Spartacus that battle ready trick towards the end dont really work.. ive tried healing a trooper that was less than 50% hp got him to 100% battle ends and he is still light wounded
Just a quick correction, just like it is in XCOM, the wounds mechanic is based on a percentage of hit points that a character loses. For example, if he loses 25% of his max health. He would be lightly wounded. If he loses 50% of his max health on a mission, he would be wounded and if he loses 75% of his health on a mission, he would be seriously wounded. No amount of healing at the end of the mission will remove the wounding. I wish it did work the way you described it in the video but I can confirm it does not matter if you heal them. I just had my interceptor dip down to 60% health. I healed them up full before the mission ended and he was still wounded. Other than that one thing though, great tips! Thanks for the video
After a bit more testing it would appear you are correct!!! It does look like beyond 90% of max health, it is "wounded" and then the severity of that wound (as in how many days they are wounded) is then linked to every 10% lost after that before hitting a new wound severity. Thanks for keeping me honest brother! Sorry for any misinformation that this caused!!
@@italianspartacus This is also affected by difficulty setting. I started over on easy and you can actually take a small bit of damage and not be considered even lightly wounded post mission.
Yes ive just confirm this few hours ago.. after my interceptor nearly died and i heal him + servo to full and then clear the game. still wounded 30 days if im not mistaken..
Chaos gate is such an amazing game , the game you dreamed of when playing x-com , the graphics are spot on , just , man hope this is the start of an amazing franchise
This is so helpful. I’m kind of shocked at how many of the mechanics they don’t explain at all. As an XCOM veteran, I’m surprised at how little I know about these nuances and how being unaware of these ramps up the difficulty. Thank you for this!
I'd say an honorable mention would be the Hammerhand ability, always have at least 1 person with that ability in every fight as it makes collecting seeds much more predictable instead of needing to rely on a random crit.
Another useful beginner tip that also applied to XCOM: always cycle between your Knights for available moves. It's easy enough to just select one knight and make them act until you use all their AP then move on to the next knight, however this would be suboptimal. It's better to make a move with one of your Knights, and then use another Knight's abilities depending on what you need. This is especially useful when you're doing "Willpower farming", where if you have a guy that needs to replenish their Willpower, you want them to get the killing blow so they get that Willpower point which they can then use for future engagements.
amazing video, I had to restart my campaign cause I did alot of stupid shit and couldn't progress anymore lol. after watching this video I now know what not to do. thanks!!
Agreed. I just read the tips and play something I think might be interesting but I have little doubt I'm painting myself into some as yet unseen corner. =)
I am playing on normal and only like 4-5 battles in but I am finding it super difficult to not get wounded. Have not come close to losing anyone but the length of time it takes to heal up from even light wounds is egregious. I have seen as long as 21 days. I had a dude get wounded and his downtime was -6HP for 46 days!
I messed up royally on the second mission with an aoe attack with the psilencer (I think) My guy hit a box of ammo which hurt all of my knights, bringing them down below half health. Good thing I have 4 spares...
Once you get the hang of it, it's actually easy to just alpha strike every encounter with the right tactics. My first playthrough on Standard also saw me take lots of wounds on my units, especially on the first mission (the one after the tutorial) where I pointlessly took lots of hits from cultists. On my second Standard playthrough I played that mission again, and I hosed down both enemy groups with Psychic Onslaught, which basically ended the fight very quickly so my Knights came out pristine.
The start of the game is definitely pretty difficult, as you have such low HP and the injuries actually matter. Later on it will get much easier as you get more HP and more dudes to rotate in.
@@alessimc Yeah I was actually playing on Ruthless and not Standard. Game is a lot easier on Merciful/Standard than Ruthless. I have not played Legendary and won't be.
12:07 It doesn't seem to make sense because you misunderstood it. What you deem "psychic abilities" are simply abilities that will show up on the hotbar, or their upgrades. The square ones you called "physical abilities" are unlocks for armor types, weapon types or things like wargear slots - they're not abilities.
I’d like to know why my game ran fine at first but when I re launched it, the only resolution available was 640 x 480. Is there any way around this issue? Any help is appreciated!
@@italianspartacus thanks for the reply, haven’t been able to figure out how to update them for a while. I have NVIDIA GEFORCE and it works just fine. The drivers are probably the reason.
Does somebody know how augmentations and the skill reset work, i know it revolves around two building but i was curious fi anybody already figured it out
As a new player I must say the game did an absolutely horrendous job in the tutorial actually explaining anything being done on the ship, how to start a mission, how to maintain or really do anything useful at the early game. After my first 10 ten hours once I pieced things together I realized I had to completely restart the game because I had no idea why or what I was doing. It's sad that RUclips videos are the source for learning the basic mechanics and not the "tutorial" in the game itself. This is one of those, "I regret I bought" kind of games for sure. I was hoping for something more like Mechanicus but got an overly complicated and pointless drudge of a game instead. :(
im so sick of devs using table top pnen&paper random dice rolls rules in a video games its fine for some stuff but its really annoying when u miss stuff with a 95 hit chance at point plank with a shotgun :( WTF devs its a video game u can come up with better systems
Thanks so much for watching today guys! Here's the link to my Nexus Store if you'd like to support the channel! www.nexus.gg/italianspartacus/games
Great tips there, esp. about unit info and the workings of Stun.
One (minor) correction:
11:26 _concave_ corners
Best tip right clicking to go back through menus. Why wouldn't the game tell me that lol
"looking absolutely romantic in their attire", thump up just for this expresion.

