Kroot Shaping Center

This building is required if you wish to requisition the many Kroot infantry units, including Kroot Shapers, Kroot Hound Packs, Krootox, and the Greater Knarloc.

Note: In Dark Crusade the Kroot Shaping Center has a return value of 14 0  .

Tactics

For players who prefer the Path of Mont'Ka, it is unlikely that the Kroot Shaping Center will be built until Tier 4. The Kroot Shaper is only useful for Kroot Carnivores, who are optional for Tau players, and Kroot Hound Packs which are unavailable to the Mont'Ka player. Krootox are likewise unavailable, which just leaves the Greater Knarloc.

Even for Path of Kauyon players, the upgrades available from the Path to Enlightenment can make Kroot Hound Packs unnecessary, which again leaves the Kroot Shaping Center unbuilt until Tier 4. However, Kroot Shapers are extremely good with Kroot Carnivores, especially since you will be needing something other than the Tau Commander's Snare Trap to hold off the enemy in Tier 2.
