd have had to have passed the law beforehand, or else find some way to massively increase his influence gain in order to get enough influence to pass the law.

2 questions. If you place a district in a territory attached to a city, then detach that territory, what happens to the districts? If you start building an emblamatic district and swap to build a city district before finishing, then move to a new era, will the emblamatic district in the queue still be built as you had already started it?
From my games emblematic items in queues even without partial builds remain in your queue. This is also the case for units that you can upgrade, they don't change to the upgraded version in the queue. Not sure if it is intentional.
@@Elucidus4 Thanks. That’s good to know. Any idea about detaching territory with districts in them? I’m hoping they stay as there would be a lot of benefit capturing them from other civs
@@igavinwood This seems to have changed, you now need some construction for those to remain. As for detaching, yes they keep everything,. In fact if you destroy an enemy admin center, all of the other districts remain as well and you can attach it to your city with a well placed admin center. If your admin center doesn't connect to their districts those won't work until you reconnect them with a string of districts.
I dont understand how ceremonies work , they are so expensive in production and give such minor boosts. By the time you finish one you can build 3 districts
Turn is 15 turns into future from last scene in previous vid, and yeah, your influence went from +33 to -35. Craziness! It's the continuity you'd expect from your favorite B movie, even though Potato is always A+ :)
I'm gonna go on a war rampage in my next run. Hopefully get to use some explosives if you know what I mean too Won my last game being a pacifist, making friends. But next game gloves come off
I had a round of Humankind yesterday where I was 12 over my city cap...I once had 12k influence gain per turn, at that point I had -6,3k influence per turn, so I started spamming the common quarters which gave me the most influence at that point and after completly filling up the map with them I still had -2k influence per turn...I mean I was at the end of the game anyway so I had to start another round, but I wanted to get the achievment where I had a city with 30+ terretories...Yeah srew that round for the achievement
@@d4s0n282 It was impossible, to merge my citys I would have needed 2 million influence. I barely got to +100k before I lost influence due to a negative negative per turns value
Idk if they changed it in a patch, but I was doing the tutorial/intro game and uh.... well, when you have 20/10 cities you go quite negative. I was at -50k and I didn't notice any particular penalties outside of not having any influence to spend on stuff xD I had the thing that let me attach cities with gold though so I didn't even notice at that point.
was the tutorial game super easy for you aswell? i built all the wonders before going to a new era, and i ended up at the last era while the second most advanced civ just got into middel ages
Does liberate really work like it says? I liberated a city that was captured by a enemy and now that city is basically acting like a terrorist state all over my empire, even when they have the peace symbol on them, it's fun because it gives me something to do, but it really caught me of guard and it's giving me some big problems because I was already past war and wanted to concentrate on science.
My War Support for This Game is Zero. Rome did not stop sacking Carthage because Carthage got tired of the war. The war support mechanic is broken. War support going down should be a stability hit instead. If I've decimated my enemy, my people love the war, and I'm at their last city's gates I should not be forced to stop. Also, when attacking that foe again them having no units left = I can't get war score = I have to surrender to him? Broken.
human kind has a bunch of bugs, and issues. for one I played and entire game and throughout the entire world there was no oil at all. but I really think that it could be good. reminds me of civ V's Launch which was absolutely terrible but turned out into a really solid game.
what even is an "emblematic district"? This is why the wiki is useless, stuff like this does not get explained. Or what are "calm cities"? and how can a city change its status?
If you want to play a peaceful city builder who's looking for a science victory with an occasional skirmish this is your game. If you want to win by military domination go play the competition. This game clearly does not want you to play that way. You'll end up fighting every mechanic to do so and surrendering to your vanquished enemies even though you're surrounding their last city with superior armies.
Hunnic Horde is literally broken and need to be patched honestly. More than that, they seem to have some kind of hidden stat that causes them to almost always take the low end damage when you attack them, and every fight ends up taking forever since they don't hit very hard. So you get into a fight, spend all your attacks taking one down to half strength (unless you have pikemen specifically to counter them), then wait 5 minutes for the rotating door of Huns to stop killing you. It's not fun in any way.

I liberated a city that was captured by a enemy and now that city is basically acting like a terrorist state all over my empire, even when they have the peace symbol on them, it's fun because it gives me something to do, but it really caught me of guard and it's giving me some big problems because I was already past war and wanted to concentrate on science.
8:23 I think the word you were looking for is nuanced?
i love this game lol way better than civ 6
My War Support for This Game is Zero. Rome did not stop sacking Carthage because Carthage got tired of the war. The war support mechanic is broken. War support going down should be a stability hit instead. If I've decimated my enemy, my people love the war, and I'm at their last city's gates I should not be forced to stop. Also, when attacking that foe again them having no units left = I can't get war score = I have to surrender to him? Broken.
The battle system is so weird and complicated.
human kind has a bunch of bugs, and issues. for one I played and entire game and throughout the entire world there was no oil at all. but I really think that it could be good. reminds me of civ V's Launch which was absolutely terrible but turned out into a really solid game.
Couldn't click on this fast enough. 😊
huh, the Goth culture has expanded into an actual civilization i see XD
It cost you 600 gold each time you tried to sieze that that outpost
I know I'm late to the party, but i love this game....until it broke and i cant unlock civics anymore.
Raid the excess city and rebuild it
Promachoi are preannounced promahe
what even is an "emblematic district"? This is why the wiki is useless, stuff like this does not get explained. Or what are "calm cities"? and how can a city change its status?
The game is very nice but it is very buggy
Potato the Humankind simp!
Just joking. Love the vids.
"Hurranicah","Huricana","Harrican"
ok
If you want to play a peaceful city builder who's looking for a science victory with an occasional skirmish this is your game. If you want to win by military domination go play the competition. This game clearly does not want you to play that way. You'll end up fighting every mechanic to do so and surrendering to your vanquished enemies even though you're surrounding their last city with superior armies.
Hunnic Horde is literally broken and need to be patched honestly. More than that, they seem to have some kind of hidden stat that causes them to almost always take the low end damage when you attack them, and every fight ends up taking forever since they don't hit very hard. So you get into a fight, spend all your attacks taking one down to half strength (unless you have pikemen specifically to counter them), then wait 5 minutes for the rotating door of Huns to stop killing you. It's not fun in any way.
Sorry weis nicht ob der nen sprachfehler hat aber das is hart dem zuzuhören übe erstmal das sprechen bevor du videos machst
Potato I like your stuff but this video is reall mislabelled. Watched 20 minutes of a live stream with no combat tutorial
