APRIL 2020 • TECH ADVISOR 85- Humankind
Release date: To be confirmed
Humankind is a direct challenge to Civilization,
a historical 4X that starts at the dawn of human
civilizationandtakesit upthroughthepresentday.
It’sno Civilization clone, though. Amplitude’s upending
the formula, rethinking a lot of the ideas Civilization
is so loathe to abandon. Victory, for instance, doesn’t
entail outlasting your opponents. ‘Fame’ is the metric
for success, and past glories can be as important
to securing a legacy as present-day ones. Think of
theRomanEmpire,theEgyptians,ortheKhans.
Interestingideas, and brave. Exactly what I’d expect
from Amplitude.
