Happy Lunar New Year of the Tiger! 



An important symbol in Chinese culture, this majestic animal represents strength and courage in many Asian cultures. So let us celebrate this new year by facing a community challenge together: 


From now until February 16th, any Era Stars unlocked while playing Humankind as the Zhou, Ming, or Chinese Culture will add progress towards unlocking new rewards, including new player emblems, new decorations, and a new persona: Wang Zhenyi, a renowned mathematician, astronomer, and poet who lived in the 18th century. 


  


You can track community progress on this challenge on the Humankind page on Games2Gether. All unlocked rewards will be given to all players as part of a patch next month.


In addition, Humankind and the Deluxe Edition Upgrade are 25% off for a week as part as the Lunar New Year Sale. So, if you have not picked up the game yet or want to add the extra content of the deluxe edition, now is a great time for that. 



Have fun, 

The Amplitude Team

One day they'll balance a challenge right; but today is not that day.

Steam stats shows that this goal was to high

Cool... I love statistics. True is, that I choose Zhou and I played with them to early modern era and then I played with Ming and finished game with China... With my games I accumulated ca 200-300 stars? It is possible, but not fun. I played only to gain stars

Rewards were in the game until a small patch and then...they weren't. 


Also how many people have the game when it only got released a few months ago? I think 800,000 stars would be a reasonable final objective for now.


Does anyone know where the rewards went?

The goal was almost impossible.


Amplitude promoted a dlc about africans, in the meantime they ask us to get tons of stars by playing chinease. The AI aren't really cooperative and pick what they want.

The number of stars that we can get on a single game is ridiculous so 1million if just to big enough...

It looked like we were running out of time to complete all the missions, but at least we got the first two prizes. 

In fact, as a Chinese player and a historian, I'm tempted to point out that there are some obvious problems with Wang Zhenyi's character design. As said in the event, Wang Zhenyi lived in the 18th century, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Women's clothing at that time was not as radical as it was in the Tang or Song dynasties. Rather, it is a loose,conservative style that is influenced by Manchurian clothing styles. The image of Wang Zhenyi designed in the incident is wearing clothes similar to the Tang Dynasty style, and the pattern design of the lace of the coat is the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties or even earlier. Of course I like this design, but if the design can be closer to history, I think I and most Chinese players will be happier.

I am grateful for the Lunar New Year event in HUMANKIND. Of course, if possible, I would prefer other cultures that have also used the Chinese lunar calendar to participate in this event, such as Vietnam, Korea and Japan.

Finally, thanks to all the players who have worked together, although we have not achieved all our goals this time, we have at least gained something. See you next time.

Very sad that we will not be able to enjoy the new character because the goal was too high.


One of the main issues is that only 3 cultures provided stars and when you play with 10 machines, many times you cannot even select them.

You're welcome :) It will still be some effort to maintain the trend over 3 weeks.

Hello together!

Great event. I also got an announcement for this event at the start of the game. But when I click on Extras in the game menu, it says under Event that there is no event in progress? Is that correct? Do I participate? Do I have to set a check mark somewhere that I participate?

Thank you!

In-game, there is only the Announcement ; the Event section in-game were used in the previous individual event, but not for this communautary event (something that could be improved). There is nothing to do to participate, and the progress is only tracked here in the Humankind section of G2G.

Yeah, this event has been a little weird.  (Better in concept than November's event, but still weird.)  Progress has been far, far slower than the last event which is a bit surprising.  I don't know if it's due to Amplitude being so restrictive with the eligible cultures, the lack of a free weekend during the event, burnout from having another community event just a few weeks ago, or something else.  I would have thought that this would have been an easier goal to reach than the Amplified event since you can collect multiple stars per game and we reached the 1M games started goal during the last event.  I guess the 3 cultures that are showcased here are just not very popular.

Well I woke up and tried to play, but guess what, after reinstalling I can't get my persona up synced. Also the community screen says there is actually no event up, which is unnecesarilly confusing.

Last patch breaking a bunch of mods are the last nail in the coffin for this imo. We need stuff like era star thresholds in the game settings so that a whole list of mods isn't necessary to make the game playable.

Just play the game as the factions mentioned. Play Zhou until you can unlock one of the other two and go for fame run instead of rushing to the next eras to contribute the most stars possible.

I'm very appreciate your help, Thanks

They announced a double-counting stars week-end on Twitter (but it was only visible inside the video, so not immediately knowable nor accessible).

Last week-end when stars also counted double, we managed to get back on track for the million.

Looks like we're still on track for only 900K.  Really, Amplitude should give us an extension and also add all of the cultures that celebrate Lunar New Year...

Just one tip, since Lunar New Year is not only observed in China, Korea also celebrate it, both currently and historically, why not count Joseon towards the goal as well. And arguably Edo Japan also celebrate it.
