Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - T'au

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 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.

Gladius Prime was known to Imperial scholars as a planet of archeological interest. During its colonization ancient relics were found, revealing hints of a shrouded past. But it was more than relics. Something awakened, an unspeakable horror from an ancient past, and the citizens of Gladius found themselves trapped in a terrible war for survival.

Gladius Prime was once a planet of peace. Now there is only war.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War brings you to a world of terror and violence. Four factions will engage in a brutal war for dominance over the planet’s resources.

In the first 4X turn-based strategy game set in Warhammer 40,000 you will lead one of four factions: Astra Militarum, Space Marines, Orks and Necrons, each with their own unique gameplay, technological tree, units and heroes.

Face a challenging AI or cooperate or compete with friends and strangers across the globe.

EXPLORE
Play as one of four iconic Warhammer factions (Astra Militarum, Space Marines, Orks or Necrons), each with their own unique playstyle and technology tree. Explore a randomly generated world filled with special features and threatening wildlife that can crush your troop's morale. Secure control of powerful ancient artefacts to grant you an edge against rival factions.

EXPAND
Construct cities, buildings and fortifications to expand your empire and produce an army to vanquish your foes. Harvest resources and research new technologies to fuel and upgrade your machinery of war.

EXPLOIT
Progress through a different storyline with each faction as their destiny on Gladius Prime, a world tainted by the warp, unfolds. In the end, when all the dust has settled, only one faction can emerge victorious.

EXTERMINATE
Command a wide array of devastating weaponry, issue city edicts and deploy tactical operations. Recruit hero units that possess distinct special abilities and can be equipped with items, ranging from advanced grenades to mighty relics of the past. As they become more and more powerful with each rank, they turn into true champions of your cause.
