In this quick guide, I will walk you through the process of setting up your first outpost. And what you need to consider when placing an Outpost.
Building your first settlement in Humankind
When you start a new game of Humankind, you have one unit and don’t have the influence to build an outpost. Humankind wants you to start exploring as you do, so look for suitable locations for an outpost. Ideally, you want to build your first outpost as soon as you can at the best location that you have found.
When you are able, the building of outposts is dependent on having a certain number of influence. The amount of influence you need increases each time you build an outpost.
Ideally, it would help build your first outpost in the neolithic period, which can be converted into a city once you move to the classic era.
Why should I build other Outposts in Humankind
The building of outposts allows you to claim regions for your empire. The outposts can then be linked to an existing city. Or be upgraded to a city later in the game. Humankind caps the number of cities, which can be increased by developing future technologies or certain civics.
Conclusion
Building outposts and placing them in a good location is a crucial element to playing Humankind.
