Well, we have this screenshot:
And as you can see in the address, it's named Umayyad.
I assume the sub currently has no mods given the bot doesn't ask me to send them a message.
Anyhow, I'm planning to repurpose the sub for a Humankind™ community on Reddit. The goal of /r/Humankind will be to provide a safe place for informative, interesting, and humorous content and discussions related to Humankind as well as a place where people share ideas, tips, tricks, and strategies to their fellow gamers and organize groups to play the game.
I will set up some main rules and guidelines:
For more information about Humankind, I would recommend:
Visiting Humankind's Homepage for development videos and dev blogs
Visiting the official Amplitude forums
If your interesting in getting quick answers about specific features, I would recommend the Amplitude Discord. Community testers for beta branches (VIPs) regularly answer and clarify information about the game there.
User DeGreZet posts a misleading thread about humankind, and you people did nothing about it.
That thread is highly misleading. That image for Humankind is the pre-order page to receive a key buying directly from the developers website. That pre-order page, you pick a Steam key or a Stadia key and buy it from the developers.
The page before the one shown actually shows all 3 (EGS, Steam, Stadia) and links to all 3 stores to pre-order from those stores directly.
But it's r/fuckepic, being misleading is par for the course.
I highly doubt anyone will call out the OP for how misleading he is being.
I know at least myself and one other friend of mine reported that thread as being misleading , yet there it is still up and not tagged as misleading nor removed.
I could post on that thread of his misleading it is including proof to show it, only to be downvoted, and then attacked, and proof ignored, and then some time later I will see the people of r/fuckepic use that misleading information again in a future thread despite them seeing the actual facts. It is that kind of BS that I got tired of, I got tired of constantly providing facts to the same people over and over again only for them to ignore it and continue to spread the lies. That is why I am no longer posting there, and not because of your own lie about why I left.
Interestingly, Humankind does work like what you are descripting here.
Beginning from Ancient Era there will be "Independent People" on the map, wandering like barbarians. Some of them will attack you or AI, some of them will be very peaceful. They have names of ancient cultures, such as Nok, Sabine, Etruscan, etc.
Eventually the Independent People will settled down and become Independent Cities. You can hire their troops as mercenaries, give them money and eventually assimilate them into your empire, or outright conquer them. If you leave them alone and just become their patrons, they will give luxuries and strategics on their lands to you.
Currently in the OpenDev version, these Independent Peoples can eventually die out by themselves; but I think the can become more stable as some semi-city-states in the full release.
Enless Legend gives another perspective on 4X, with it's very different factions with actually different gameplay, region system and settlement expansion and quests integrated into the open-world gameplay of 4X. It is not as unique as it was before, since both CIV VI and AoW: Planetfall, erm, "learned" a lot from Endless Legend, but I'd still give it a shot if you want to show a different take on 4X.
I am not really sure if AoW Planetfall is even 4X. Instead of the typical long-term, developement-focused open-world gameplay with combat mostly abstracted you have limited developement and clear-cut missions, but tactical gameplay more reminiscent of XCOM than CIV. But if you want some 4X gameplay on a smaller scale and with more tactical combat, AoW Planetfall might be exactly the right choice.
There is still no release date announced, but if you want to give it a bit more time, Humankind is supposed to come out this year, which is Amplitude's (makers of Endless Legend/Space) Magnum Opus. After they experimented and trained with the Endless series, Humankind is now supposed to be their real CIV competitor.
Humankind an upcoming 4X game that is basically Civ by Amplitude Studio, the guys behind EL. Not much news from them so far, although it seems to takes lots of inspiration from EL.
I am a civ homer, but part of what Civ is built around is being able to replay history your own way with famous civilizations. I could see it in a cool mod, but I am not sure civ will ever change to something like that.
You might want to keep your eye out on the game Humankind. Supposed to be the challenger to civ in 4X games. Essentially each "era" you choose parts of other civs to form your own unique one.
If you don't have a games2gether account (the link is on the [https://humankind.game/](humankind website) )I would definitely check that out, it has alot of the artwork and articles that either directly or indirectly confirm certain cultures.
Humankindis an upcoming 4x game similar to Civilization series but with mechanics and developers of Endless Legend. As shown in the trailers, there will be a nomadic tribe stage.
If you visit humankind.game and register you can get a special in-game reward for Humankind to be revealed later and a special Games2Gether community badge.

I've never played one of these style of games before. I guess the closest game I have played to this is SimCity and I enjoyed it back in the day, but haven't played it recently. I'm am up in the air if I would want to take the time to develop my own civilization in a game.
