CAN YOU BEAT HUMANKIND CAVEMAN ONLY CHALLENGE? - Humankind Is A Perfectly Balanced Game

Humankind is the new and upcoming entry to the grand strategy video game market! The folks over at amplitude have created a historical 4X game that is set to rival sid meiers civilization in terms of its impact in the genre. Naturally the devs wanted to give me early access to see if I could perfectly balance the game and see if this New Civ Killer is broken and if it contains any exploits! Long story short we found infinite money, immortal units, broken diplomacy mechanics and perfectly balanced and overpowered religion! Truly everything in this game is broken and that just makes it the perfect strategy game for me to cover! And guess what the devs decided to add me into the game too!!! Thats right you can even play against the spiffing brit in your game and cry as his unlimited army of immortal horse warriors melts its way through your empire and generates infinite cash! Today we are going to try the Caveman Only Challenge by staying in the neolithic era for as long as possible and then breaking the ai mechanics to pull ahead!
So Is Humankind A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits? Well there is only one way to find out! Get ready for some funny humankind gameplay and my humankind strategy for the neolithic era and a humankind guide for the liberation exploit!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

@@Syngrafer That would be a big oversight. Any moderately experienced player is going to look at that feature and ask "can I use this to reset my city?"

[@m_6866]

@@DavidGuild The problem is not even reliberating the city as that destroys pops and units, the problem is that the city auto-builds districts when it is liberated. Im sure there was a person on the dev team that thought that was a good idea and it was added without thinking of the exploit loops. Take the district building out and the exploit disappears as there is no point to liberating and capturing. To diminish the impact of neolithic pop spamming, the culture/research huts could respawn with diminishing returns and with limited respawns as on harder difficulty or more populated maps, it can be hard to find untouched areas and a player could get stuck in that era if they did not respawn at all. Could also be solved by making the reward diminish per player, so if a player already has a star in neolithic, the huts do jack shit or only a little per hut.

I do enjoy the fact that the caveman strat is more of a strat than an exploit. It's the difference between a longer time investment to get more out of it later, or a shorter time investment to get to the rewards quicker since you're a bit more vunerable as the early era. So it doesn't break the game. But then the city invasion is just broken.

[@EchoingHorror]

Play with more land mass to get lots of mammoths, and you can get that many tribesmen in the same number of turns even on the longest game speed (40 food per monke) while getting >1000 influence.

[@Kahadi]

Though a vastly different game, this reminds me of Age of Evolution. Can't think of the genre, but a 2D arena for fighting. You buy units and fort upgrades and have them autofight the AI's units and upgrades, trying to get to their fort to crush it. Over time, you earn evolution points that let you go to the next age, with new units and fort upgrades. Caveman to medieval to... renaissance? Then to modern, and finally futuristic. All with a pattern to what's available. A basic unit, a range unit, a mounted unit, a basic turret, a stronger turret, and an ultimate. But while you'd think cavemen with clubs, slingshots, or riding stegosaurus while eggs are rapid fired from a chicken strapped to their cave would lose pretty quickly... They don't. You can stay as cavemen almost right up to the end, and they will stop everything. Even as the AI gets horses, muskets, swords, and eventually grenades and AK-47s, with the enemy fort upgrading to dump oil on you or with a full auto machine gun turret, the cavemen not only survive, they manage to deal a little to the enemy fort. They only become unmatched against the sci-fi era, and even then, while they can't win, they can survive a really long time. So you can have a caveman on a stegosaurus fighting an alien looking mech warrior while a chicken turret supports it with hundreds of eggs

[@jj_...]

The way he got that city to develop districts that were far more technologically advanced than what he had, or even could, research reminds me of the Pakleds from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

I have actually been wondering how valuable it would be to just stay in ancient to build pop that way cause you can build it really fast, especially the more you have. Then you can conquer with them or just disband them to get insane population in cities. Apparently it actually is pretty dang effective so long as you aren't too picky on which first civ you get

[@lordcarve]

Underrated comment. It's far more efficient to use the scouts to disband into your own cities or just simply instantly conquer the AI.

