Humankind’s meta is about to change once more as the latest hotfix released yesterday brought many balancing changes. The patch also brought a ton of bug fixes and a couple of additions.
Steam Deck received a new default control scheme, and the culture card from the loading screen has been removed. Battles won’t get stuck after the player uses two airstrikes, and video tutorials for War Support, Embassies, and more have been added. Feedback on both vanilla game and Together We Rule is improved, and Mac beta compatibility for M1 and M2 are added.
