#humankindgame

Welcome back to We Play Games! In celebration of the 2nd birthday of Humankind, I'm gonna bust out a series of videos just kinda talking about each era, ways to prioritize things within those eras, and how I approach the game.

The Contemporary Era, being the final era in Humankind, represents your last best opportunity to put the AI in their place and secure your victory. If you've been following my advice and paying attention to which players can potentially threaten your position you should be well ahead by now in terms of fame and raw resources, so hopefully you can just vibe and smash stuff, but ending the game is very important if you skipped out on some era stars early on to ensure a good economic and military advantage. Use that advantage!

Also as a meta-conversation, don't be afraid not to get every single era star, as there's a lot of different sources of fame available in Humankind. You need the most fame to win, so don't neglect it entirely, but competitive deeds and cultural wonders and critical technologies can go a long way towards shutting the AI out if you look ahead to it.
