“Ask not the Aeldari a question, for they will give you three answers, all of which are true and terrifying to know.”
— Inquisitor Czevak

Eons ago the Old Ones and the Necrons fought The War in Heaven. The Old Ones lost, but their mantle was inherited by one of their creations—the Aeldari, a psychically-powerful race of immense sensitivity. Over the subsequent millenia, they ruled the galaxy, slipping over time deeper and deeper into depravity and arrogance.
Their golden age ended with the birth of Slaanesh, the Chaos God of pleasure. At the moment of her birth, the core of the Aeldari civilization was utterly destroyed, its citizens’ souls and even its pantheon all but consumed by the nascent god. Where the Aeldari homeworlds once were, now there is only the Eye of Terror, a massive rift into the Warp. Only a few Aeldari survived: the hardy Exodites; the degenerate Drukhari and mysterious Harlequins, hiding in the Webway; and the restrained Aeldari, on enormous ships known as Craftworlds. Doomed and declining, the Aeldari seek to avoid their own consumption by Slaanesh at all costs. They find themselves on Gladius Prime, chasing a Farseer’s prediction that this planet is key to the survival of all Aeldari...

The Craftworld Aeldari enter the fray with 19 new units and unique gameplay mechanics.
The Craftworld Aledari roster of units is extremely versatile: Aeldari units are absolutely lethal from a distance, but you won't lack for deadly close combat options either.
Exploit the Webway Gates to achieve incredible mobility on the battlefield, but be wary, for Aeldari lives are rare and precious and any loss will be felt greatly.

Webway Gate
Exploit your knowledge of webway gates to activate them and move swiftly across the battlefield.

Webway Redoubt
Found a city on top of an activated webway gate to fortify Craftworld Aeldari’s presence on Gladius.

Remnants of the Fall
Reduced city growth rate. The last remnants of a people whose mere dreams once overturned worlds and quenched suns.

Asuryani Arrivals
Call upon offworld Asuryani to join you and temporarily boost your growth rate.

Transcendent Bliss
Focus the Aeldari’s spiritual consciousness to experience a period of increased loyalty towards your cause.

Spirit Preservation
Gain energy for every fallen Aeldari unit.

Battle Focus
Many Craftworld Aeldari units can move after using their actions.

Ancient Doom
The Aeldari loathe and fear She Who Thirsts above all else, increasing their accuracy, but also the damage taken when fighting the forces of Chaos.

Kurz-REview zum Eldar DLC für Gladius

Eldar scheinen soweit gut gebalanced zu sein und machen Spaß (Schwierigkeitsgrad auf dem gespielt wurde: Schwer).

Meine Eindrücke zusammengefasst:
- Sehr gute Infanterie im Early Game, Probleme gegen harte Ziele. Das ändert sich im Midgame.
- Dank der Spezialmechaniken wie Webgatereisen und benötigter Stadtedikte sehr Einflussintensiv.
- Webgates ermöglichen schnelles reisen und vereinfachen Einheitenpreservation (Zurückziehen und heilen)
- Obacht bei Chaosfeinden --> Eigene EInheiten treffen sie zwar besser, man kassiert aber auch gleichermaßen viel mehr Schaden von ihnen
- Coole Fokus Mechanik: Ermöglich Rückzugsgefechte, Eldar können eine Aktion durchführen und scih hinterher trotzdem noch bewegen.

It's funny...I don't even like Eldar... but they are very fun to play. They have interesting gameplay and units. Overall a great DLC and if you like Gladius and just want more you should get it.

I hope for Adeptus Mechanicus to be next!

I'm not a hardcore strategy fan. I just want to fight a war with my favorite 40k faction.

And this game delivers.

I know it's an old cliche, but this dlc really makes you feel like an eldar. From the huge amounts of awesome lore, to the way the faction is balanced. It organically forces you to behave like the Eldar if you want to survive. Tons of witches, guerilla tactics, hiding in the forests, slaying anyone who dares cross into your territory.

GOD this game is cool!

The only problem with this dlc is the writing. It's clear someone incredibly talented and passionate about the eldar wrote this, but the writing itself reads like a first draft that got rushed out the door. It's choppy, there's some typos, and sometomes just a pain to read. Like I said, it feels like they released the first draft of the script and never did a second pass through. It's super off and detracts from some genuinely fascinating lore.

I wish there was some minor 40k style diplomacy. Demanding tribute from other factions, holding heroes captive for ransom, forming temporary alliances to take out a greater threat. This sort of thing happens in the 40k books and games, so it's odd that they decided to scrap diplomacy entirely.

But for real, this game is amazing.

