----- Builds bases, towers, and walls -----
Point Value: 1
Notes:
Engineers are the only units that can build new bases, towers, and walls. As such, they are indispensable to any empire. An empire that neglects its engineers is likely to find that a rival will quickly grow larger and conquer it. On the other hand, an empire that focuses entirely on engineering and neglects its military could be brought to ruin by a single battledroid!
