"Advanced" buildings

I am trying to compress a problem in my map, simply TOO MANY WORKERS. There are too many buildings for one peasant to build so i made two peasants, a residential, and a military. Can I make it so one peasant can have two build orders, a Residential Build, and a Military Build. Kind of like in Age of Empires. If this is possible i would appreciate ANY help.

One way to do this that was discussed was to have a spelll book ability full of "Build tiny farm" abilities. Unfortunately if you use that the buildings will be summoned, not constructued by the worker.

I would suggest that you give the worker the ability to build basic structures that upgrade into advanced structures, far easier that way.

Yes, in a matter of sorts. You could make a Spellbook ability with "Build Tiny" abilities.

Well for the map im building it is not as much of an advanced building more of a residential or a military building, so a house upgrading into a barracks doesnt make much sense. Oh well. Also the Build tiny Farm Means it would cost mana not Gold or Lumber, and triggers would get involved (nasty little buggers). Oh well maybe ill figure out a way eventually, but untill then any other idears would be greatly appreciated!

No, the Build Tiny abilities require resources.

For the upgrade solution, have both basic residential and basic military buildings be buildable. So a House will upgrade into an Inn, and a barracks will upgrade into a factory.

You could have a "basic" building or two for each type.

• Residential plot
• Miltary Plot
• etc

Have those upgrade into the final structures. Or you could do it the above way.

you could also have seperate builders

or base the residental building off of the spell book, because there use will become obselete in later times... or make build times extended to compensate.

with spell book based building, there is no triggers involved...

You can make a copy of bear form that transforms te Residential Builder to a Military Builder and name it swap to millitary buldings or something like that!

IF you are looking for advanced building, GO to http://www.wc3sear.ch click on spells, look up Author Armel He has advanced building map. Yes some trigger r invloved, But hey It works! Also You might look up a search here in Wc3c cuz there is alot of thread about advanced building. I made one myself.
