This is one form of a defensive strategy against deep-striking units such as Space Marine Dreadnoughts and Necron Flayed Ones. This also allows for another production queue, cutting the total research time for all of the upgrades available in the Path to Enlightenment. This leads to some players building multiple Paths to Enlightenment when resources are available, around their base or in an ally's base. The Path to Enlightenment will also allow you to build either a Mont'ka Command Post or a Kauyon Command Post.Īs the Path to Enlightenment is the building necessary to elevate Tau to Tier 2, if this building is lost some units will not be able to be built.

The main Tau research structure, the Path to Enlightenment serves a number of important roles.
