Having so much Fun with a 'Seed'
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2026 7:36 am
After not understanding this game years back I am really getting into it this year (at first I thought it supposed to be a tactical shooter?). No, I couple of hundred hours in I discover more and more fun things. This one I just need to share. I played most factions now on large maps and yesterday I retuned to the Tau. They are known for converting Kroot hounds to their side. But on this map there was no a single Kroot hound found after conquering half the map and exterminating the Space Marines, one of the 4 opposing factions. But, what shocked me was the large amount of Kastelan Robots wandering everywhere. First I met four, then five more, then another four and yes, then even five more again.
And suddenly it popped in my mind that our Adeptes Mechanicus can reprogram those robots to fight on their side. So for the first time ever I copied the 'Seed Number' from the pause screen (left down corner) and started a new game with the same settings only changing my team for the Adeptus Mechanicus. I am now in the process to capture as many of those robots as I can, just because it's so funny and also a nice challenge with only some basic units and 2 Datasmith's.
I am also wondering how the map will play out if I start out as another faction and then fight against 4x Adeptus Mechanicus as opposition. Just having fun. Not sure if I am paying upkeep for those robots yet, just have to check on the next play. And I am wondering if the Ai would convert those robots as well, if they are all Adeptus Mechanicus. Not sure how the Seed works if you use different settings, got to find that out as well. Could I start a Seed Bank?
Just needed to share this joy, bye!
