The Mechanicum needs to specialize if they’re going to succeed.
There’s a catch, though – tiles that have different types of buildings will instead see a penalty to their output. Even better, Martian Enginseers are masters of compact building – some of their tiles can hold more than three buildings, allowing even more stacking bonuses! Any player can stack ore extractors on the aforementioned mineral-rich tile an Adeptus Mechanicus player will get more out of doing so. Mechanicum cities see their output increased if they have multiple copies of the same building type on a tile. An ore mine on a mineral-rich tile is usually a good idea, and research buildings on tiles that give a bonus to research is a no-brainer. Whether these structures train units, extract resources, house workers, or do any of the myriad things the player needs them to do, the player is typically free to place buildings wherever they’re needed.
The Adeptus Mechanicus favors optimization and efficiency in their economy – not surprising, considering their background! In Gladius, each tile within a city’s borders can hold up to three buildings. Veterans of the Astra Militarum (one of the game’s four factions available in the base game) will feel the most at-home with the Adeptus Mechanicus, who whose Doctrina work like Edicts, but affect units rather than cities and grant army-wide bonuses that can turn the tide of battle. The Mechanicum’s gameplay sees them doing all the things the other factions do settling in expanding territories, unlocking their tech tree, and sending dozens of units into the meat grinder for tile-by-tile territory gains. Longtime players of Gladius won’t see anything too out-of-the-ordinary when they first take to the field with the new faction. That looks like a lot of special rules, but the faction still plays pretty normally. It was only a matter of time before the Adeptus Mechanicus joined the fight for Gladius Prime. Games Workshop‘s decision to bring the Priests of Mars to the forefront of the setting alongside the Space Marines, Tyranids and other iconic factions served to cement the Mechanicum’s popularity, and the rest is history. The Adeptus Mechanicus, formerly-human cyborgs who worship technology but shun progress, have been part of the 40k lore since the beginning but only became available on the tabletop in the last decade. Proxy Studios’ entry into the impressive list of Warhammer 40,000video game adaptations has been going strong for just over three years now, and the latest DLC adds a longtime fan favorite to the list of playable factions.
