Humankind has received its first-ever expansion, Together We Rule. Many new features were tested through a closed beta, such as the Leverage system, cultures, agents, and much more. Due to these insights, the dev team behind Humankind was able to develop and introduce new UI upgrades, balances, cultures, and more to the game through this expansion.
Full details of the expansion and the new update were obtained from the official Humankind Steam post. We’ve included everything you need to know about both below. Be sure to check out our Humankind section for more great content!
Humankind Together We Rule Expansion and Metternich Update
Together We Rule Expansion
The Together We Rule Expansion will add many features to the game, including:
- Embassies: Form stronger ties with other empires and access cooperative treaties, like mutual access to Emblematic Units.
- Agents: A new class of units that can serve as diplomats or hidden agents to perform specific actions such as siphoning districts or tracking armies.
- The Congress of Humankind: Vote on globally enacted laws and resolve conflicts through diplomatic pressure.
- New Cultures: Sumerians, Han, Bulgarians, Swiss, Scots, and Singaporeans
- And more
The Together We Rule expansion is live and costs USD 19.99 on Steam. You will need the base game to play the expansion.
Metternich Update
In addition to the expansion’s release, the Humankind team has also released a free update to the base game called the Metternich Update.
The Metternich Update will add new elements and reworks to others. In summary, the update includes the following:
- Stealth Rework: Based on depleting a “reserve” of stealth rather than a binary yes/no check and introduction of Ambushes.
- Changes to Independent Peoples: Stronger competition for patronage and more detailed treaties.
- 3rd Party Reinforcement: Lend control of your armies to an ally for a battle.
Please also note that there have been issues with specific Mac configurations in multiplayer mode, and the modding tools haven’t been updated. In the coming weeks, more updates and bug fixes will be delivered to the game.
