Section 01
The Debut of Mars on Kronus
For the first time in Dawn of War history, the Adeptus Mechanicus arrives as a fully realized launch faction. Rather than relying solely on traditional resource nodes, AdMech economy and production efficiency rely on building connected Noosphere Networks.
Section 02
How Noosphere Linking Works
Adeptus Mechanicus structures link back to headquarters to form a Noosphere Network. Expanding the network raises its level, unlocks stronger units, upgrades and research, and makes units operating inside its influence stronger and cheaper to produce.
Section 03
How Opponents Break the Network
The network creates both power and vulnerability. Enemies can target key Cogitator Relays to disconnect sections of the grid, while Adeptus Mechanicus players can combine ranged units, static weapons, Auger Vision and the Void Shield to protect important territory.
