    The transitions between these eras will offer the chance to select a fresh civilization, with a range of options determined by your previous choices.

    Wait a minute. I feel like I’ve seen that one before…

    Oh well, fair enough. Humankind drew heavily on Civ in its design anyway.

      Yeah, I’m not mad that they chomped Humankind’s flavor. I see it as an admission that the game had good ideas (if less-than-stellar execution). I’ve just seem rando comments trying to tamp down on claims that there are similarities like their stock portfolio is riding on it.

      I’m sure it’s management’s fault but they should be shouting out fellow devs in their breakdowns: “oh, we saw Humankind and thought it’s mechanic was fascinating. But we wanted to adapt it closer to our style and refine some pain points we noticed in our execution.”
