Can a non-villager civilian unit be made to construct buildings like a merchant?
I’ve tried to make “engineers” and “architects” to build extra buildings, but the only thing I’ve been able to do is to have the fishing boat interface and from there build other buildings or make “packaged buildings” and from there build extra buildings, but I want to know if it’s possible if I can build buildings with other units that are not villagers or military?
Pretty sure it’s hard coded into those specifically. HOWEVER, with some creativity with editing graphic attributes, it could be possible. Modify a villagers graphics to other graphics and you can make it ‘seem/look like’ another unit.
edit: You might be able to via AGE by modifying a villager too but, never tried.
Give the unit Task 101, which is to build. From there you can pick whether you want the unit to build all buildings or a specific building. Copy/Paste this task for multiple buildings if you don’t want the unit to build everything.
I’ve already tried. The problem is that it only gives access to being able to construct a building through a military unit, with the fishing boat interface or with assembling a building.
If I assign a unit to task 101 I can only construct a single building, more than one cannot be constructed.
Does the Task 101 you added to your unit look like this? This image is exactly how Task 101 is set up for a Builder.
