Guards

It is possible in the game that the habitat can be surrounded by the enemy. Because of high remoteness from the stronghold, auto bridges creation not always can save from the sudden enemy attacks. Solution to the situation is creation of the strong defensive garrison which will force the enemy to collect more habitats in the attack. As a result, time in a way of enemy army will increase. For AltaBot it is necessary time to prepare the defense and send troops in support.

AltaBot constantly controls the number of guard and if finds losses, sends new units for its completion.

To start work with guard, click the button Guard at a main window toolbar of the defense manager (Picture 1).
