What do guys think of how a Tau city would look like? Would castes live together (exception Air Caste)? Would they look like giant outposts? Or giant castles for the Eathraels?

that doesn't really help him out that much. it doesn't really show the layout for the city.

There's a gread panorama of a Tau city in the old Codex, unfortunately not in the new.
Domed, clean, etc,

Tau cities ae incrediblely clean, well planned, and pretty. They are also really efficent in their power use. Lots of transit trains around the city. They have pretty large buildings for all uses including massive battle domes where the Shas train but I suspect that these are only in major military cities and not smaller cities. Their sewage systems are very nice compared to the Imperium. Mostly their cities are just plain better than everything the Imperium can muster. Overall they are really nice, clean, and white.

Check the pics labeled environments.

IMO, Tau would be free to mingle between the castes (thier's no real reason to seperate them), but they'd probably stick to thier own, unless they had business with the other castes. After all, the Tau probably don't spend that much time mingiling with each other (Not unless is serves the greater good).

When every other farmer on the planet is an earth caste memeber, who you gonna call for some help/advice? Not the Shas' that's for sure.

the tau ( adapted from kill team) had specific areas for the different castes...not sure how reliable is the book though

Grogalmighty · 15 Feb 2007, 07:45

Clean, domed, and lots of use of their anti-gravity technology.

Imperial cities taken over by the Tau tend to be torn down and replaced by their 'neo utopia' design.

They also have huge battle domes with nothing supporting the roof

spacmarine2000 · 15 Feb 2007, 16:14

I'm just guessing here, but judging by the whole Tau way of thinking and a lot of their architectural design methods, I would think that a city would be planned very much like a 'wheel' as it were, with lots of 'spokes' moving outwards from some central building of importance; the battle dome maybe or some governemt building. This is just me speculating on the available material though, but Tau town planning is sure to be superior to anything the Imperium has.
