So , i know guys are now a sega company so I think they are the one handling all publishers things including marketing and sales .

So I think it would be great to talk about pricing because Expansion will get marketing and an all new wave of people re-interesting them into the game .

Many are disappointed because the game was not what they expected : like new civ and as so deep mechanics , and there diplomacy is interesting and worked well but was not at the sate of  expectation people had .

They were leak about diplomacy expansion and I think it would be nice to consider having a really good ratio of quality / price else I fear a backlash of that " interested " community as the would had felt that this should as been in the base game they bought actually . Consequence would be that Humankind Active Community will stay at it's point and will only grow slowly , as so I don't know if Humankind could develop his full potential .

But imagine how MUCH could fanbase grow if the expansion is good in terms of gameplay and wise about it's price , personally what I would expect :

- Only Diplomatic Tools Overhaul and few new gameplay feature ( not systems ) 1/5 of game price
- New System and Overhaul of Soft powers tools , new gameplay features , adjustments of cultures to fit with new things 1/3.5 of game price
- Revamp of all softpowers systems ( gold religion influence diplomacy ) --> new system with new big mechanics ? , adjustments of cultures to fit with new things , balanced features ( else people would be like they put 7 months to tweak WS mechanics , meh I ain't gonna pay if it's not polished ) 1/2 of Game Price

Thanks for reading , no stress ^^ , just the game gonna regain attention and if it's not that big no problem, just explain more the player the goal of this game as project and your struggles with it , sure there surely be people as so uninterested anymore but a solid community is better than a frustrated one . Btw would be nice comment from you guys and Romain ( if he can , I know he is busy ) about the state of the game how did you saw a year of dev . One that have a great day and summer ( good luck with hot temperatures in Paris x) )
