Sun Tzu escribió en El arte de la guerra, su tratado del siglo V a. C., que «el Supremo arte de la guerra es someter al enemigo sin luchar», un consejo que sigue siendo válido después de varios milenios.

También es la perfecta encapsulación de nuestros objetivos de diplomacia en HUMANKIND, nuestro juego de estrategia histórica por turnos. Queremos dar a los jugadores muchas opciones más allá de la guerra para ganar Fama y conseguir la victoria. Por ello, hoy nos emociona anunciar el lanzamiento de nuestra primera expansión Together We Rule y de la actualización gratuita «Metternich» que la acompaña, centrada en la diplomacia y el espionaje.+
