One of the disappointments of CIV III is the lack of the Engineer unit that was introduced in Civ II. Kal-el and tstowe have challenged me to make this unit.
The settler and worker unit will be upgradable to the Engineer after a certain technology (not yet decided). That technology will double the work rate so that the engineer will work twice as fast as the regular workers. The engineer will have the ability to do all worker jobs (except colonize) and be able to build cities.
This is a modern unit that represents engineers of several kinds - civil (roads, rr) , environmental (forests,jungles, and structural (mines), and land developers (city) )
The engineer is still under construction (no pun intended)
but here is a preview:
