«Masters of the calculation of war, the Adeptus Mechanicus faction is relatively fast, excels at ranged combat, and is armed with a wealth of combat tools that rely on their unique access to technology,» explains development team King Art Games. «With a focus on precision, synergy, and overwhelming technological superiority, the Adeptus Mechanicus are not just engineers or scientists; they are instruments of war.»
In combat, Adeptus Mechanicus entrusts itself to the Machine God and deploys the following units.
- Skitarii Scouts: They use galvanic rifles and if they do their job well they do not allow enemies to reach melee range.
- Kataphron switches: armored switches designed to break battle lines and fortifications.
- Corpuscarri Electropriests: They use electrostatic gauntlets to punish their enemies with the pure energy of the Driving Force.
- Kastelan Robot: A huge, ancient robot that unleashes storms of phosphor fire. The Datartfícies adjust their battle protocols.
- Ferracechadores Sicarianos: a squad of elite cybernetic assassins who, thanks to stealth, can surprise the enemy.
- Iron Striders: Agile snipers who provide fire support where they are needed.
Onager Crawler: A flexible weapon platform that acts as a support. - Skorpius Disintegrators: Act as artillery using Belleros energy cannons.
- Castellan Knight: His dual plasma core powers an imposing arsenal of weapons that transform him into one of the most outstanding artillery Knights.
Adeptus Mechanicus has two augmented commanders. Players can choose between the Technoarchaeologist, Potentia-Delta 9, or the Skitarii Marshal, Sek-Ix-23. Potentia-Delta 9 commands servoskulls to track enemy movements and detect ambushes, while Sek-Ix-23 marches alongside his Skitarii Vanguard and reinforces his allies. To units and commanders we must add the Noosphere Network, which increases the flow of sacred data, production and optimization.
