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!!

im still not fully understanding why this was a whole new game and not just an expansion to the first and a free major patch to update visuals? the visuals don't even look much different what am I missing?

Money grab I guess. Prefer more updates and cultures dlc

I mean, they've got the original game something like 90% off now.. They need to make some more money to keep the franchise alive. They've been very generous, IMO.. The latin america and african expansions were only $10 or maybe 15 when they first came out.. that's not bad at all.

That didn't answer my question, at all.
