I only have two concerns so far. They are both pretty small though.

The first is the way your nation changes cultures throughout the game. I think it will be great for any individual game, but I have my doubts how it will hold up as a set of iterative games. Sometimes I choose a faction in Civ or EL because I feel like playing the science aspect of the game, or trade, or war. The way Humankind is set up seems like one won't really be able to do that. Maybe the game is so much fun in ways I can't anticipate that I won't miss choosing a faction to experience a specific part of the game.

yeah that part seems like it'll loving suck and I don't really know why they're going this route, particularly with a "historical" game

this isn't civ religion where it's a nice bonus, this is who I am playing. if I wanted a france game I don't want to have to end up with the huns cuz I had a bad start or something

I too want to play a game where it's just a lever of "WAR" and "GROWTH"
