Tau Empire Strategy | Locked | |

What strategies do you guys prefer when playing as the Tau? I usually build 2 basic stealthsuit squads and 2 earth caste builder drone squads and assemble a barracks ,kroot center, and power before teching up. I continue building the higher tech unit producion buildings(and another hq with power generators) before teching up. Meanwhile my stealthsuits are grabing as many points as they can. My intial army is usually 2 fire warrior squads, 1 kroot shapers, 1 standard kroot, and a pathfinder. Later I replace firewarriors with Xv8 battlesuits and get some broadsides and the standard krrot with krotox, until I have max cap, adding in hammerhead gunships if I can. |

Similar path but don't use regular kroot. First kroot center, then shapers, power gen, then barracks. Also i get one fire warrior squad, then go for the commander. Tech up, get the ethereal, level up commanders. Vehicles is kinda meh, I'm too indecisive. -- Ummm.... |

kroot alpha squads seem sucky, but early game they kick butt vs most other beginning game capture units - they're 20% faster than most others, they can cannibalize to heal up, and they're cheap. Slap shapers on em and get that also-cheap t1 charge ability and they will seriously help to cull those enemy cap teams and stave off early game assaults into your fire teams and turret lines. Or just dont bother with fire teams, and zerg with hordes of alphas until you can build barracudas. While Tau have generally sucky vehicles until the hammerheads and such, i like to build 2 of those control towers as early as possible then dominate the enemy's squishy base buildings with barracuda teams. |
