r/mechanicus

I'm on normal consistently beating all missions and consistently losing to hereteks. I have four tech priests: a melee one, a ranger one, a cognition generator and an invisible healer. I have servitors, rangers, vanguard, infiltrators, and the battle servitor (why is he a tank? I'm scared) all my tech priests have at least one fully upgraded tech tree. 54% awakening. I have the lord astronomer, the void admiral and the corrupted king unlocked. Do I fight the void admiral first?

Or a better question might be why does this bug still persist?

Tempted to buy this on steam along with the original mechanicus, but a lot of people have bad reviews. Any thoughts? Does the game play well, does it feel unfinished... etc?

I am also curious to learn how this game will be supported by the devs with patches, updates and new content.

I just finished the mission where we had to defend the forge city. The Phaeron, Sankhotep himself finally arrived(kinda early tbh because I feel like I just started the game) and he felt underwhelming. Not his power but his forces. You would think a Phaeron would be surrounded by more powerful forces to protect him why was he basically alone?

Yeah he had some minions but they were basically fodder that my forces blasted through as if they were not there. My Skitarii cut him down like swiss cheese, though he was tough and had powerful moves his lack of powerful allies made the action economy easy to kill him.

Did anyone else find this gameplay design aspect weird too? Why did the big boss not have big boss minions?

I have now completed both campaigns am got an achievement for unlocking the epilogue - I'm not sure how to start /access it tho.

Do I have to start a new campaign and it gets tacked on to the end?

So I don't know how to efectivly deal with preatorians, they ignore all my bait units and they rush for my backline and always target the squishiest units. If there are multiple of them they can easily wipe enitre blocks of skitari if they get early initiative

Whats the deal with this game? Still in a bad shape?

I'm now replaying the first game. Having completed it once, on normal difficulty with some of the custom options tweaked to raise it. At the end of the game I didn't have enough cognition points to use the heavy weapons except occasionally, when I activated the dedicated canticles.

I don't want to give every techpriest that build dip that gives an extra point at the beginning of a mission. Still I want to be able to let rip with heavy weapons late game for the fun of it.

What am I missing? Keeping techpriest next to the cognition pillars each round adds a lot of moves in combat, raising awakening

I've been wanting to play this game, however I don't want to play as the Necrons. Do you have to play as the Necronsn to experience the full story? If you play both the campaigns do you get an epilogue for the game revealing the true canon ending?

So i have encountered a bug with Scaevola it seems like I have too many perks and am unable to get past the canticles screen. I was able to bypass this by removing some perks, but my assumption is there is some error with the text under the character portrait as its already overflowing the text box.

Im at the point of no return in admech campaign and im wondering if it is useful to do all the expension before moving to the end.

Like can you conquer the tombs or does they stay like this whatever you do ?

Anybody figured how you keep your character alive in this? i used captrix and by the time i reach the first battle after deciding to reach a way out, i had my character plus eight units left, the kin's ability to counter after you kill one has destroyed almost everything i had, down to one kastelan, one electro priest, one sicarian marshall, and six sicarian rangers.
