The humble builder. With enough hands, a legion could build up camp under enemy attack in as little as a few seconds.

The builder is the backbone of any army. His primary task is to build the infrastructure necessary to protect and provide mobility to the army. He is able to build ladders, towers, drawbridges, spikes, catapults, outposts and workshops. The builder goes into the battlefield with 10 wood items and he can mine different types of materials.

• [Left click] - Build blocks/constructions
• [Right click] - Cut down trees, mine resources, fight with the pick. To repair damaged structures, left click on the structure using the matching icon. Repairing costs half of the usual cost of materials for that structure.
• [F] - Hold to bring up menu with blocks/constructions to build

Gameplay tips:

• It's cheaper to destroy and replace damaged doors and stone rather than repairing them.

• Reinforce stone structures with background walls to prevent collapsing.

• You can convert damaged enemy doors by simply repairing them.

• Builders are very effective saboteurs. They can quickly destroy defenses like doors or destroy catapults.

• A builder's attack does little damage to a knight. However, landing on one from a greater height will do more damage.

• If you find a good gold vein, make sure you alert the rest of your team by using Emotes ([7]-key).

• Similarly, make sure to look for the alerts of your teammates so you know where to find that sweet gold.

• During the mid to late stages of the game, it's best to have at least one builder mining for gold at all times. (Except for CTF-mode)

• When you make a spike trap, reinforce the walls and bottom of the trap with stone. Knights and Archers can't destroy spikes or stone block leaving them completely trapped.

• Use drawbridges to make one-way ladders for your team.

• Spikes are not the only trap you can make. Put a background tile followed by one or two stone blocks in front of a defense tower. When the enemy starts trying to climb, remove the background tile and watch them die under the falling stone!
