Description

Never have the T’au been so close to extinction. Your homeworlds are surrounded. The Swarm, the machines, Men…
To ensure the survival of the T’au, your fleet was dispatched. The Fourth Expansion, to claim new, rich worlds.
Yet the warp swallowed us. Your ship emerged alone. War-ravaged. Alien. This was not the paradise promised.
Bu you will conquer it. For the T’au. For the Greater Good. For your survival.


The T’au Empire joins the fight for the domination of Gladius Prime.

Driven by a constant ambition to expand and spread the word of the Greater Good across the Galaxy, they will seek to assimilate or eliminate all the other opposition races on the planet.

With 31 new units, the T’au can deploy an impressive and lethal army. Between swarms of drones and powerful battlesuits, you’ll be in no shortage of tactical options.

Convert Auxiliaries

One of the most powerful weapons of the T’au is their ability to seek new allies. They are able to spend influence to convert certain neutral units like Kroot Hounds and the brand new Vespid Stingwing to their cause.

For the Greater Good

The core philosophical concept at the heart of the T’au. Demoralize your opponents and reduce their units’ morale to 0 by spending influence. Proselytise and immediately gain population in your cities.

Subversion

Turn your enemies’ servants against their masters. Through precise use of propaganda, you will be able to cripple the loyalty of enemy cities.

Battlesuits

A T'au Battlesuit is an advanced powered combat exoskeleton that forms an integral part of the T'au Fire Caste's military forces. Customize them by mounting advanced support systems.

Drones and Markerlights

Deploy many different designs of drones, miracles of T’au technology, that provide offensive, defensive and tactical support. Make use of Markerlights to maximize your firepower.

People often make the mistake that T'au can't fight in GLORIOUS, HONORABLE MELEE! To the T'au, melee range is A LOT farther than we simple Gue'la can understand. To them, as long as they can see you, it's considered way

Okay, let's get serious here. This was the saddest of the faction stories. Seriously... These Tau bastids. Having said that, Mechwarrior as seen by aliens. A really fun faction that is really weak early but gets strong

Feel like Gladius is 3X game? Put the eXploit back in with: + converting wild kroot hounds and vespids + trading influence for, well, everything + demoralising your enemies + bringing down loyalty of enemy cities For

TL;DR: Recommended only if you own DLCs that give more units for this faction This faction starts off extremely weak but eventually becomes more average by the mid-game. The goal is thus to survive until the mid-game,

This is a really high quality expansion: the implementation of T'au is spot on in both mechanics and feel, and creates a unique gameplay style that I haven't seen in Warhammer 40K Gladius or indeed in any 4X game. T'au
