Humankind: How To Increase City Cap

gamerant.com:

City Capacity in Humankind determines how many Cities a player can have without incurring any Influence penalties, and starts at 2 when they first enter the Ancient Era. While some fans may expect that number to increase automatically when they enter the Classical Era and beyond, that's not actually the case. There are ways to increase City Cap in Humankind however, though they can be a little difficult to find.

Before getting into the specifics of how to raise City Cap in Humankind, it is worth mentioning that Humankind players can build more Cities than their Cap indicates. Empires that go beyond the Cap will see their Influence gains negatively impacted, though, and the penalties become harsher as more Cities are built. That said, if a player is earning a reasonable amount of Influence, they may want to sacrifice a bit of it in order to expand past their current City Capacity.

The pack added six new Cultures for players to choose from, one for each of the game's Eras.

In particular, the Bantu will need to raise their City Cap as quickly as possible as they use their Mupíà Fields Emblematic Quarter to convert Outposts into Cities. The Garamantes will also benefit from an increased City Cap, as their Desert in Bloom Trait buffs the Main Plaza in each City with additional Influence.
