“Perfected over decades of interplanetary warfare, the Gladius's armor and powerful cannons make it a good all-purpose ground unit. Its 360 degree turret provides independent movement and targeting.”
MUM[1]

The Gladius is the Human main battle tank.

The bread-and-butter tank of the Human faction. The Gladius houses a separate firing chamber for its twin-mounted cannons. These cannons can fire independent of the facing of the Gladius, allowing it to move while firing. The Gladius takes a moment to deploy its gun before firing.

Background[]

Out of all the units in the Human arsenal, the Gladius more closely resembles a classic tank. The firing chambers are separated from the thrusters and set on top of a freely rotating disc. This allows the Gladius to move while firing its canons in 360 degrees. Its weapons excel at punching through armor to strike at vulnerable mechanisms inside. The Gladius remains a staple of many Human armies, a testament to the efficiency of warmachines created in the early years of mankind.

Overview[]

As human robotics grew more advanced, the need for more powerful units and improvements in manufacturing led to the creation of the Gladius. Akin to the tanks of 20th century human warfare, the Gladius sports a separate firing chamber, allowing it to fire its powerful twin cannons independent of its facing.

Tips[]

  • Due to their high armor, Gladius units are ideal for the front lines.
  • Because it can move while firing, the Gladius is an ideal skirmisher.
  • After a large battle, use Gladius units to chase and destroy fleeing enemies.
