How to change character and country in Humankind – review addiction

Understanding how to switch to a different culture and customize your avatar.

Although Humankind very much like Civilization, fans of the series are perplexed by the fact that the new product from Amplitude Studios you can’t choose your character and culture. And the thing is that, instead of choosing the people, a completely different system works with its leader. We tell old people and those who decided to skip the tutorial how everything works.

How to change a character in Humankind

If in “Tsiva” we played as a historical person like Alexander the Great and Gandhi, then in Humankind the character is just your avatar. Its appearance can be changed in the appropriate editor. How to get there:

  1. Go to the main menu.
  2. Select “My Profile”.
  3. Select “Avatar”.

How to change culture in Humankind

Here, too, everything is not the same as in Civilization – the faction cannot be selected from the doorway, before the start of the game.
Before you are presented with options, you also need to earn them. To do this, you need to get one of the stars of the epochs. This can be done in several ways:

  1. Hunt animals.
  2. Collect food.
  3. Explore objects.

Everything is simple here: in order to quickly get a star, recruit additional units of units that will be engaged in hunting or searching. To do this, first lean on looking for food, and if the opportunity presents itself, then recruit a squad during the event.

Please note that the game does not allow two players to play as the same culture. So if you already have wishes, then do not delay the collection. And the fastest way to get the necessary points is by hunting.

Once you get a star, click on the icon at the top left of the screen and then select the option Show Cultures.

In this list, you can choose a civilization for which you will wager. At the same time, the choice is not entirely permanent. Unlike the Civilization already mentioned more than once, you will have to change (although it would be more correct to say “modify”) your culture several times during the game, when you approach a new era.