In my opinion, this one is not as unique as the Chaos Space Marines or Tau factions (or Tyranids for that matter), but it's still a nice expansion to have for Warhammer 40K Gladius. Aeldari play more or less exactly like you would expect glass cannon space elves to play, which is both good and a bit of a letdown. The game didn't have a faction like this in the base game, so it *is* a welcome addition, and like every previous DLC they integrate seamlessly from graphical, roster design, and gameplay style perspectives. The Aeldaris' most impactful unique quality is their ability to move after attacking, which lends itself to more potent guerilla-style tactics and plays a huge role throughout the game. Teleporting through webway gates is only super game-changing in 1v1 scenarios, since pouring resources into early harassment will typically slow down your own development as well and is untenable with 3+ opponents. Overall, I would say this is a faction that reaches its top potential for fun, unique rush gameplay mostly in head-to-head matchups, and in larger games needs to focus on locking down, beaming economy and science, and trying to get Wraithblades and other supremely powerful units before venturing out.

On the other hand, even more entertaining than playing Craftworld Aeldari is playing against them! Destroying their gates / potential expansion sites and locking them down is a satisfying addition to the early and mid-games for all factions, and it is critical to do so to cripple their economy before the Aeldari snowball out of control. I like to play vs 5+ random AI, so having to take care of gates on the off-chance somebody is Aeldari is a good extra consideration to balance. Here's hoping Drukhari get added to the game too, and bring more unique mechanics and elements to think about!

Writing my first ever review to tell you not to buy this poorly thought out, absolutely banal content. The Aeldari's mechanics put them at an overwhelming disadvantage from turn one, between their fragile, ineffective units being unable to survive combat with basic neutral units, to their webway gates. Which are required to found cities. And can be destroyed very easily. Awakening a gate will, 9/10 result in it's destruction within 2/3 turns as the AI focuses fire on them to the exclusion of all else. Reinforcements are worthless as they cannot attack in the turn they emerge and will simply be over-watched to death immediately. Not to mention the quest line which involves infinitely spawning mid tier Necron units spawning around not only your cities, but also any awakened (and extremely fragile) webway gates you've managed to protect up to that point. Playing the Aeldari is simply an exercise in masochism, as there is no enjoyment to be gained from their absurdly poor implementation.

Only get this if you are supremly patient. At the end of every turn you will see countless attacks against your webways, where you can get through a single turn in seconds with any other factions. With Eldar it takes 3-4 times as long, each turn. I wanted to play the Eldar as they are what i play in TT. But it gets so slow and boring to watch the constant gateway attacks.

Garbage. Do not buy, broke the game. Maybe in a couple years, on sale, after they're all done wrecking the game every few weeks with MP 'balancing' patches.

Buy this if you'd like to face-roll your keyboard to victory, or watch the AI Eldar sweep the map in 90% of the matches they're present in. Whichever fanboi was in charge of this mary-sue mod, I mean DLC, needs to be busted all the way back to the QC department.

Just stupid to play with or fight against.
Every Eldar vehicle present needs to have about -2 armor and -20% HP. Economy is broken for several other races, so these guys come across as spam monsters.
Their Wraithknight has more hp than a city, Nine armor for 75%, +33%, +33% damage re-cuck-tion & enough firepower to vape one and a half units of any type per round, it's near invulnerable to melee and grenades with a passive 50% accuracy reduction at one tile range. Also: Jumps, for a retreat that ignores zones of control, so you can't kill it. Not that it would ever need to, it can withstand literally 70+ lascannon hits. They should have just called it a Revenant class TITAN and been done with it. The retarded thing isn't even their top tier unit. They get a Baneblade on top of it. But once they have two or three of these on the field they don't need anything else. At all. Fear not though, if your opponent is anything but incompetent, you lost in the midgame the moment he got wraithguard, and/or walkers, so you won't see these monsters.
Their fragile little warpgate cities are anything but: at full hp and nine armor (whereas everyone else gets six). I could go on, for days... (Correction: same armor as everyone else, just more hp. Seer can buff the armor of the city.)

I will say however, their gamplay, as all the races in this title, is starkly different from the other armies, they capture the feel of what I imagine Eldar would be, and have a pretty revealing story. Like I said, wait.

This content is half cooked. I would wait till they fix and balance it. Looks pretty, but isn't the Eldar you know. Almost none of the aspect warriors are represented.

They certainly play like Aeldari. Fragile, hit and run tactics. They fixed the problem with gates by the way. The gates make things interesting and the Eldar are a potential snowball faction. Pick up if you like knife ears in space.

Saw too many positive reviews and felt compelled to say something. This DLC sucks at the moment and needs heavy tweaking but it has potential. The artwork for example is great and certain perks for their units like moving after shooting and having extra movement are fine ideas for the Aeldari.

