Another tip - Activate Aegis Shield before engaging the enemy and starting combat, and you will have shield and full action points.

More tips.
Most of the time if you clear an entire patrol and there are no enemies active it will reset all your knight's action points and allow the abilities to come off cooldown
The Teleport Stratigem is great for this early game as you can teleport your entire team into close range on a pod of enemies kill them and move on without the warp surge rising.
Librarians get the ability to do this teleport trick too. My end game strat was to move my Librarian in activating the pod of enemies then teleport my entire team into melee, kill everything and rinse and repeat.
Oh and lastly for the last mission you won't have the use of your Stratigem's so adjust your game plan accordingly

Biggest thing Chaos Gate never tells you but can make the game soooo much easier:

Bosses have different critical hit points on different sides of their body. If you disable all the parts on one side: rotate to another.

Some guides advise upgrading engines first - always being able to reach a mission that rewards you with servitors may give you more than the passive income from augmentation chamber.

[Farrenheit]

With moving your guy you want to move the one at the back first before the guys in front that’s how stay head as a team

3 justicars and an interceptor is a pretty unstoppable squad best used for reaper boss fights.
Never let the morbus progress if in doubt just use exterminatus.
Librarians with gate of infinity keep the squad from getting bogged down in the gate mishs and help you redeploy to fight off the waves of reinforcements coming to stop you.
Dont let the inquisitor get wounded it will stop you from using strats for 40+ days meaning no free gate of infinity and no free +2 ap on alot of mishes.

all the playthrough video's I've watched so far make the game look easy. Is it really that hard?

[taimetso]

Is there a game that features a mechanic that records your game and after it ends, it replays it smoothly without decision making, paused game, etc???

the related game is wrong, is another "chaos gate", not this one from 1998
