The Builder
Focus on infrastructure and long-term compound growth.
Strategy Overview
The Builder prioritizes constructing buildings early and often. Banks increase storage, Power Plants generate passive energy, Training Stations produce free bots, and Walls protect everything.
Recommended Setup
- 2–3 bots on build (Architects preferred)
- 3–4 bots on gather (to fund construction)
- 2–3 bots on expand (need claimed tiles to build on)
Best Agent Types
- Architect (+150% Build speed, +80% Stone) — Essential for this playstyle
- Catalyst (+40% Wood & Stone) — Building materials specialist
Build Order (Suggested)
- Bank — Storage is your first bottleneck.
- Training Station — Start generating free bots ASAP (12h per bot).
- Power Plant — Passive energy income.
- Bank #2 — More storage for growing operations.
- Walls (x5) — Basic defense (+25%).
- Weapons Center — Missile deterrent.
- More Walls — Up to 10 for max +50% defense.
Tips
- Expand territory first — you need claimed tiles to place buildings.
- Architects are 2.5x faster at building than other types.
- Training Stations are compound growth — each trained bot can gather more resources for more buildings.