Note on Tip #6: Have all Knights activate their Aegis Shield before moving last Knight to engage. Shield will stay up as well as AP getting refreshed.

Yeah it seems like there is a meta. That is kind of a problem. But the game seems to be decent from what little I played. It is hard though.
About ability icons square is unlock, while square with inwerted angles is active ability
Thnx for the Codex tip. Massive help there. Tip of the hat.
The requisition list makes sense now. I had no idea what it meant until you explained it.
Super helpful! would love if you could go over melee vs ranged and how to build a good team with the skill trees.
I think I might do a weapon guide. Or would you prefer straight up character class break down
@@italianspartacus both?
Both :D
Agreed. I just read the tips and play something I think might be interesting but I have little doubt I'm painting myself into some as yet unseen corner. =)
@@italianspartacus i've seen some class guides in text form but no one seems to cover weapons.
Thanks for making this understandable, it is a good explanations on how the game works. 🙂
Fantastic information! Thank you.
Wow, this was crazy helpful

Yea its definitely way overturned atm, having a grey knight need 45 days to recover from a stubbed toe seems like a bit much.

Game looks like tons of fun, looking forward to your stream later!
Hope you enjoyed it dude!
Looks excellent! Kinda like a Warhammer 40,000 version of the HBS BATTLETECH
Which prolly means bye-bye free time 😓
I figured out that right clicking days into the game. Pretty nifty. You’d think the UI design was bad if you didnt know how to use the right click.
Excellent video my bro!
Play it, love it! Finally a great wah40k game! FOR THE EMPEROR!
Thanks for the video
Of course my dude!
I learned a lot from this video, I'm restarting my first play right now because I feel I'm doing soo bad I'm about to lose the game anyway.
IS, your content is so damned good. Thank you!
thanks bby!! :D
Thank you for all the helpful tips!
Waiting for the DL to he available..looking forward to my preOrder 💪😎
ty just started the DL
Great video man. Thank you
damn its here and i still hardly touched total warhammer 3... damn damn
Re: Unit info panel. Hovering the cursor over any unit and middle clicking is another option to bring up its unit card.
I like the action tip
Right click in menu is good thing, it's uprisiated when they put it in games

Nice
Do u have a video explaining the classes I just got it on xbox and I don't know grey knights very well
Most important question though, can you play as death guard?
you cannot unfortunately :(
Mortarion is a sad panda.
Maybe in a dlc or something though.
How do you get the respec skills option for your knights?
I’d like to know why my game ran fine at first but when I re launched it, the only resolution available was 640 x 480. Is there any way around this issue? Any help is appreciated!
Hmm.. What's your graphics driver situation?
@@italianspartacus thanks for the reply, haven’t been able to figure out how to update them for a while. I have NVIDIA GEFORCE and it works just fine. The drivers are probably the reason.
So I must have missed it, but what does the red number next to an enemy indicate like shown at @9:40?
Apparently is the amount of damage the knight can do to that unit if he moves there. Though not always, sometimes it just says 0.
It's the amount of ranged damage, if the knight were to shoot from that location :)
@@italianspartacus cheers mate. That makes sense!
Good vid, really liking the game so far though the UI is trash. Also it's hilarious to me that all my knights sound like variations of Dath Vader lol
What don't you like about the UI? I actually think it's pretty solid.
I dont understand warp strike I feel like I am doing something wrong
Does somebody know how augmentations and the skill reset work, i know it revolves around two building but i was curious fi anybody already figured it out
From what I've seen in other videos, you need actual DEAD knights to be able to perform skill resets.
this game is pure cocain
👃👃👃👃👃👃
Dense? like me
Only thing that really bugs me about this game is awful layout of the skill trees. Just terrible. Game is great though

I also had to restart but my second run was so much better. It is unfortunate that you have to use your first run+youtube vids as your tutorial.

Seems way too complicated
FIRST!
;)
Christ on an upside down cross this game is frustrating.
Bruh the right click for menu navigation pro tip = GOLDEN! 🦾🦾🦾
