• Fix for AIs not advancing out of the neolithic
  
• Fix for AI not surrendering*
  
• Fixed The Other Capital Punishment civic still giving stability on exploitations
  
• Fixed a localization error with the Force Surrender button

*An edge case still exists for AI not surrendering: If you are both at 0 war support, and the AI have the To The End trait, they may still refuse. If you manage to briefly push above 0 war support, for example through winning a battle, they will accept.

Hey everyone!

After a couple of weeks in the beta branch, we are ready to release Achilles Update 🎉

The goal of this update is to address some of the frustrations that players encountered and expressed regarding War Support, War Score, and Surrender.

We want to avoid players feeling surprised by a warm ending with little warning and create a clearer connection between demands, occupied territory, and available surrender terms.

Here are some comments from the devs regarding the update:

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Let's start with a bit of context on the War System in general before moving to the changes.

When we first starting thinking about armed conflict during the initial development of Humankind, we mostly followed the Clausewitzian saying that held that "War is a continuation of Policy through other means". There were many interactions with what had happened before and during conflict, and a big resolution at the end where one of the sides was forced to surrender. While this approach worked well enough after release, we kept getting feedbacks that said that players were often puzzled as to why a war they were fighting had to end. Often, this boiled down to the War Support system not making enough room to account for all the subtleties of strategic context that may unfold during a war in Humankind. After smaller changes brought during past updates failed to resolve all situations, we decided to make a more drastic modification.

With the update we are separating the 2 aspects, War Support and War Score.

War Support, which used to being considered as your "War HP", is now meant to be your " War Stamina": it measures how long you can fight before the conflict starts taking its toll on your Empire's Population. Now, both sides can keep fighting after reaching a War Support of 0. It is the social consequences of continuing to fight beyond this point that should drive Players to make or accept a surrender proposal.

War Score has also been simplified to be solely related to your Demands and territorial gains during the conflict. Its calculation should be less finicky and more predictable for both sides.

Our hope is that these changes go towards having War outcomes that both sides agree with. At the end, its about giving you more control on the decision.

P.S There's always the option of proposing a White Peace 💡

---

---

[Version Number >> 1.28.4612]

• All surrender proposals can be refused now, even if you are at 0 war support
  
  
  
  
• Both parties reaching 0 War Support no longer forces White Peace
  
• While at 0 War Support, empires take a Stability penalty scaling with era and number of turns spent without War Support
  
• While their enemy is ready to surrender (at 0 War Support), empires will take a penalty to their own War Support
  
• Centralized Power unlocks an empire bonus that reduces the impact of lost and destroyed units on war support, so wars can last longer
  
  
  
  
• War Score now only depends on demands and occupied territory, not War Support
  
• You can now always declare surprise wars
  
• (Together We Rule) The Placate action is now forbidden during war
  
• Corrected the buyout formula to avoid inflation
  
• Several new historical personas: Zenobia, Sun Tzu, Miyamoto Musashi, Napoleon, Shaka Zulu, Artemisa, and Alexander The Great.
  
  
  
  Then after some feedback we received from the community, we included a couple of extra changes ✨
  
  
• Added a -10% Food, Industry, Money, and Science War Weariness penalty on all Settlements for
• each refused Surrender while at 0 War Support.
  
• Reinstated a one-time +10 War Support bump whenever an opponent that is at 0 War Support refuses a Surrender offer.
  
• Reduced the "My Opponent is at 0 War Support" War support penalty scale to a maximum of -5/turn
  
• Forbidden City Balance to be adjusted with the changes in War Support
  >> Now provides +25% War Score (instead of -10 War Support required to declare a Surprise War)
  
  
  
  With these changes, you can keep fighting even if your enemy or your own people are ready to give up. You may have to deal with a few rebels if you push things too far, though 😉
  
  
  Also, here is a video (from Amplified 2025) from the Devs talking about the details and explanation regarding the update.
  
  
  
  
  
  Have a nice day ^-^

Hey everyone,

We’ve got a nice surprise for you today: A playable beta for the upcoming Humankind update, Achilles.

Since the release of the game, we’ve received a lot of feedback about War Support, War Score, and surrender, and with this update we want to address some of the big frustrations. We want to avoid players feeling surprised by a warm ending with little warning, and create a clearer connection between demands, occupied territory, and available surrender terms. To achieve this, we made the following changes:

• All surrender proposals can be refused now, even if you are at 0 war support
  
• Both parties reaching 0 War Support no longer forces White Peace
  
• While at 0 War Support, empires take a Stability penalty scaling with era and number of turns spent without War Support
  
• While their enemy is ready to surrender (at 0 War Support), empires will take a penalty to their own War Support
  
• Centralized Power unlocks an empire bonus that reduces the impact of lost and destroyed units on war support, so wars can last longer.
  
• War Score now only depends on demands and occupied territory, not War Support
  
• You can now always declare surprise wars
  
• (Together We Rule) The Placate action is now forbidden during war
  
• Several new historical personas, like Alexander the Great, Napoleon, or Sun Tzu

With these changes, you can keep fighting even if your enemy or your own people are ready to give up. You may have to deal with a few rebels if you push things too far, though.

If you want to see these changes in action, you can already try the beta for this patch through the update_preview branch on Steam.
Just go to the properties of the game, open the betas tab, and select the right branch.


Some words from the devs

First and foremost, I wanted to thank you again for the feedback on the beta! We are about to update the Achilles Beta branch with some updates based on what you've told us.

We have tried to make changes that preserve what players liked from the change while addressing the two most extreme behaviors reported: Weaponizing your already low War Support to bring other players down with you, and spamming legit surrender proposals with no consequence.

