I've thought that maybe I've missed something, but I can't find any trace of news about recent (25 February) release of Tau DLC for WH40k Gladius: Relics of War.

In fact I've learned about its release by accident, when visiting steam page and looking through updates (I own game and DLCs on GOG, but stuff about updates is IMO better done on steam page).

Just a mistake? Gue'la conspiracy? We may never know :]

GoG should work more on newer games up to datedness and mod support :P
Best would be if DLC-s would be cross-platform able.

IMO one of the most important aspects of DLC is possibility to play with people who don't own it (which of course occurs in case of games with MP mode). But this thing is mostly depending on devs. Fortunately, developers of Gladius made it in optimal way - whenever there is DLC, there is also update for base game which basically contains new stuff (DLC itself is just small package which "unlocks" content). In multiplayer you can freely play with anybody, even if you don't own any DLC at all. And while you can't play as one of the additional races if you don't own DLC, you can still have additional units from reinforcement pack (in multiplayer), even if only host owns the DLC.

Sadly, I must agree that no access to mods is an issue for some games on GOG. Fortunately, in case of Hotline Miami 2 one of the users made great work to gather content of additional levels/campaigns from Steam workshop and packed them to make available for GOG users, but I guess that it's not always possible (not to mention that it requires from someon to won game on steam and make all stuff connected with downloading mods/levels/etc.

Anyway - getting back to topic - I've just played a bit in Tau DLC and for now it seems that on the one hand Tau have relatively similar model of economy as IG (for sure the same resources), they have great advantage with auxilary units (ability they can use once on every turn - for some amount of influence they're taking control over neutral Kroot Hounds or Vespids (new neutral unit) squad. It seems to give them very noticeable advantage at the beginning of the game.

Mods have been around long before steams scummy attempt to monetise and control it. Any product supporting workshops should be banned. Most of workshop is taking other people’s work and selling it anyways, even beamdog would be bashful.

You missed something ;)
Here is the store page you’re looking for: Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - T'au

EDIT: My bad, I didn’t understand that you were looking for a news post about this release.

Yes, indeed, it was just about the news :) In fact I think that I've bought this DLC (eh, my weak will) and played it before writing the first post.

Really neat faction, I would totally recommend it even if someone didn't liked previous factions DLC (Tyranids, Chaos).

And if someone didn't bought so far any DLC to Gladius - I would risk the thesis that Tau is the best as first choice DLC.
