  • Gathering/Building

    • In Defensive mode, workers will work on whatever is nearest them, and not stop working even if attacked.
    • In Offensive mode, workers will prefer attacking and repairing buildings over working.
    • If you have workers selected(you start with 2), you'll see two icons on the right side. Drag the House(H) icon to the left and onto the field to build a house, same for the Barracks(B).
    • Houses cost 125 wood and 125 gold, Barracks cost 75 of each, and towers cost 25 of each.
    • Houses produce more workers, select a house and touch the W icon to make one.
