[IDEA] Worker Overhaul

[Hydromancerx]

Here are a few ideas I have involving workers ...

Worker Upgrade
- Melee, Archer and Gunpowder Units can upgrade/downgrade into a worker.
- Workers could upgrade/downgrade into a warrior (since you would be able to upgrade from that into anything).

Beasts of Burden
- Elephants already can already build roads and forts (unless this was taken out)
- Horses (and camels) could build farms and mines (maybe even roads).

- Elephants already can already build roads and forts (unless this was taken out)
- Horses (and camels) could build farms and mines (maybe even roads).

Taken out because units that can attack and work break BtS with CTDs. I suppose we could have a work-horse/camel/elephant which is just another worker type.

That would be a good addition for Road building using draft animals. There are cattle in the game but Oxen would be a resource similar to Elephant for road building.

Maybe Oxen could be used to upgrade Farms? If you have the Oxen resource then farms would give a +1 food and/or a +1 hammer/gold

But you all have probably already discussed this.
