Construction Soldier

Overview
The Construction Soldier is a unit that carries over from the original game, The Conquerors. It’s considered a Soldier support unit that's produced in the Barracks. Construction Soldiers are primarily used to build buildings away from already-existing buildings by creating a Construction Yard. Because of this ability, players start with one Construction Soldier in maps with water to assist in building a Naval Shipyard. Construction Soldiers can not deal damage and as such are recommended to be protected when attempting to create a Construction Yard.

Usage
A Construction Soldier can be used to place down a Construction Yard, a building that does nothing by itself, but counts as a building. This allows the construction of other buildings around it. Because of the Construction Soldier’s mobility, you could place a Construction Yard about anywhere: away from Power Crystals, existing buildings, and sand. Construction Soldiers are mostly used to build Naval Shipyard at the beginning of the game. Later on in the game, they are rarely seen, appearing when one wants to rebuild a Naval Shipyard or set up a base in an empty area. Some people use Construction Soldiers to get to very high terrain like mountains or cliffs, making bases there. It puts them at a height advantage, being in a place that can’t be reached even by Planes (excluding space units).
