Limit eras/ages

[VoidEcho]

Really excited for this title.

question: Will we be able to limit eras? For example if you only want to play with ancient or medieval tech wil you be able to limit tech progression?

Please can someone give an answer to this ? It's the main reason i'm not into Civ games... you can't even enjoy a time period with wars and stuff until it moves on to another.

Yeah It's one of my gripes as well, but you can usually fine tune it with the game pace option (like 'Marathon') or with a mod that makes science and culture take longer to develop.

Civ would be my second favorite game series after Total War. I know the point is for humanity to advance through the ages but these options feel a little awkward. Would be nice if all factions do some kind of objectives or war quests then start on another age, whoever manages to accomplish them or survive moves on to the next phase/match. Like playing different matches with the same faction, one in each era !

We've been considering different options related to this, but I can't give any definite response yet.

I'm not the only one!!!!

In Civ games you can easily mod the tech tree to block techs of later eras or mod the rate of research and production to fit the players individual ideas of progress. So modding is a very important point for the Civ-type-Game-Community.

I also would like to play in specific eras!!! I think some kind of option in new game settings would work well here. One option would allow us to choose starting era (e.g. medieval age), while the other one would let us choose the ending era (e.g. industrial era). I really wish it was implemented in Civ 6. It would add new ways to play and enjoy the game. You won't be able to win science victory in such a game, but I think devs could come up with some kind of new victory conditions in games limited to specific eras.

Out Victory condition of Fame would probably adapt quite well to a game played only in certain eras. However, there are certain balance considerations, especially given the core system of transitioning between cultures, so it is unfortunately not as simple as setting a start and end era and being done with it.

Will Humankind include scenarios similar to those in Civ 6? Will there be additional game modes and/or campaigns alongside main sandbox mode?

We have some ideas, but right now I don't know anything confirmed for sure.

Is it possible to win the game without a fame score before the turns run out? Like a military conquest?
