I wonder if Humankind has in-game encyclopedia. I recently started playing Endless legend and i'm having hard time learning game systems. For example when I want to attack Minor village, I want figure out which type of enemy I should deal with but until I actually attack I cannot see these things. I had similar problems when I played Endless space too. I know I can find these informations on the internet such as endless legend wiki, but still it would be much convenient if the game supports encyclopedia itself.
I'm pleased to say that yeah, an encyclopedia is in the work. We won't be able to show it to you during the open-devs sadly to avoid spoil (plus it's not still a work in progress ^^).
The encyclopedia will contain pages about the game systems (kinda like an online game manual) and page more specifics about unit stats, factions etc. The specific pages will contain data taken directly from the game itself so we'll just have to press a button to update it if we patch things.
I do hope we'll be able to show you more of it soon but again, spoilers !
It would be nice if the encyclopedia also contains historic information about the cultures, units, techonology etc like the way Age of Mythology do it.
I hope that the encyclopedia also has lore on the history of buildings and units in real life like Civ 4 did. I kind of regret not reading more of that. I understand that the devs have their hands quite full with more important features but this would be a great way to learn about history.
I loved the concept of the old encyclopedia of Civilization:Call to Power, for every unit, building and even trade good or terrain tile it had 2 entries: one with an overview of the historical data, and other about how it works in the gameplay.
As far as I know, we do intend to present the historical context in the encyclopedia as well, but I'm not sure how extensive those entries will be.
It's a good idea, but it would be great to have it implemented as a drop-down menu (or otherwise) so as not to distract those who need the information only for the game.
