The Noosphere Network
The Noosphere Network links buildings, static weapons and units to the headquarters. Each structure added raises its level, unlocking powerful units, upgrades and research.
Units inside the network's reach become stronger and cheaper to produce. For opponents, breaking and disconnecting the network matters as much as fighting the army.
Auger Vision shows a heatmap of enemy activity under the fog of war: not exact, but enough to stop a threat before it grows.
Range, Knights and the Void Shield
Ruststalkers lure enemies into melee while Skitarii Rangers fire from a safe distance, the faction's signature combo.
House Raven lends the Mechanicus Knight Castellans, which arrive by Drop Keep. The Void Shield covers a huge area: enemies can walk in but cannot shoot through.
Potentia Delta-9 sides against the Magos Dominus; Marshal Sek-Ix-23 serves him and buffs everything around him.
