Sorry guys, Worker Project progress has been delayed temporarily. Don't despair.

Questions and Answers (FAQs)

• What is this project?
  The Worker Project is an E2 that can make buildings which generate resources. These resources can then be used to produce additional buildings.

• What buildings can it make?
  The worker can build:

  • Factories: generate resources (more on that later)
  • Barracks: spawn warriors
  • Towers: shoot at incoming enemies with E2 bullets

• What are resources?
  Resources represent the amount of money you have. You start with 500 when spawning the E2.

  • Factories cost 200
  • Barracks cost 350
  • Towers cost 300

• How does it work?
  The contraption is divided into three chips:

  1. Controls the hologram of the Worker, which you move and use to build things
  2. Provides a user interface to control the worker and give him orders
  3. Contains the worker's coding and resource counter

• Can I spawn more than one at a time, like make wars?
  Not yet, but this will be possible in future, more fully developed versions.

• I don't want to have to get resources. Is there a version that doesn't require them?
  Yes, a version without resource requirements will be available.

• When will this be available?
  We currently need a sponsor to help with coding. If you want to be a sponsor, contact me via Steam or the forums.

• How did you come up with this idea?
  I was inspired by Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2 and its expansion pack.

• Who is developing this?
  Myself, anyone who wishes to contribute, and a friend of mine, Captain Bonkers II, who initially got the idea.
