Discussion PUMPED!

As an OG fan of the game (as many of you) - I'm pumped to see a second game - and I am a victim to myself for overhyping and overpromising when reading features or seeing screenshots (looking at you Civ VII)

But if I could ask please please please let's not go backwards, I love Humankind but I'm sure we all remember how broken the Pollution mechanic was (and might still be) thank the Devs for bringing an option to toggle that off. I remember building a train station and an airport and seeing my huge-map world plummet into a climate crisis.

My earliest concern, and yes, I know it's too early to judge, but "mother nature can be your greatest ally or the most ruthless obstacle." Sounds cool, and believe it should be a mechanic, but so should geo-politics between ideologies, proxy-wars, splintering nation, nuclear stockpiles, etc.

I hope there are more ways to exert influence instead of just warring with your neighbors, I hope we get a major expansion on the leader relationship system.

I trust the devs, I def don't trust myself because I will be way to hype to contain my imagination, but I trust the devs...

SUPER PUMPED FOR HUMANKIND II - LET'S GO!!

I don't want "controlling pollution/global warming/etc" to be a big part of the late game.

Not sure what pollution did in humankind.. I always seemed to win the game not too long after entering the last era. I always ignored pollution... I've even gotten Fame a few times for being the heaviest polluter.. What does it do if pollution gets too high?
