Buy Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Tau Empire PC key

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Tau Empire adds the Tau Empire fleet as a playable faction, with new ships, Castes, gameplay mechanics and a unique Warfare system. The Tau have rapidly expanded across the galaxy using advanced technology and following the Greater Good philosophy. Their fleets specialize in long-range attacks, using powerful weapons to deal heavy damage before enemies can approach boarding distance. Upgrades and traits can further improve their Torpedoes and Ordnances.

Auxiliary ships

Auxiliary ships fill specialized roles in the Tau fleet, with each type offering distinct functions and traits:

• Kroot Warsphere: A Battle Cruiser that can fire in any direction and is impervious to almost all critical damage. It cannot turn unless given an ‘All Ahead Full’ command in a new direction.
• Nicassar Dhow: An Escort ship that can only be deployed through abilities on specially upgraded Tau ships.
• Bastion Demiurg: A low-cost Battle Cruiser that is weaker than other options but has 4 skill slots for supporting the fleet.
• Stronghold Demiurg: A high-cost Battle Cruiser with stats that almost match a Battleship.

Tau Warfare system

During the deployment phase, you choose a Warfare for the upcoming battle. It grants special bonuses and cannot be changed afterward. The two paths are:

• Mont’Ka Path: Battlesuits take part in assault actions, reducing enemy troop value by 5 and quadrupling the chance of destroying a targeted subsystem. The increased chance also applies to critical damage caused by weapons.
• Kauyon Path: Improves long-range accuracy. Starting at a range of 6k units, each ship’s accuracy loss is reduced by 5% for every additional 3k units.

Tau Castes

Castes form the Tau Empire’s favour system. Each ship can have one Caste, while a fleet can include any number of different Caste types. Each Caste serves a particular role:

• Fire Caste: Suited to close-range combat, these ships can act as vanguards while other vessels attack from a distance.
• Water Caste: A versatile Caste whose ships have an active skill that summons a Nicassar Dhow escort and a passive skill that grants a bonus.
• Earth Caste: Focused on firepower, these ships have an Experimental Railgun and an additional Upgrade slot.
• Air Caste: Increases a ship’s speed and maneuverability. Its special passive upgrade greatly reduces enemy accuracy while the ship performs a special maneuver.
