Or Chaos opened a gate (huh, huh?) to a Tyranid hive fleet. Or a Necron tomb world. sure they'd make a great Lost faction for a WotC style dlc. though my point was that you can't really be surprised that Chaos is the primary enemy in a game called Chaosgate that'd be like being upset there's Skaven in Vermintide. hell they even added Chaos to Vermintide 2

I'm not surprised by chaos or grey knights, they're just kinda boring. This is a 40k game with really good mechanics even if it has balance and UI issues, so I want to see it expanded into other parts of the universe that are more fun.

Orks will fight anyone. It would be super easy to make an expansion about Orks vs Chaos.

Seems to be a common problem with 40k games these days. I liked Mechanicus but holy hell was it monotonous. Nothing but Necrons and Necron tombs from start to finish. Also Battlesector, nothing but Space Marines vs Tyranids (though I think it got some new DLC recently) Gladius has some nice variety though, making it one of the few 40k games with any replay value.

I honestly think that has to do with the way GW licenses out their games. limited factions to start and if it does well they allow more factions to be rolled in

This game is pretty great, my favourite xcom style game in a while. While I had some trouble early on and lost a few missions (probably would have helped if I remembered strategems existed), I think I'm now getting to the point where my knights are unstoppable gods. I just killed the red reaper on turn 1. Interceptors have been my MVPs, their amazing mobility with teleports, plus the auto that lets them shoot for free, makes them amazing. Purgators are coming up second though, I have one specced for Psilencer use that has been amazing, and just got a guy levelled up to use grenades who has 3 frags and 3 psychotrokes per mission, it's honestly unfair. The Justicar ability to give a teammate a bunch of AP has been clutch too. I really like the variety of classes here, it feels cool. There's a bunch of different ways to tackle enemies. I've solved overwatch by teleporting through it, tossing frags, or just having a Justicar power up their Aegis and charge straight through. I could still lose this game because I'm at 4/5 chaos gates with 2 reapers to go, but I think I might make it. Also I laughed out loud the first time I threw a grenade and it had a giant gold "WRATH" label on it. I love the dumb overwrought designs of the Grey Knights.

Psilencer purgators are insane too, their AoE weakness power plus 7 base damage weapon + crit on a 14 range psilencer that ignores low cover is ludicrous. You just drop 14 + crit damage on anyone you want.

Grey Knights are like one of maybe two good Space Marine Chapters (the other is Salamanders) and this game, surprisingly, has a likeable cast of characters and a competently told story. Unheard of things in 40k media.

I wish there was a way to get augmetics that didn't involve critically wounding a knight then praying. My go to Interceptor was critically wounded and wound up with an augment that gives him a base +1 armor, and even though that isn't broken its nice to have and I would like to add things to my other knights. I would like to choose as well since some are useless, like +25% xp. It seems like the mechanics around dead or critically wounded knights are not well thought out. Hell, trying to kill a knight for real on Normal is hard, although I haven't tried blowing them off the map with a grenade. Whenever an enemy did that my guy just climbed out after taking damage. Without doing that it takes at least 6 maps with them going down twice and then more time to allow them to heal enough to go on another mission. Edit: On Normal at least knocking your guy off a cliff with a grenade only critically wounds them so you still need to wait a long rear end time and actively try to kill one of your knights. Critical wounds still isn't good early game since they are out of commission for a long time and you probably don't have the augmetics upgrade. limp_cheese fucked around with this message at 00:10 on May 26, 2022 |

I was on 2/5 and I thought I was fine, but I didn't realize two gates could open at once, and I couldn't get to either of them cause some event had destroyed my engines. So all of a sudden I was on 4/5. Then a short while later another gate began to open, and I got hit with another event on the way there that slowed me down enough to only JUST miss getting there in time. I guess I should have upgraded my engines more? To top it off, the game over cutscene bugged out. Oh well I'm having a blast with this game and I was kinda happy to start over with all the things I've learned. Some abilities like Crushing Charge are not as fun as they sound! And does anyone else think terminator armor is maybe not worth it? With normal power armor you can pretty much take any route around the map, but with terminator armor you sometimes have to take the long way. I don't really get hit that often so the extra armor blips aren't a huge help.

I guess I should have upgraded my engines more? IMO engines and prognosticars are the most important upgrades in the game. Pretty sure it’s balanced around you hitting 1/3 of the bloom events - if you can reliably hit 2/3, you have double the mission rewards and XP you should for a given date, *and* you’re clearing bloom as fast as it’s spawning so the map stays clean. I got an event that let me choose the type of all mission rewards for a month just after one that gave +100% construction speed, so picked Servitors and pimped the ship out. Worked ludicrously well.

Are all the reapers as annoying as Munificus (damage immune when not stunned guy)? Because holy hell that difficulty spike compared to all the previous missions so far. Granted I went in blind with a suboptimal crew, if I was playing ironman that would've been almost impossible.

At which point should I bother with Batteries and Ship armour upgrades? I haven't seen a threat to the ship yet at day 114, I'm guessing something happens eventually. Also, Kai is an rear end in a top hat.

There's plenty of events that will drop hull integrity, and it's a game over of it hits 0. Threats mostly come from enemy ships on the campaign map, but there are events that can ping points off that come out of nowhere. Guns, on the other hand, generally let you engage enemy ships/ship scale threats with less risk. This means less/no hull damage taken along with free requisition. You can often take other approaches to encounters and there's times where you guns won't help you, but most of the time an upgrade battery is an I Win button. I'd recommend getting at least one hull upgrade first. You can avoid encounters where you'll need guns for the most part, but hull damage can surprise you. After that I'd prioritise the guns; less damage taken means less time and servitors spent on repairs.

You have to crit them with a melee attack then select the option with the little seed icon next to it (you will automatically get the seed if the crit kills them too). The Hammerhand skill for Justicars and Interceptors will guarantee a melee critical.

How does the enemy scaling work? Most of my guys are level 2 or 3 (still very early), but I got a level 5 dude as a quest reward. Took them onto the field and suddenly the enemies are REAL MOTHERFUCKERS who are constantly popping 5+ shields and loving my poo poo up. Did I mess up by bringing the level 5 and pushing the scaling to overdrive, without having the rest of my squad to back him up?

So I faceplanted near the end of my first playthrough and have galloped through a second I did not expect to face off against a corrupted chaos knight! I did green, yellow, blue first go Or expect the fight to go so quickly with an early gift of a librarian & paladin (didn't see either at all in my first game). Librarian, Paladin, Interceptor *2 feels like cheating.

I'm doing a second playthrough on Ruthless difficulty using a ranged squad, and it's been going surprisingly well! It's nice not having to pay any attention at all to the stun counter pretty much. That said, the Magellus fight was an absolute shitshow between the bugs and its generally infuriating encounter design. Not sure I'd have stuck with the game if I'd had to deal with it on my first run. MMAgCh fucked around with this message at 00:11 on May 28, 2022 |
