Amplitude Studios has released Humankind – Together We Rule, the first major expansion to the turn-based historical strategy game Humankind. The expansion adds new features focused on diplomacy and espionage including the Congress of Humankind, Embassies, Agents, diplomatic affinity, and six new cultures and wonders to explore.

We want to give players many options beyond warfare to achieve victory. This is why we are very excited to announce the release of our first expansion Together We Rule and the accompanying free update Metternich, which is focused on diplomacy and espionage.

Together We Rule Expansion

See the world in a new light and manage conflicts differently with new gameplay features focused on diplomacy and espionage:

• Congress of Humankind – Get involved in an inter-empire forum with the Congress of Humankind. The congress will allow players to vote and decide on global doctrines and arbitrate international conflicts together.
• Embassy – Use this new Quarter to sign agreements that are beneficial for both empires, like joint training or research agreements. Or use Leverage currency to force an empire to take specific actions to your benefit, like lowering war support or enforcing demands.
• Agents – Use this new unit family to gather Leverage. They will also allow players to infiltrate, sabotage and disinform other empires.
• Diplomatic Affinity + 6 New Cultures – The new Diplomatic Affinity allows its cultures to have a more active role in the world’s diplomacy.
• Their Active Ability allows them to demilitarize a territory for 10 turns, while their Passive Ability allows all their units, beyond just agents, to collect Leverage.
• The 6 new cultures are the Sumerians, the Han Chinese, the Bulgarians, the Swiss, the Scots, and the Singaporeans.
• 6 new wonders, new narrative events, new music – Monument Valley, Pamukkale, Chocolate Hills, Eldgjá, Palace of Versailles, and the Congress of Humankind Headquarters.
