A comparison of Humankind to Civilization 6

[john_darkhorse]

I wanted to start a discussion of what both of these games bring to the table and what each lacks. I'm going to avoid discussing the glitches, laucher issues and other broken things that each game has. I just want to compare what each game has, it's stong and weak points, and replayability.

To start this off, I believe that one advantage Humankind has over Civ is the number of possible unique Civs has available. Here's my math:

When I played Civ VI, I ran a mass of Mods, which allowed me to have access to over 300 different Civs, many with multiple leaders. This brought the total number of choices to around 500. (I won't go into how long it took to load all those Mods, but it was worth it for that number.)

In Humankind, I'm running around 50 Mods. In the First Era where you get a choice, there's about 15 Civs to choose from. (limited to start with. but stay with me.) When we come to the 2nd Era, there's about 15 more, bringing the total possible combinations to 225. 15 more for the 3rd era jumps it to 3,375. Same for the 4th through 6th Eras. The final number of possible combinations comes out to 11,390,625 combinations.

I do know that there will be times where another player beats you to the Civ you want, and many games where you never make it to the endgame. But, even figuring in those things, The numbers still seem much higher for choices.

Finally, there's the advantage of evolving your Civ as needed to adjust for an ever changing world.

I welcome and discussion on either side, as i used to be a huge fan of Civ 6 until the most recent technical issues caused me to quit. Were it not for those issues, I likely would still actively play Civ alongside Humankind.

combat in civ is just so crazy tedious... also theres the part where you start your civ, and get a special unit for like maybe 50-100 turns a game, and might not even be in a position to take advantage of them.... humankind however just has so many systems which seem like half baked, unlike civ... like i'm bombing cities outta existance with fighter jets killing 50 pops with a single strike.... i dont understand why this is possible, and is just another half baked system.
