5. T’au
T’au, which is written as Tau in the game, are actually a race that strives for unity – but demands it through extreme means. In Dawn of War, they belong to the stronger factions. They also bring several advantages:
- stealth units that are especially hard to detect early in the game
- a high range that surpasses almost all other units
- adaptability to the respective situation with more focus on close or ranged combat by constructing certain tech buildings
- enormously strong commanders
Of all factions, the T’au have the best ability to keep enemies at a distance and defeat them there. However, the reason they are not rated higher is partly because they are considered the most difficult faction to play, and partly because they are extremely vulnerable in close combat.
If an enemy army manages to reach the units – and Orks can do this easily – then they are quickly defeated. However, this also means that in teams with other factions that can protect you, you can cause massive devastation.
