Summary


Mankind is a persistant universe, a playing space where time takes its widest dimension, with more than 200.000 players from all over the world, and a space constantly changing. In this real time 3D strategy game, you run a fleet, you colonize planets, or you build empires... You would have to fight, to trade, to explore a universe including millions of planets. More than a simple strategy game, Mankind® offers you an expanding universe on an unlimited playground...
 
 

 

Game Info


Pioneer, you arrive in a galaxy under way of colonization, in which you will have to live according to your aspirations. You can act as you wish, trade, explore, exploit, create huge land and spatial armadas; while allying with other players and taking part in the creation of new empires… You are the master of your fate and you alone will choose your inclinations, there's no limit except the one you'll have set.....

Mankind, a 3D real-time strategy game where you are sharing space battles, political affairs, trading, quest, and power. Its persistent world is the first ever developed on the net, without any limit, neither in space nor in time, gathering players from all over the world in the same parallel universe who create their own destiny in a story to write each day...

Mankind does not have a direct goal and thus no end. Everyone can play itself the  existence, which he wants. Attack other Structures and Ships as a Pirate, to become rich as a dealer (by shipping raw materials or selling ships) or even by creating their own Empire.

You cannot die - even if you loose all your ships and structures, you will be transported to the next Imperial Base to fulfil Imperial Missions to get any money again… to start over again.As it's a parallel World, Mankind is open round the clock and 7 days a week. Whether you are online or not, time never stops in Mankind. When you're offline, your spacecrafts stay in the Universe and keep on performing the orders you've allocated to them :

* your Mines keep on extracting resources,
* your Factories keep on manufacturing spacecrafts,
* your Freighters keep on transporting resources.
* if a player launches an attack while you're sleeping,
* your spacecrafts will then automatically fight back.

Even better, we can send a you message on your mobile phone to notify of an attack! All this will happen under the eyes of other online players from all over the world... you all play in the same World !!!

The Good

The Bad
Mankind is the genre daddy, a fully persistent one universe MMORTS. All exists in real time and players have many choices how to engage within the game. Long game time has led to a rich history and the recent revival has brought many back to the fold.

Quantex, a French developer recently undertook to update the graphics and bring Mankind back online for 2010. This was successful with the creation of the new Outer Universe which uses the latest client v1.9. Subscriptions are working again and the BETA can be played for free. A new review is coming.
