In the past weeks we have been revealing all the different elements and additions that will change with Together We Rule, like the Embassies, Agents or the Congress. Alongside the expansion, a new patch will arrive, Metternich Update, which will be free to everyone.
With only one week left before the launch, we thought, what if you could start trying the elements of the new patch? We are super glad to announce a Preview version that will start today (4th of November) and will remain active until the 8th of November.
As we wanted to keep it short, here are the main changes that will arrive with the Metternich Update that you will be able to try on this Preview version
- Stealth Rework: Stealth units will now be discovered gradually over time instead of instantly
- Changes to Independent People: Independent People will offer more varied treaties and should survive longer
- Third Party Reinforcements: You can give control of your units to an ally to reinforce them in battle
How to access this Beta
Go to Steam > Right Click on Humankind
Click on Properties > Betas
Select "metternich_beta"
We’ve already had a closed beta and made many improvements based on it, but now we want to give all of you a chance to share your feedback. As you can imagine, with less than a week to release, we won’t be able to address a lot of changes from all your feedback, but it will be super important for future updates after release.
Before we finish let’s do a small FAQ
- Can I keep playing my game after the end of the beta and the release of the patch? Yes, any game during this preview will be compatible after the release of the patch. If you are on the base game I will recomend to start a new game, to avoid any kind of problems, as there are quite a few changes.
Dates Reminder: From 4th of November to 8th of November
Can I play on Epic Store? No, it is only available on Steam (Windows and Mac)
We have created some dedicated forums, here on G2G to talk about the changes and any other feedback you might have.
There, we have included the list of Known Issues as well.
Enjoy the beta ^-^
