HUMANKIND Tips That Turn BEGINNERS Into PROS

Humankind game is one year old and it's changed a lot! I Given how much has changed, and that I regularly see new players chatting on stream about their new experiences with Humankind, now's the time to share some Humankind tips and tricks! Let's talk how to play humankind for beginners here too. In this Humankind tutorial, I'm sharing three basic strategies that will turn beginners into pros! Humankind is a complicated beast, so please use the timecards to jump between tips and to the start of one if you found a lot of new info in it. I'll cover nomadic units, the neoliothic era and how to move around Humankind's map effieceintly in the first tip. Secondly, we discuss Humankind's fantastic round-based manual combat system, and how you can build on your knowledge of terrain from the first humankind tip to excel and win combat in humankind. Lastly, we talk the meta-game and cultural affinities - what's in and what's out? And I delve into the Olmecs (gang!) to showcase a case study - the very powerful cultural blitz ability. That leads me down a tangential bonus point about how society, culture and sphere of influence works in humankind and why it matters for humankind civic osmosis, stability and rebellion! Enjoy! #HumankindGame #strategy #tips #civ #gaming

I struggle a lot with this game. You won't read this comment, probably, as the video is old. But my problem is I always feel like I am behind. Either I expand and build my eco, or I get some soldiers to protect my lands, the enemy always has more though :(

[@JumboPixel]

Try dedicating just one city to building units and upgrades for them, and keep the rest for science and economy. Trading with other empires will help you grow your economy and keep yourself a little safer from attack too.

[@onkolonsko]

I am late as well but maybe you will read. If you want to have a strong economy try building a lot of infrastructure before spamming normal buildings, because the amount of one built infrastructure could be way more higher than one of one building. (You can see how much an infrastructure gives you when you hover over it btw.) And also infrastructure stacks with the amount of buildings. E.g.: Let’s say you have two Farmersquarters built on a river. Now you build that thing that gives you +2 food on farmersquarter and you get +4 food. But if you build another farmersquarter your infrastructure will grant you +6 food. That’s pretty cool I think.

[@LottoKenn1]

Man, I tend to forget about the cultural abilities! They seem to play a bigger part than I thought!

[@emstorm1725]

Appreciate your channel, Jumbo. Thanks for all of your guides.

[@imaanwallace9298]

Any chance you might do a '1 year in review', now that we've passed the games 1-year anniversary? I'm getting back into the game after more than 6 months away, and it's hard to find a definitive then-vs-now cheat sheet to help me understand everything that's different. As usual though, your vids are super helpful, thanks for the upload!

[@JumboPixel]

Absolutely :)

[@jaythaneslegion5009]

@@JumboPixel i would watch this.

[@Happysecret180]

As a humankind gamer who only plays singleplayer, i chose wonders, empires, ect based off looks. Cuz i cant be bothered to check the stats

[@marcusgodioso277]

Lazy lol

[@maj.kingkong3004]

Just rewatched as I’m trying to pick the game back up. Good stuff, but I really need an “over-explained” play through from the go-to Humankind guy. You know, in your spare time 😉.

[@VampiroGaming]

Good guide, had to subscribe :)

[@ArkvaleColoniser]

Wonderful video!

[@michaelhill6453]

Jolly good. Morel like this please.

[@reutubegaminghits6710]

I was playing civ 6 with my cousin and saying what could improve it then he told me about this game and it’s every improvement I said

[@katmannsson]

I was playing a run this weekend while the game was free to play on steam (Def trying to get it on sale, I was hype since the announce trailer and just never got the chance to get or play it before now) and In the Industrial I went Austro-Hungary to shore up my Influence as it was my major bottle neck, I was regularly Netting 120k Influence from the Affinity Action. For 150 gold. An Eight-Hundred Percent conversion. Absolutely Bonkers.

[@Antowan]

I havevbeen a subscriber for a while but i just picked up the game on sale thanks for the great tips!

[@Dwarfsayingwtf]

My "meta" is this: olmecs first for food and influence (the ability is insane); second age: science to get a tech lead; third age: production to expand your empire and consolidate your lands; forth age: flex (depends on how you wanna end the game, military for conquest, science for more tech, influence/culture to dominate peacefully, etc.) With this start I can get a good population base before expanding, also allowing me to produce units much quicker. As mil units consume population not only production is important to sustain yourself but also population growth and sustainability. Following JumboPixel getting the science star in the first age (and subsequently getting the +1 on science per pop) also helps with getting that tech earlier than later. Second age I would choose the Babylonians for the tech lead. Good tech allows you to get the stability buildings in turn allowing you to expand faster (wide play style) or build more districts (tall play style). As for the third age getting a production civ maintains your ability to build all the infrastructure buildings in your city/cities. This way you dont fall behind empires that went for production earlier. Since they profit of the bonusses much earlier, with this play style, you have to build these buildings much faster. So getting bonusses for your population (like the science bonus form the first age) helps a lot. In the forth age you can start to diversify or stay on course with your current civ. My play time is low, so this just counts as a "first impression"-guide. But I'm off to play some more, so maybe this will change.

