I Rip And Tear My Way Through The Tyranid Swarm | Warhammer 40k: Gladius Chaos Space Marines

[@Aurathas]

The Tyranids seem to be having a very hard time dealing with that Daemon Prince...

[@chrisspink8873]

Aurathas I mean you got really lucky it’s a late tier unit!!!

[@Aurathas]

Yeah, I was surprised to see how far down the tree the Daemon Prince was!

[@Tracer_Krieg]

"RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT"S DON--" *Knuckles crack in the distance as the Doom Slayer walks in* "That's my line."

[@Aurathas]

That's just not fair... The Imperium already gets Baneblades, they don't need HIM as well...

[@Tracer_Krieg]

@@Aurathas The Doom Slayer cares not for your feelings.

[@Aurathas]

I mean, I'm not surprised...

[@Tracer_Krieg]

@@Aurathas The thing is, Doom Slayer unofficially has his own Space Marine Chapter in the form of Boofire's Doomslayers (formally known as Twisted Cerberus, the one and only loyalist chapter of the World Eaters). It is a fan creation, but it's lore and story is damn interesting to the point that it could easily become an official chapter.

Some key points. And i've only played the game for 4 hours. You must have forgotten a lot from your previous lets plays xD *1.* Use forests for cover, dont move infantry to an open tile to attack an enemy, if a forest tile is available. 33% ranged defence is huge, over a 3 turn battle thats the equivalent of a whole unit taking 100% less damage. *2.* Don't click overwatch on 1-range melee-focused units. I've seen you do this INSTEAD of attacking. Not only is it pointless, it also actually DISABLES the overwatch, since its a toggle that is automatically enabled for all units. Units only overwatch if they havent consumed their action last turn, such as if they only moved but didnt attack last turn. As such, again its pointless to leave units stationary just because you want overwatch, move them into a better position, unless they need to stay still to heal. *3.* Don't waste resources queuing up stuff for 20 turns, you dont know how your needs will change 5 turns from now. *4.* Don't worry too much about what % bonuses a tile has, its only a bonus. Dont say "too bad there's no option to build food in this city" just because there's no bonus tile. Getting +6 food is still infinitely better than getting +0, isn't it? I was gonna make the argument that you're missing out on 600% more food, because you dont see a 10% bonus tile, but i realized 0 to 6 production is actually an infinite improvement, not a percentile improvement haha xD Those 10% from a bonus tile would only amount to +0.2 food anyway. Worry more about what you NEED, worry less about the tile bonuses. Think of it this way, would you rather get +6 food/ore NOW, and be able to afford 1 more combat unit in 5 turns, or wait 2 turns to claim another tile with the bonus on it, and get that same unit in 7 turns? If you're in combat, those 2 turn delays might be critical to survival. *5.* Leads into this, you're got so many resources stockpiled that the above point is kind of mute, you really should spend them on units to keep your defences strong. It's no problem being -6 in Food/Ore as long as you get the production up before you run out. Sitting on 200 of a resource isnt helping you in any way, especially when it takes more than 5 turns to build a unit, and another 5 turns to move it to the frontline. 10 turns is too slow if an AI army suddenly shows up at your doorstep. *6.* Keep the Warhammer coming, loving your lets plays, this is just constructive criticism =) It seems a _little_ bit annoying how Chaos Space Marines can randomly morph into Chaos Spawn, doesn't it? I mean, you build a Space Marine because you want their ranged potential, and grenades. But then the game randomly changes them into a melee-only unit you could already build anyway, but you chose NOT to build it, because you didnt want another melee unit... Get my point? I dont know how i feel about that mechanic... Maybe it's lore accurate idk.

[@Aurathas]

Thanks for the tips, I'm the first to admit that I don't really play this game in the optimal way, lol! I definitely need to stop queuing stuff up for so many turns in the future. I think I just tend to get fixated on what I want the city to be eventually rather than what is needed immediately or in the near future. Also, I appreciate the constructive criticisms, I don't mind at all as long as people don't get rude or angry about it, lol! I'm glad that youa re enjoying the videos as well! Yeah, I didn't notice the Chaos Spawn mechanic until recently, and it does seem very odd. While it is lore accurate that Chaos Marines can devolve into those things, it should be a tiny chance as there wouldn't be many old-school Chaos Marines running around the galaxy at this point if it were as common as this game seems to make it. I also think it should probably apply only to your melee marine units as that would make it less annoying from a gameplay perspective as you still have a melee unit afterward, just a weaker one.

[@AntonSlavik111]

Chaos champions are just you're normal dudes not heroes because i thought the same thing until my Marines turned into a Demon Prince.I am really liking the feel of Chaos they did a good job off making all the races feel unique.

[@Aurathas]

Ah, that's very good to know! Thanks for the info... Now, my marines need to get turning into Demon Princes, lol

[@AntonAltynbaev]

So, you do not have enough influence to found a city but you have in one of your cities two "acquire tile" in the end of a looong queue (42nd minute)

[@Aurathas]

That's true, but I needed another turn anyway as my cultists were out of movement points and weren't in position to found the city. I do need to avoid doing the claim tile thing until I need it.

[@Baleur]

There are so many misplays its not really useful to list them all xD

[@larrygaroth9773]

Love the 1 hour gameplays, already enjoy watchin it, new to the channel but you’ll be reaching 200k in no time at this pace

[@Aurathas]

Thanks, I appreciated that! I'm glad that you are enjoying the video!

[@Baleur]

1:09:30 yeah, in the first episode in the game setup screen, you forgot there's a scrollbar in the AI faction list, there were more factions underneith xD

[@Aurathas]

Lol, an extra Tyranid faction should teach me to pay more attention!

[@devintodd4341]

I wonder if the defilers are gonna be primarily artillery,melee,or both like in dark crusade

[@Aurathas]

I'm hoping both, but I'm guessing it will be pure artillery.

[@nooostop4664]

I keep thinking that the map is already covered with orkish green and that is why the tyranids are after you :D

[@Aurathas]

That would be surprising, usually it is the Necrons that take over the map if they don't get killed off early... And so far, the only factions that are gone are one Tyranid, the Astra Militarum, and the Space Marines.

[@rafthe2128]

Would you be willing to showcase "Too many voices" mod in the next part and show more different units?

[@Aurathas]

Possibly. I've never heard of that mod, but I can take a look.

[@rafthe2128]

@@Aurathas I worked on Tyranids and some Chaos units (spawn, venom, defiler, talons) SFXs and would love to see how they play out in the game. I love the quality of your videos!

[@Aurathas]

Thanks! I'll check out the mod, it definitely sounds interested as some of the sounds in the base game do leave a lot to be desired.

[@bluedemion7207]

one question is Warhammer 40k: Gladius the same as Sid Civ mejer 5 but different?

[@Aurathas]

Basically, but the only way you can win is to complete your own quest line (every faction has one) or destroy every other faction. Also, and this can be a big issue for some people, there is absolutely no diplomacy.
