It's future-proofing for a mechanic that I haven't finished yet. Once they're made, Explorators will provide blessing points via their excavations.

Is the "blessed" unit tag mostly cosmetic to keep with their religious theme? I couldn't find a way to actually upgrade the blessing.

Yes, it is intentional. They consume the raw resources of your habs and other assets to manufacture more advanced materials- iron and gems- to fund the Taghmata.

Are manufactorums supposed to provide iron or just trade? The text for them talks about iron

Titans are too large to fit the scale of CoE, and will not be added as long as 3x3 is the largest unit size. Knights will likely be added eventually- most likely the Magaera, Styrix and Moirax.

Could you add titans to that factions as tier 3 units? / and/ or add the titan legion as seperate faction/ and or add knights as their own faction?

After checking- it’s specified as a benefit of the Archmagos promotion, but isn’t specified on the Magos promotion.

I think I specified it in the ritual description, but I will change it if I didn’t.

You cannot promote a second Magos until you have an Archmagos of any type. The hierarchy of the Mechanicum is very strict, and a Magos would never share power within their forge-fane.

Err... how does Enginseer promotion work? Can I use any gems or do i need a specific amount of specific gems? I have 82 gems, but I can't use Rites of the Macrotek,

Wrong Mechanicus mod, Jecsquire :P
I’ve certainly noticed that problem, though giving Mechanicum a clean way to remove mountains and forests could easily end up being very powerful, especially against forest classes. I can add burn tags to a few units, at least.

Hmm, that would slow the start down, but once you have an enginseer promoted that sounds like a whole lot of charcoal to fund construction efforts :)

Love the mod, but I have run into an issue. since new buildings both have to be built adjacent to existing mechanicum structures and need to be on flat terrain you're completely screwed if you start surrounded by trees (like i was) or desert, hills, etc.

Ah, thanks for the info, and sorry to hear about that. Look forward to seeing what you do with them though. I'm sure that they'll be great!

Undivided Legions will probably happen when I get around to finishing World Eaters and Emperor’s Children. I don’t play either Legion, so their sprites are much more tedious for me to make.

I made Mechanicum primarily as a stepping stone for Dark Mechanicum, actually (I play DarkMech on tabletop.) First Undivided Legion will likely be Word Bearers, as they’re the one I play.

Thanks for the info and the dedication that you put into the mod.

Actually, another question if I may: Any plans for Iron Warriors and or the Dark Mechanicus?

And yeah, thank you! I had very different ideas in mind than their mod, which are, in my opinion, more accurate to the fluff and feel of the Mechanicum. Lexicanum has plenty of good info, but very little for Mechanicus. Mine is pulled mostly from 30k novels and the Liber Mechanicum rule book.

Claim a town or city and an event should create the vassal when the turn ends

Another awesome mod, Vorochi! Happy that you didn't scrap this mod, as this mod and Conquest of Mechanicus, while similar, are different beasts!

A question if I may: How are vassals formed?

It also requires you to have appropriate habs to fund them, rather than just building large numbers of manufactorums.

Yes, it is intended to. It is so that it can produce either Iron or gems.

is a Manufactorum supposed to produce 2 trade, i would guess iron according to the description.