These are the concrete changes and their underlying design rationale:

• Reduced the "My Opponent is at 0 War Support" War support penalty scale to a maximum of -5/turn
  
  • This decrease exists to incentivize belligerents with positive war support to send a Surrender proposal before they lose their advantage, however its scale made it a bit too surprising (as a reminder it climbed to -15/turns in 5 turns) and ended up being too easily weaponizable by belligerents with already low War Support.
• Reinstated a one-time +10 War Support bump whenever an opponent that is at 0 War Support refuses a Surrender offer.
  
  • This is meant to combine with the above change to enable some defense against the dropping War Support, without being a full re-up.
• Added a -10% Food, Industry, Money and Science War Weariness penalty on all Settlements for each refused Surrender while at 0 War Support.
  
  • This is more an indictment of Stability lacking the oomph to have any meaningful effects once you are deep in the red; Ideally the FIMS hit would be related from the lack of stability, but there was no clear way of implementing this. We believe that tying this penalty to refusing surrender offers when you really shouldn't is clear enough.
  
  I also want to address the other things you reported but that we haven't touched so far.
  
  I've seen the "jettison territories" behavior being mentioned here and there, but at the moment I don't see how this would prevent you from razing the admin center and claiming it as your own without bothering with War Score, bagging all contained districts as well. Maybe my playstyle enables this but not everyone's?
  
  I've also read the woes about the placate action no longer being a "get out of war free" card anymore. I get that for those players against the AI this was ok, but this is a behavior that causes much grief when you're on its receiving end. I'd much rather see players its use as a dissuadant during peace time.
  
  All this to say that while we chose not to act on those feedbacks in this Beta update, this does not mean that we won't keep monitoring those (and other) topics, and enact changes if they become too problematic.
  
  With all this said, I hope the changes put forth improve your Achilles Beta experiences!

Hello everybody!

We have big news to share with you today: Amplitude is going indie again 🎉

Our journey with SEGA over the last 8 years has been amazing, and we have learned so much working with them, but now we are returning to our roots as an independent studio. With ownership of the studio returning to some of our original founders and members of the team, the creative vision of our games and the Endless universe rests in the hands of those who know them best. While we are going our separate ways now, we part on good terms and wish our friends at SEGA the best for all their future projects.


In the words of our founder Romain de Waubert de Genlis:

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Our studio is backed by strong and meaningful franchises and our team is committed to creating the best games possible. With our extensive experiences in strategy game development and two exciting titles currently in progress, we are confident in our ability to deliver outstanding experience to players. This decision allows us to be more agile in our approach while continuing to shape the vision that has been ours from the very beginning, empowering us to push boundaries and be closer as ever of our community.

Working closely with our players has always been at the heart of our philosophy, and this will continue to shape our approach in the future. We could not have made these games and this universe without the support of our wonderful community. Thank all of you for your continued support!



We’ve got a new Humankind patch soon, but we’ll share more details about that next week, and we will talk more about what we have in store at Amplified next January, so remember to join us for our anniversary.

So, here’s to the future of Amplitude and the Endless universe!

Hey everyone! 


Just in time for our studio anniversary this week, we've got a new Humankind Update for you! Some of you have already been trying it, but if you haven't heard about the George Sand Update yet, here are some highlights (full list at the bottom): 

• Culture Rebalancing: Many cultures from the base game, Together We Rule, and all DLCs have been tweaked
• Added a Dev Mode Menu: To help modders test their creations, we have added a dev mode tool (see below on how to use it)
• Non-Exclusive Cultures Option: A new game setup option to allow more than one empire to play the same culture
• More Map Generation Options: Map Ratio, Natural Wonder Density, and Independent People Density
• New and Rebalanced AI personas: We've added over a dozen new personas for you to play against
• Buffed Transcendence: Sticking to your culture will now also give you a permanent bonus based on your affinity
• Updated the official Endless Mod: The Endless Mod has been updated for compatibility with the Sand Update (available on the Steam Workshop
• Various Other Improvements and Fixes: Find the full list at the end of this post 

While we are sure that many of you will like the rebalanced cultures, new avatars, and other improvements, we want to take a moment to highlight the Dev Mode Tools and what they can do. They are primarily intended as a way for modders to be able to quickly test their creations, but they can also be useful if you want to create a scenario of your own, or maybe just craft the perfect screenshot. 

• Set Starting Era and Culture: With dev mode enabled, you can select the era in which to start the game from a dropdown at the top of the lobby screen, and you can pick cultures in the detail window of each player. (Note that the game is not balanced around starting in a later era.) 
• Spawn, damage, or destroy units: You can use the “military cheats” window to create units, damage them, give them XP, or destroy them 
• Unlock Techs and Civics: You can use the ScenarioEditor window to unlock/enact both technologies and civics for any empire, or do this for the current empire using the CivicsUtils and TechnologyUtils windows 
• Create and modify cities: In the settlement tab of the ScenariorEditor, you can create outposts, cities, and districts, and add or remove infrastructure 
• Reveal the map: You can reveal the whole map in the GameInfo window or use the ScenarioEditor window to reveal specific areas 
• Set Money/Influence stock: In the ScenarioEditor window, you can set the current Money and Influence stock of any empire 
• Switch Player Perspective: Use the GameInfo window to switch to control any of the major empires to make changes to any empire you want 
• Spawn Independent People: You can spawn Independent people or animals using the ScenarioEditor 

As you can see, you have quite a few options with these tools, but you will need to enable them first. Open the properties of the game on Steam and add “--allowmodtools” to the Launch Options. With this launch parameter, you will be able to access the dev mode tools in game by pressing Shift+F1 and pin any of the windows by clicking on the P in the top right. 

However, please note that multiplayer will be unavailable with the Dev Mode Tools enabled.
