Outmatching The Militarum | T'au Campaign #2 | WARHAMMER 40K: Gladius - Relics Of War

[@TsunamiWombat]

Utopia is a T'au bonus. • Utopia: Each new type of building in a city increases loyalty, each duplicate building decreases loyalty. So you do not want to double up on buildings (which you have already done by building 2 barracks) The Volley Fire ability on your T'au fireblade is a passive ability, which is why you cannot use it. It automatically affects all adjacent allied troops. It increases the ranged attack of allied units next to your fireblade WHO HAVE NOT MOVED. Meaning you want to move them next to the fireblade and keep them there. Shuffling your units around loses the bonus.

Thankyou! But I think he realises the latter about halfway through this episode thankfully :)

[@JanetOnOccasion]

Ah so that's what Utopia is. Enjoy me completing this playthrough in ignorance of that since I'm already done recording it. I think saying not to double up on buildings is actually wrong, though. The loyalty debuffs seems minor compared to be able to recruit infantry twice as fast, so clearly it's not a rule without exceptions. Also, don't use caps like that in future because I will certainly ignore you out of spite. Regardless of how you meant it to sound, that's not how it reads. Thanks for the info :)

@@JanetOnOccasion yeah sorry, np. anyway you figured out the passive thing immediately after I posted this, I only posted before watching the whole video because I had intended to on video 1 and completely forgot. Re: the Utopia bonus, looking at the numbers you're right - the bonus far exceeds and malus from the occasional double dip. I suspect it's there just to prevent people from making pure factory towns that are just resource buildings spammed 3 to a tile

[@thyrussendria8198]

My personal guess on the "Utopia" modifier is that it is a special thing for the T'au that basically eliminates the loyalty loss from population, or at least slows it down, by giving you a loyalty bonus as large as your citizens.

[@duke_revna6404]

Playin' it too and havin' a blast. Must have if you like T'au. For the Greater Good!

[@patraic5241]

I understand why my first play through ground to a halt. I had that awful tundra terrain to build on. I also understand why I couldn't build enough. It didn't dawn on me to build additional barracks.

I'm enjoying this series. I want this game, but cannot afford that $90 price tag with the DLC included.

[@JanetOnOccasion]

I really don't blame you. The only reason I'm actually able to do the series is because the publisher got in touch with me. That price tag is a huge hurdle!

[@DaThingOnTheDoorstep]

50:52 Gonna have to do an ackhually here, but the first Space Marine Primarch to fall to Chaos was Lorgar of the Word Bearers and he ordered Horus to be corrupted as well.

[@JanetOnOccasion]

Noted. I've already explained several times that 40k isn't something I follow closely. Though I think for adding context to that it was enough, honestly. Horus bad man from long ago. Horus do civil war.

[@DaThingOnTheDoorstep]

@@JanetOnOccasion Don't worry, I only remembered because I play Word Bearers in tabletop exactly because they were the first Legion to fall.

[@cobruh836]

the game looks way more like endless legends instead of civ

[@thyrussendria8198]

If I didn't know better, I'd dare say that parts of the Chaos City are reused assets from Dawn of War 1, like the Generators.

[@JanetOnOccasion]

They're certainly similar but I'm pretty sure those same features exist as terrain that GW sells :P

[@jamrocks464]

A lot of the buildings in the cities have the same model as the Dawn of War 1 ones. The Tau HQ is also literally the same as in DoW1 and also a few Necron buildings are the same like the generators.^^

[@UnBotCualquiera1]

I think this game is more like endless legends tbh.
