During most missions, you will construct, upgrade and protect various buildings. Buildings produce robots and heroes, help with your defense, and allow you to upgrade.

The HQ is your largest building and your base of operations. Builders are produced at the HQ, and they bring resources here for processing (until a Resource Bank is constructed). Losing your HQ to an enemy means you’ve failed the mission... and left the mindless builders standing there with only scraps in their hands.

Building a Robot Factory allows you to produce basic soldiers and medics – mindless fodder, err... the heart of a successful battle. After a Workshop is built, the factory can be upgraded.
