Reinforcements - Dark Mechanicum - New Faction

The Dark Mechanicum is a new faction for Gladius. They are the traitor counterpart to the Adeptus Mechanicus and make use of large quantities of Daemon Engines.

The Dark Mechanicum is primarily a copy of the Adeptus Mechanicus influenced by Chaos. Similar to how Chaos Space Marines can grant their infantry Marks of Chaos, the Dark Mechanicum can grant their vehicles Marks of Chaos and let their vehicles be possessed by daemons.
Daemon Engines are already possessed upon production and gain their boon once the proper mark has been researched.

The Dark Mechanicums infantry makes use of unstable weaponry that may leave the area radioactively contaminated. Later research can turn this detriment into a benefit for your infantry units.

Where the Adeptus Mechanicus wants you to focus every tile of your city to a specific building, the Dark Mechanicum is the exact opposite and penalises you for putting multiple buildings of the same type on a single tile.

Additionally the following DLCs add more units to the faction:

I'm looking forward to your feedback. The Dark Mechanicum is an ongoing project and everything is up for change.

For this mod I only repurposed already existing models and assets, so some units might look slightly weird. I'm sorry if this breaks your immersion.
