One of the many gameplay features that Humankind and Civilization share is how the campaign is separated into Eras. The Early Modern Era is the fifth of seven Eras and roughly signifies the final mid-game stretch as players prepare to transition into the end-game. Consequently, it's important that players choose their Early Modern Culture carefully, to ensure that it adheres to their game plan for the coming era.

Each Culture is separated into one of seven Affinity Traits, which complement the following playstyles:

Aesthete Influence and diplomacy
Agrarian Population growth
Builder Internal Empire improvements
Expansionist Empire expansion
Merchant Trade
Militarist War
Scientist Science
