📖 Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼

Humans are the adaptable masters of all trades, excelling through versatility rather than specialization. Gold production leads at +20% from trade networks, with Food (+10%) and Research (+10%) showing agricultural and scholarly strengths. Minor bonuses to Wood, Stone, Coal, and Marble (+5%) reflect general competence. Humans lack extreme weaknesses but also lack extreme strengths in material production. Their short lifespans and political complexity increase unrest risks: Protests (+15%), Corruption (+15%), Mutiny (+10%), Epidemic (+10%). In battle, Human forces are balanced: +5-10% to all stats across all lanes, with cavalry gaining +10% Attack in Side lane. Meadow terrain and Summer season complement Human adaptability.
