You'll find an idea in the appropriate section to push this request. It's here.

Endless space, Dungeon of the Endless, Endless Legends and Endless Space 2 all have a »PRO« badge.

It is time to get a Humankind PRO badge too.

It may look like an unimportant feature but the G2G points do play a role in the Ideas section, as one million points is required to have an idea seriously considered by the devs.

Humankind being the first Amplitude's game outside of the Endless universe, many players do have little points on their account and getting to the required G2G points threshold is for this reason quite a harder task than it was back then for ES2. Getting another Humankind badge would help.

As those badges tend to have some complicated achievements to be unlocked, I'd suggest the following selection but it is not set in stone, more a basis for discussion, as the important part is to get the badge more than have a a specific achievement included:

Starting with an easy one:
A do-something-specific-one:
One of the great things from Humankind is of course the diversity of cultures. Let's be ironic + Endless:
The required achievement tied to MP:
I'm supposed to be the Tall Pope himself, so, this one was mandatory:
Now, making things a bit harder:
In another fashion:
And of course, a link with the rest of Amplitude's game, that points towards mods:

What do you think of my selection?
Would you change some achievements?

Edit: Made a complementary statement to emphasize the goal of the thread.

Edit_2: Placed the link to the idea on top of the topic, as no one seemed to see it.

I'd probably pick Wonder-full over either of your first two. Not difficult despite the rarity, generally requires multiple playthroughs, and is a bit more interesting to try for than those two. I'd love to see Lord of the Flies in addition to There Can Be Only One since those were very different playthroughs for me. Or maybe an either/or between them if that is possible. Peacemonger and Gigalopolis were really different and fun playthroughs, too. They would be good for a list/badge like this. With a lot of games, my enjoyment drops a bit when I start trying for remaining achievements to get to 100% completion. With Humankind, it became more fun because it forced me to use completely different playstyles. I think it would be great to encourage that with this list/badge.

Thanks for your suggestions, all dully noted.
I thought about Wonder-full too but wanted things players won't really get without doing them on purpose.
Doesn't Lord of the Flies unlock if you get There can be only One?

Lord of the Flies is versus 3 AI on the smallest map specifically and There Can Be Only One is versus 9 AI on the largest map specifically. The world generation settings will determine which, if either, the player can get. It isn't possible to get both on the same playthrough. I've seen players on the Steam forums get The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth without trying for it - just because they essentially turtled on a low difficulty/peaceful playthrough. They basically just turned combat against the AIs off.

I forgot about the map size requirement. I unlocked those a long time ago and only the number of players and level stayed in mind for LotF.
So, yeah, that makes the case for it being one of the 8 achievement stronger.

Are you telling me that players just casually build the Empire State Building without any achievement in mind? ;)

(Also, all hail the Tall Pope, your Spartan Holiness!)

There's still a bit of fame to get from it and potentially »Raise monuments«. I mean, if you missclick... Is that why you did not upvote neither this topic nor the idea? I'm seriously hurt.
Joke aside, I checked after building twice Stonehenge, I got +1 for the second time.
