Humankind Together We Rule expansion release date is November 9th

Humankind’s first major expansion called Together We Rule will arrive on November 9th, SEGA and Amplitude have announced. Alongside the release date of Together We Rule, it has also been revealed that there will be a free Steam weekend for Humankind, with that set to start today and carry on until Monday 10th October.

The key features of Humankind Together We Rule include:

• Congress of Humankind – Get involved in an inter-empire forum with the Congress of
  Humankind. The congress will allow players to vote and decide on global doctrines and
  arbitrate international conflicts together.
• Embassy – Use this new Quarter to sign agreements that are beneficial for both empires, like
  joint training or research agreements. Or use your Leverage currency to force an empire to
  take specific actions to your benefit, like lowering war support or enforcing demands.
• Agents – Use this new unit family to gather Leverage. They will also allow you to infiltrate,
  sabotage and disinform other empires.
• Diplomatic Affinity + 6 New Cultures – The new Diplomatic Affinity allows its cultures to have
  a more active role in the world’s diplomacy.
  • Their Active Ability allows them to demilitarize a territory for 10 turns, while their
    Passive Ability allows all their units, beyond just agents, to collect Leverage.
  • The 6 new cultures are the Sumerians, the Han Chinese, the Bulgarians, the Swiss,
    the Scots, and the Singaporeans.
• 6 new wonders, new narrative events, new music – Monument Valley, Pamukkale, Chocolate Hills, Eldgjá, Palace of Versailles, and the Congress of Humankind Headquarters.

The Agents mentioned above are split into Envoys and Spies. Envoys will be able to travel freely to other areas to pass on messages and influence across other empires and cultures. Meanwhile, Spies will have to remain hidden and carry out tasks like siphoning resources from within other empires.  A free update will also be rolled out on November 9th, and that is called the Metternich update. In this update new stealth mechanics will be added, third parties will be able to act as reinforcements in battle, independent people will be reworked, and the UI will be improved.

Humankind Together We Rule will be priced at $19.99/€19.99/£15.99, with a 10% discount in place now up until launch day.
