+TACTICAL BRIEFING

When to use it

Build it when your basic production is established and you are ready to open a new branch.

What to watch for

Needs HQ Development and catalyst for advanced unlocks. Research requires completed production branches; two identical factories count as one type.

+CONSTRUCTION & CONNECTIONS

What you need

No additional technology requirement. Build with a worker on visible, accessible ground.

How construction works

Workers stay beside the structure throughout assembly. Up to three workers add their full work rate; leaving pauses their contribution.

Foundations start at 10% health and gain health as work progresses. Damage is retained at completion. Buildings block both armies; destroying one opens the route immediately.
