I hope that the final version of Humankind will allow for one-player games. Sometimes I get so sick of encountering AI empires and I just feel like building a bunch of cities.

Anyways, I made a comment on a YouTube video saying this and someone replied agreeing with me and suggesting that I should make a post on this forum repeating what I said there here.

Oh, and I suppose there's also money to be made for Amplitude by incorporating one-player games as an option. There are competitive empire-building games and peaceful city-builders, but there is a niche in the market for peaceful empire-building games that isn't getting filled. And with how satisfying it is to extend cities into sprawling areas on the map in Humankind--and how beautiful the game looks to boot--this niche could get filled very well.

I hope I've conveyed what I'm trying to get across okay. My brain's kind of dumb haha.

+1 for one-player games.

Hey Klorb!

Ithink that is an interesting idea, but i suppose it would not be a priority. Afterall, the point of Humankind is the interaction between civilisations and cultures, tracing our own journey through our own created history, rather than the empire-building aspect of the game. It probably would not be difficult to add though. Further, with the territory mechanic, there would not really be that much to do bar skip turns waiting for the next district or building to be completed.

Hope this suggestion makes it to the devs though.

Gonna add a +1 to this idea as well. Being able to play this game when you're looking for a stimulating and challenging strategy experience or when you're kinda braindead and just want to make nice looking cities sounds like a fun idea! Would be a pretty neat thing to come home from work or some other draining event and just enjoy the scenery and music while you make some peaceful cities.

Add on an increase to maximum zoom and it would be perfect!
