    Errrrm.... The Deciever was in the original game, it was broken as fuck in pvp games because the fake monolith would constantly draw aggro and amke you re-target your units all the time. Also, if oyu stole a squad wirth a comander, you could get that commander for free if you detached him, which was probably a bug. Yea, fuck that unit, one of the reasons you should never go into a late game vs the Necron unless you are playing IG or DE.

      @iglidor 5 місяців тому +2

      Time to get back to this comment since things changed a lot from those times. I played a lot of Unification since then and I must say, it was fun ride, but for me who prefers single-player campaign, it became kinda boring.
      Great strength Unification has over UA is that feels quite balanced. Your T1 units have little chance to rush-crush oponent base. All but the lightest vehicles are almost invulnerable unless you have anti-vehicle units. And you do not unlock armored vehicles, anti-vehicle and anti-structure tools untill you are T2.
      Problem is, that this applies to all races and there is very little you can do to deviate from this. Every battle was going exactly like clockwork. Do some inf vs inf combat. And then just delay untill you can spawn vehicles to be able to kill enemy fort. Even if you would push him back and have horde of infantry bashing his fort, it would take so long to kill it that you would still have plenty of time to get to T2 and get vehicles that would actualy do the kill.
      And it became boring after while. On other side Ult. Apocalypse changed quite a bit. It now also has increase campaign squad/support caps (iirc it did not before) and the difference between races are much larger, with myriad of options on how to fight your enemy even from the very first tier.
      At this point Ult.Apocalypse is doing everything that I wanted from Unification and feels different enough to bring plenty of new enjoyment.
      Only crucial difference (if you ignore all the super super ultra late game upgrades for Ult.Apoc.) is that you do not have persistent bases on conquered territories. Other than that, Unification mod seems to be bit more polished, but UA offers way more variety in how you can aproach the combat and does not shy from giving huge amount of power to higher tier units.

      It does make some sense. Kinda bizarre to think that when Dark Crusade released we were still in oldcrons, but we've not only had newcrons, but we've cranked the Newcrons so hard they've become the posterboy villains twirling mustaches skipping over the Silent King's angst phase. Necron lore's honestly been some of the most changing faction lore in the setting. It's just also sorta crazy Unification went full-tilt to add in as much Newcron stuff as they have.
