Repeating my idea from alpha and beta it would be wonderful to introduce an additional mode, due complexity even as DLC, that offers an alternative storyline to Humankind.
Currently Humankind, like most games, tries to aim all achievements and misses of Humankind, including the need to exploit resources, considering the earth as a pool of (sheer unlimited) resources, not limited but including other animals that we share.
Watching Avatar 2 - way of water - reminded me much about these thoughts that it is not our right to exploit earth or animals for short term (in measures of evolution) for economic benefits.
Given the events and mechanics already in the game, it is clear there will be consequences and penalties, yet the concept of pollution alone might not be enough for this new game mode.
It would be a splendid idea to give players an innovative approach where we are trying to achieve a better version of our history, present and future without exploiting earth, or less.
This idea and alternative storyline shall include:
- ability to play and win the game without harming or severely reduced harm other animals but humans (at war).
- alternative tech tree that aims to the knowledge of today, replacing techs and buildings that build on high intense agriculture, mass livestock and aquaculture. Instead introducing modern farming methods available that aim on sustainability. applied and future examples found among science and food policy councils; honoring EAT Lancet guidelines "Planetary health diet" for sustainable food.
Allowing more room for biodiversity aspects, not just limiting to pollution.
Why do I find this important?
The currently climate change is something that put Humankind at severe risk, among other species, many of them extinct already. Humankind does contribute a lot to the pace of this climate change is happening.
Offering the first 4X simulation that allow us to embrace an alternative to our issues of economic growth and mistreatment of environment could be overly exciting. As not all this needs to be based facts driven it also offers artistical freedom of "what could be" for the makers and community.
This game mode might ignite our thinking about our future and better past, instead of just facing the dire consequences and wavering between neglection, resistance and protesting.
Convinced this game mode might not be cheered as an idea. Yet imagine we would be playing a game mode to save Humankind from an uncertain future, could be challenging, as it is, by today.
