How does this compare to Old World? I bought Old World not long ago, and I’m still thinking about this one.
I’ve been playing Old World since early access and a good deal since release. The game is outstanding. I also played the betas for Humankind and am going to play a good deal after launch.
Humankind’s battles are more interesting tactically. Old World has very good AI that can exploit the weaker human player. I’m not sure about Humankind’s strategic AI, especially in the long game – it seems competent in limited gameplay. In contrast, Old World is limited to a single era and a game length of 200 years – so technological advancement is constrained.
I do like the use of outposts in Humankind which slows the city management needs.
