Builds, repairs, assists and reclaims.

Choose a faction for its roster. UEF, Cybran and Aeon share the broad economy but differ in units and special tools.
Give engineers productive work. Engineers build, assist, repair and reclaim.
Use assistance within the budget. Extra builders can speed a project only when resources can meet the increased demand.
Keep expansion differences explicit. The Seraphim and many balance expectations come from Forged Alliance or community versions.
