Yes, C/S, that is my take on the Tau also !  And I've mentioned this before, the Tau are the only "modern" army in Epic ... the rest are Hi-tech WWII, more or less (save for the 'Nids, they are more like Zulus !)!  Which I don't mind ... I kind'a think retro/sci-fi is neat !  :alien: :laugh:

However, the Tau caste system isn't exactly what I'd call ideal:"You have your place. Stay in it!"

And Tau are just as imperialist and expansionist as the Imperium, and if someone doesn't buy _their_ view of the greater good (i.e. Tau taking over the galaxy) that someone is crushed.

Oh come on. What real indication is there for them simply exterminating people who don't agree? I believe it's far more subversive than that. Constant trade barrages, infiltrating their 'thinking', turning their ideals to a more suitable and in line version. Working with diplomacy and trade to slowly make it inevitable that they'd want to join the Empire. Not exactly insidious so much as distasteful. It's not only the Shas and Kor that can "conquer" a world, they just do it faster than the Fio and the Por!

I didn't say "exterminated". I said "crushed". Germany, for example,  was crushed in WWII, not exterminated.

And like I said, let's see what happens when possessions & stuff start to appear on the Tau conquered worlds.  :devil:

I'd say less, as the Imperium seems to be unable to make suspension for their tanks. Baneblade & the other superheavy tanks seem to be the only ones having one.  :laugh:

So, what happens when some of their tech turns out to be possessed like some of the human stuff (ships, droppods etc).
