I mainly contribute by creating fan lore, or fan stories and even bring up a few potential ideas to implement in future games, just take a look at some of my creation threads. Perhaps you could do something similar.

I still feel like Im useless to the community, like I could do more but is too lazy to do more. I feel I should just delete the account and leave.

Also, you don’t need to be “useful” to be a part of the community.  Do what you enjoy, if you enjoy finding these things out, go ahead.  If you feel burned out, play the game some, look at what others have added to here, or do something nonHK related at all [the rest of life is a very important thing] until you feel like doing it again.  No need to delete an account, you can always let it sit snd come back to it later. (Noone worthwhile will be upset with that)

I don't even play the game, simply use it to calculate stuff. I find the game too easy and too unbalanced right now.

I delete account both to make it hard for other people to know what I have posted, if a post is of useful it should be because what is in it, not who wrote it and also because I'm trying to stay away and deleting is probably the most effective way doing so. Given that creating an account is free, it is quite easy to rejoin in the future if I want to write something more.

If I may.. Could you share your strategy for getting into game on higher difficulties? Is it going down to simple math? Something else? Magic? Witchcractr? 

At this moment Civilization  & Humankind difficulties are like impossible challenges for me and lower ones are too easy. So I'm getting frustrated trying. Looked at stuff you've posted, calculations are cool, but I think (might be wrong) not many people will use/ understand them. Still nice job, and observations.

You don't need much strategy other than survive the early game, as the ai poor economic management and thus fall behind. Focus on getting gold era stars may give you enough fame to win the game as the ai don't seems to do a good job at getting fame.

It is possible to play very aggressively and destroy the ai players early on, like in this game.

Less aggressive than before, but you can see the ai fail to keep up beyond early game in terms of fame.

While this was not humankind level, the startegy of focusing on getting all era stars and alot of legendardy deeds can give huge amount of fame, especially than transcending.

If you are looking for humankind level gameplay in video format, I suggest on youtube that you check ColonelUber and ChaffCommander Coffey as those play on that difficulty and also have tutorial and explanation videos in addition to regular gameplay videos.

No matter how hard I try, I can't feel anything different than feeling useless. So good bye.
