Reinforcements – Chaos Knights – New Faction
The fallen nobility of chaos has arrived to claim Gladius as their own.
The Chaos Knights bring a variety of War Dogs, Titanic Knights and disposable slaves with them.They use these slaves to empower their economy just like their brethren the Chaos Space Marines and more directly to empower their mighty engines of war.
Chaos Knights are Harbingers of Dread. Wherever they step they spread fear and misery reducing enemy morale. Use influence to empower this aspect and add new effects to your units aura.
Their arrogance and need for superiority limits the size of cities beyond your starting city. Only your starting city is able to build Titanic Knights.
There are no heroes among the Chaos Knights. As such they have no hero units ingame, instead every walker unit of theirs gains abilities upon leveling.
Your first major decision upon arrival on Gladius will be to which Dark God you swear your allegiance. This will change the cost and abilities of your War Dogs and Titanic Knights.
Allegiance to Khorne will require ore for production and add an influence upkeep. Your War Dogs and Titanic Knights will gain influence through combat and use the collected influence to activate their abilities more frequently.
Allegiance to Nurgle will require ore and food for production. You War Dogs and Titanic Knights will become bastions of filth and disease, each of them will gain ways to spread diseases among enemies.
Allegiance to Tzeentch will require ore and energy for production. Your War Dogs and Titanic Knights will awaken psychic abilities to manipulate the battlefield in their favour.
Allegiance to Slaanesh will require ore for production. Some of your War Dogs and Titanic Knights will be able to sacrifice their health for more powerful abilities. Your headquarter units will gain the ability to equip your War Dogs and Titanic Knights with items in exchange for influence.
For balance and progression reasons the War Dogs Karnivore and Brigand and the Knight Abominant have reduced stats when first researched, after researching further War Dog patterns or the Knight Desecrator they will increase in production cost and new units will be more powerful.
