Humankind is the upcoming historical 4x strategy game from Amplitude Studios that has you leading your people from the life of a humble nomadic tribe to they of a famed civilization. A unique opportunity is present in how the game allows players to pull together parts of different cultures through the ages, developing a new culture as mix of it's parts. With this approach, each option at each stage can make a big difference, and so today we're diving into the first step, and the ten options that come with it - let's talk about the Bronze Age cultures and civilizations of Humankind.
