One of the highlights of Humankind is the ability to choose different civs in each era. This adds numerous permutations from one game to the next, I like how you spend a decent amount of time in each era to take advantage of what the culture has to offer.

On higher difficulty levels, the AI becomes more aggressive and will attack frequently.

Excellent discussion, as always! Long time since I posted, but gotta chime in here briefly and mention that the Chinese name Zhou is typically pronounced sort of like the name “Joe” in English.
