Humankind’s ‘Cultures of Africa’ DLC comes out on January 20

/

SEGA announced that the turn-based historical strategy Humankind is getting a “Cultures of Africa” DLC, which adds six new cultures, five natural and built wonders, seven independent people, and fifteen narrative events. The DLC will be available on January 20. 

Here are the details of the six new cultures added when you purchase the DLC provided by SEGA.

New Cultures 

  • Era 1 – Bantu (Expansionist) The Bantu expansion is a postulated series of major migrations of an original Ntu-speaking group from Central- West-Africa across much of sub-Saharan Africa.

Pick this culture if you want to grab a lot of land fast and early!

  • Era 2 – Garamantes (Agrarian)  The Garamantes emerged as a major regional power in the mid-second century AD. Their growth and expansion rested on a complex and extensive qanat irrigation system (known as foggaras in Berber), which supported a strong agricultural economy and large population.

    Pick this culture if you want to get food from arid Territories!

•     Era 3 – Swahili (Merchant)  The rise of the Swahili coast city-states can be largely attributed to the region's extensive participation in a trade network that spanned the Indian Ocean.

Pick this culture if you have lots of coasts and want to take advantage of them!

  • Era 4 – Maasai (Agrarian) A fierce pastoralist people with a Nilotic (rather than Bantu or Swahili) language. For the Maasai, achieving warrior status meant single-handedly killing a lion with a spear.

    Pick this culture if you want to optimize your growth rate!

•     Era 5 – Ethiopians (Militarist)  During the Scramble for Africa, Ethiopia and Liberia were the only two nations that preserved their sovereignty from long-term colonization by a European colonial  power. By weaving the natural cliffs and ledges into the creation of their fortresses, Ethiopia was able to fend off most colonial forces. 

Pick this culture if you'd like to quickly catch up on military and science!

  • Era 6 – Nigerians (Agrarian)  Nigeria unites a wide variety of cultures under the rule of one state. The variety of its terrain and the abundance of its hydraulic resources offer it significant agricultural possibilities and make it one of West Africa's foremost producers.

    Pick this culture to increase your oil deposits and agricultural workforce!

You’ll also get five new Cultures to work with in the Cultures of Africa DLC - Mount Kilimanjaro, Victoria Falls, Zuma Rock, Lake Natro, and the Great Mosque of Djenne.

Cultures of Africa is priced at $8.99 and will be available on January 20 through Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. Preorders are available and those interested in securing this piece of DLC before release gets 10% off.
