Humankind Together We Rule Expansion Announced, Adding Agents, Embassies And Singaporeans

Amplitude’s historic 4X game and Civ competitor Humankind will be getting its first expansion, Together We Rule.

As the name of the expansion implies, the focus of this is improving the diplomacy and religion aspects of the game.

For instance, diplomatic actions can now use Leverage, a new resource. You can also build embassies to further improve relations with other empires, which can lead to cooperative treaties like access to Emblematic units.

You can also send agents to other empires and they can serve as diplomats. Or spies.

Together We Rule will also add the Congress of Humankind, the global organisation equivalent to the United Nations where everyone can vote on enacting global wars or resolve conflicts.

The expansion also brings a new Culture Affinity, the Diplomatic Affinity. Cultures with Diplomatic Affinity have the active ability to demilitarise a territory for 10 turns.

Six new cultures (playable civs your empire can switch to) with the Diplomatic Affinity will be added and they are the Sumerians, Han, Bulgarians, Swiss, Scots, and Singaporeans.

Players can also expect more natural wonders, cultural wonders and narrative events added with Together We Rule.

Alongside the paid expansion, there will be a free game update that will arrive alongside it, which includes the following changes to the base game:

• Third party Reinforcements: Lend control of your armies to an ally for a battle 
• Reworked Stealth System: Based on depleting a “reserve” of stealth rather than a binary yes/no check 
• Improved Independent People: Stronger competition for patronage and more detailed treaties 

Humankind Together We Rule expansion and its free update is expected to release in fall 2022, so sometime later this year.
