HUMANKIND TIPS UPDATE

It's no surprise that the Egyptians are considered very meta, they almost always are in these types of historical strategy games. Oh, and they get a load of science boosts, as well. So, with the Zhou, you can build lots of districts and not get a penalty. Each district you build lowers stability. Stability is what determines how happy your city is. This civ has a strong passive of +2 Stability on a District. That means there are some cultures that stick out from the rest - the 'meta' civs. Had South Africa not been that marvelous a country, the callous approach of the travel agent during the trip would definitely have ruined the experience for us.Humankind is still pretty much fresh, which means there have been little to no balance changes made to the release version. This caused an aura of uncertainty throughout our trip as we never knew what time we had to wake up the next day for the pickup. The vouchers for each day's activity were given to us only on the previous midnight. We had to wait for a longer time for the bookings to get re-listed. We reluctantly moved to Holiday Inn Express, only to realize that our booking there was cancelled due to a no-show the previous night. Upon the next day, I was told that the hotel booked for me was the Holiday Inn Express (a 3-star property), even though the package specifically included the other property. I had to pay for the first night from my own pocket. All calls to MKHolidays went unanswered & the Travel Triangle representative merely shrugged off saying that he would not be able to help as the bookings were under the agent's purview. Upon arrival in Cape Town, when we went to Holiday Inn (a 4-star property), we were told that there was no booking in our name and the hotel voucher given to us for that place was invalid. The downpayment for the car rental which was included in the travel package had not been made and I had to pay for the same from my pocket.

Without that, we had been stranded in JoBerg with no onward flight tickets. The flight ticket from Johannesberg to Port Elizabeth were given to us at midnight just before the day of our flight. We did no get the hotel vouchers till the very last week of our travel.

While they were following up with us multiple times throughout the day with even minor changes in the itinerary before we made the first payment, after that we had to call them up over 4-5 times for every update or voucher request. The approach of MKHolidays before and after the first payment for the trip was in dire contrast. The Cape Peninsula tour on the next day was equally interesting, covering the entirety of the Cape of Good Hope, the Botanical garden, Hout Bay Harbour and the most awaited Jackass Penguin colony in Boulders beach. The entire Cape peninsula as well as the town were so tiny yet so vast. The Table Top Mountain did live to it's grandeur and the view from up top was really breathtaking. The local sightseeing service available in the city was a good enough option as it drove us through almost all the places of interest within and around the city. The visit to Cape Town was as exciting as we were expecting and the city welcomed us with a marvelous evening sky as we drove in. Knysna and Oudtshoorn were another pair of scenic locations and the drive from Port Elizabeth to Kwantu to Knysna & Oudtshoorn was undoubtedly one of the best drives I have ever had. The stay at Kwantu was also equally comfortable. We were really lucky with our safari in Kwantu as we were able to sight almost all of the variety of wildlife that they have in the reserve. Th light breezes greeting you wherever you go.
