Humankind received a major update a few hours ago. The Ibn Battuta Update brings tons of new content, several balancing, and other changes; you can also expect a plethora of bug fixes.
The patch added a new Empire Name system and rebalanced several cultures. A new line of sight calculation has been made, and the game now features a new loading screen and tips. The patch made several balancing tweaks, which you can read over here. All the other major changes are mentioned below.
IMPORTANT CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
- Heavily rebalanced cultures, including Militarist Iron Reserves rework, Phoenicians EU becoming naval transport, etc.
- Rebalanced influence costs, especially late game: Enact Civic, Attach Territory and Merge City influence costs grow slower.
OTHER ADDITIONS AND CHANGES
- Borders are now turned off when removing the UI overlay with Shift+F10 (for nicer screenshots!)
- Civic Bonuses shown in tooltips for locked civics.
- Improved rotation of quarters, building placement in city plans, and variety of Commons Quarters to avoid repetitive patterns in large cities.