Example of a few issues.
-You can only colonize on certain rare tiles that are destructible by neutral and enemy forces who have a seething hatred of them to the point where they will ignore your army to destroy a gate and neutral forces will do ALL they can to clear the map of them. This is a severe handicap as you can't do anything about it or create new gates or anything. Not to mention this is really a copy of the Necron mechanic which is executed far better.
-You have no bonuses to an early game economy yet are playing a faction that needs to expand quickly to save the gates. On top of this the Aeldari are far too reliant on influence with no bonuses to getting it. In fact they just unlock more ways to spend it.
-You spend influence to turn on a gate so you can use it then influence per a unit who consume their action when moving through the portal. This leads them to walking into enemies and dying as even the wildlife will pounce on you.
-The unit roster isn't very faithful to the Aeldari. It's missing key units like Dark Reapers, Warp Spiders, Vypers, Falcons, and Dire Avengers. I get they all can't be in the game but the units chosen at the moment don't gel together. Then they did things like puts War Walkers into the late game but the Avatar of Khaine in the early game. Your starting unit is Guardians, which is a ranged unit with no range. That's right he has to get directly in front of a unit to attack it leading him to die from overwatch or be killed by enemy unit that takes his target's place.

In conclusion, wait for them to patch this DLC unless you just want Aeldari as an enemy faction. Milk for the Khorneflakes and what not.

Another great DLC for a fantastic game. The Aeldari infantry are squishy, but pack quite the punch. Their ability to fire and then move is of an incredibly high value as well. And all of their light infantry have fleet meaning they have an addition +1 movement making them very fast on top of everything.
Their vehicles are not as sturdy as Astra Militarium, but their firepower and flexibility makes up for it, from the Wave Serpent transport with possibility to temporarily sacrifice armor to perform a secondary attack that slows down the enemy, to the weapons platform that has a damage bonus based on how slow the target is to the fantastic fire prism that can link their fire with another fire prism for an even more devastating attack.
The webway gates make the Aeldari even more flexible and highly mobile, able to react to an attack at any point of the map where you control a webway gate and you can even spring a surprise attack on the enemy by activating a webway gate near their base and sending your army through it.

All in all a great addition to a superb game. My opinion has always been, if you have a great foundation, then just keep adding to it. This game fits the bill, alongside games like Age of Wonders Planetfall and Total War Warhammer 2.
If you enjoy Gladius from before I find it highly doubtful you won't enjoy this DLC and if you haven't played Gladius yet - I would say now is a good time to get started as they are getting very close to having all the factions in the game now with Space Marines, Necrons, Orks, Astra Militarium (Imperial Guard for you old school people), Tyranid, Chaos Space Marines, T'au and now Craftworld Aeldari. And I am sure there is more to come!

The DLC is good, I like the faction, though I do think some adjustments should be made.

The starting unit they get is a melee unit that uses ranged weapons, meaning it has a range of 1 yet gets debuffs for cover like trees. I think they should up the range by 1, and maybe reduce the damage when not right next to an enemy in compensation since even necron warriors will outrange them, once your melee unit is unlocked there is just no point in using the starter unit anymore since it cannot compete, especially against ranged factions as most Aeldari units get slaughtered approaching an overwatch, which the melee unit ignores.

My second problem is since they don't have a strong economy early on, they can't get many units, plus the units already take a long time to make, leading to a defensive playstyle early on as even neutrals can decimate you if you are not careful. If you take too long however, or if you get unlucky and spawn next to an enemy faction, they can destroy potential city sites (webway gates) if you have not claimed and are protecting them, and if you want to settle maybe the center of the map or the other end, might as well forget that idea since factions will destroy the gates pretty early on around them. If the Eldar are pushed back or lose a city, those sites are lost permanently as well, so a losing Eldar will die most of the time since it can only go downhill from that point on. To counter this there should be some form of construction for webway gates, or at least a reconstruction of destroyed gates where they used to be, unless there is and I just am not seeing it.

Overall, the faction is a glass cannon that uses hit-and-run tactics, that can't stay for too long, or else it risks massive losses, if you don't like that, I would stay away, although I have enjoyed the faction so far, which I usually hate this type of playstyle. Some minor changes though would improve the faction, in my opinion.

Great DLC, very good implementation of the Eldar and their lore. All race DLCs are so worth it. Every race is so different. One of the best wh40k and civ like games out there.

Thanks you again Proxy for this new content, keep the great work!

A superb soundtrack
New race specific mechanics
Nothing to say this DLC is worth it if you like the faction and/or you want to support the development team for the follow up of the game and the new content

I would like to remind you that each faction adds hours of gameplay to be mastered.
So the simple addition of a new faction adds a lot of replayability to the basic game.

And above all you can play this faction even on a game hosted by someone who doesn't have it.