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

@@lordcarve yeah, I've really only played a few games. But after my first one I'd figured out how to go through ancient in like 5 turns. Then I found a city and it takes a while to grow pop but you find a couple mammoth and are like I if I didn't advance that'd be 2 pop right there. Take a turn or two. You lose out on some production from city for those turns you wait, but high pop means more production, and until you get techs to enhance production, your city doesn't make that much on its own. And the tribal unit is respectable for a decent while. Also I guess you'll blow through the first era anyway.

This is great fun and a wonderful video. Sadly this strategy would not work in a regular game for two simple reasons. Most maps have a limited surface area on their first continent. This is to encourage the use of boats later on. So eventually there will be less and less fog of war and therefore less curiosities. But more importantly, border access. Other players are going to start claiming territories and establishing borders. And Neolithic Era tribesmen can not communicate with other players to establish open borders treaties. Your tribesmen will be inevitably boxed in and unable to explore.

I was called by the terrorized games that mr. spiff broke and they forced me to like this video.

[@Yutzune]

Day 184 fo asking Spiff to play Battle Realms. Just who would have guessed that an angry dude with a club would be so effective.

[@thespiffingbrit]

Hey spiff, idk if you’ll see this comment, but I wanted to say thank you for the great content. Seeing a new upload today made a really shitty week a lot better, and I’m holding you responsible. In addition to my respect, admiration and appreciation, I’m going to drink 18L of Yorkshire tea because we can buy that in canada 🇨🇦

I love how that one guy rebuilds the entirety of Nesa.

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

We the people of Nesa are a fiercely independent and industrious people.

Spiffing brits videos should be rated T for Tea honestly, and theyre fantastic too

[@Khono]

Jon is play a 1v1 against an AI.. then at 8:42 he says "we still haven't found the other AI." Thus proving that Jon is, in fact, an AI. This explains his god-tier exploit abilities.

Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner, I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world is simultaneously shaking their head and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me. Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as Grammar Nazis) from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet. That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear. Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make: cock and cum.

"Turkey, which I'm pretty sure was meant to be a food-focused culture" mind you, actually Turkey is the most tea-drinking country in the world, be ashamed of yourself for not knowing this. Good day, sir.

[@kalinmir]

I mean they named the country after a food

[@unematrix]

tea is a type of food, though. :D

[@ihtilalci]

@@unematrix Yeah but a tea drinker should respect a fellow tea drinker I mean he just diminished our entire culture to food (Although I'm pretty sure he wasn't completely serious) even though we have much more than that. Yet the sad thing is we're still being ruled by a dictator :(

[@MrNote-lz7lh]

@@ihtilalci I'm so jealous. I wish I could be ruled by a dictator.

[@ihtilalci]

@@MrNote-lz7lh OH TRUST ME YOU DON'T. Not by Erdogan at least. Like having to deal with Political Islamists who are merely using religion as a cover and are actually Kleptocrats and also placing their relatives on spots they don't deserve to be via Nepotism. And the brainwashed-sheep boomers who continue to support them because he builds Mosque's instead of actually supporting the people. Minimum wage here is 2800 units (wage here is monthly not per hour) and they extract as much labor as they can from you, about 12-15 hours which is atrocious. 2600 USD$ can buy 2000 units of 2.5 litre Coca-Cola whereas in here 2800 can only buy 280 and this goes for everything not only Coca-Cola bc we are not producing anything and always importing puts us in a constant state of political and economical turmoil. Not to mention %40 of workers here get paid minimum wage or LOWER. And this is just economy I can't even begin on Justice/Order, Education. ALSO Erdogan openly supported Taliban government not only that but they live broadcasted a representative of Taliban on ATV (a TV channel owned by his house) Be grateful you weren't born in Middle East.