[@lukasbaumgartner5493]

Great tips! Thank you, JumboP! The cultural & religious dominance always confused me. Is it purely whoever generates more of the resource (faith/influence) just pushes out the other? How do the civics like religious tolerance and multi-culturalism work?

[@Average_K]

Are you planning a channel Q and A at any point in the future?

[@TheTacitum]

Thanks!

[@joshuachapman247]

I really appreciated the mammoth voice over.

[@mitchelkvedar674]

Same 😂

[@marchernandez4596]

I wonder were your accent is from, I love it.

[@HispanicAt7heDisco]

Do you think Humankind is a good upgrade from Civ 5? I think I'm ready to mix it up but with Civ 7 around the corner, I'm thinking I'll skip 6 entirely. HK is included with my GamePass subscription though, so it's really tempting in the meantime

[@JumboPixel]

Personally, yes! Especially if you’ve got Game Pass. Civ 5 is my preferred Civ game, and Humankind is a nice modern alternative to it.

[@GreekIrish]

Play Vox Populi

[@pdraggy]

I who has been around since the beginning can't even play HK any more so thanks for updating some tips that might help us vets who can't seem to keep up with all the changes :). I may give it another try after next update. I tend to dominate until about the medieval era and than QUICKLY fall behind for some reason. No matter how I play, aggressively or defensively and diplomatic, I end up pissing every other leader off and they all end up ganging up on me. In my last game 1.5 months ago I was getting bombarded by cultural influence along with my religion which disappeared almost immediately. LOVE the game (and the community!) but I'm just not sure the aggravation is worth it, if you NEED to study study study tips over and over it just ceases to be a game IMO and I feel Humankind may have gone into this area.

[@pdraggy]

I think the Olmec tip may be just what I need lol focusing on religion and culture early, I really don't have a preferred culture at that stage- I just wish their unit (due to direct fire) didn't absolutely suck though. Zhou instead?

[@SunGodNika-ws9zu]

You can lower the difficulty I think

[@IllMind3d]

Yeah OK, so I tried the Indians for the first time yesterday, 207000+influence for 700 gold... its insane, not to mention the GPT getting to 160k.. finished with like 2m in the bank, blew my mind

[@q-guytoski]

I need help! It seems like I'm always falling behind in science! I don't want to be a scientific culture every era but it seems that it works! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Science is just a struggle for me!

[@frogvie3624]

something that helps a lot is getting all the knowledge stars in the neolithic era. that triggers an event where you can choose +1 science per population. it’s super helpful for the ancient and classic eras and even good into the late game. I typically never enter the ancient era until I’ve gotten this bonus. another way to get science is to focus on growing your religion with agricultural cultures and cultures with religious districts (like the celts, for example) and taking the scientific religious beliefs. now that a lot of districts count as religious districts and get buffs from religion, this can be super strong. also, high population and working researcher jobs can give you a good science boost early on too!

[@pdraggy]

also if you don't manually set your citizens to work you might want to do that. When on default it will wait a very long time to assign scientists and doing so REALLY helps especially early game. Remember you can assign them to scientists for x amount of turns than emediately move them to say farmers or builders when you need them. Manually assigning civilians is probably the most underrated mechanic in the game.

[@gaebitch3200]

dude I sometimes still do the same but research quarters need to be clustered and a bunch of them

[@q-guytoski]

Thanks for the insight HK community! Really appreciate the feedback! I would love to play with you guys sometime! Playing with the AI can get dry real quick!

[@doml9601]

My struggle with this game is I play right above hamlet. Not even normal I forget. And still somehow end up on the bottom. I’m trying to upgrade everything. Keep my troops high. But somehow. Something always happens. Normally I can’t upkeep with my gold. Struggling to make a lot of gold even though I drop all markets

[@hilding2063]

In the 100 year scenario the cultural ability yielded me 25000 influence used on Paris, likely a bug?

[@nicolobellan9861]

with the Austro-Hungarian you get 120000 with 150 gold. stat.

Good point, you dirty old Civ player😜 Hammers, takes me back to the good old days of Civ ‘1’ 👍

Olmecs religiously undermining me bad rn my roman expansion is struggling with their influential overtake

[@benyseus6325]

Is this a game based off of Civ?

[@JumboPixel]

Couldn’t say what the developers were basing any specifics from Civ or their previous strategy games. But both are 4X Historical Strategy games with a familiar yet distinct feel.

[@001648]

Did I hear OLMEC GAAAAAAANG! 🗿

[@UNSCHELLJUMPERS]

Xbox now has the game

[@tylerphuoc2653]

Humank-🧠

[@alexandermumin]

I payed . I played the game . It sks . I quit after 100 turn maybe more . And im staying on civ v and vi

[@TheKamiran85]

Try the mod Vox populii for civ 5. It changes civ 5 so much and makes AI a real competitor

[@eliot7189]

Am I missing an inside joke from this video or something? Thanks for sharing though.

[@ServantofGod0000]

You’re eye playing with the American accent a lot on this video 😂

[@BibleBelieverUK]

Become a pro, just not on PS5 😢

Is this clickbait, or can I really get paid playing Humankind? (Joking)

This video was very unorganized and difficult to follow
