## Overview

The **Immigrant Worker** is an economic unit in *Wars of Liberty* that is trained by the Latin American civilizations through their respective Immigrant Colony they allied with. Immigrant Workers supplementary units that can help bolster their parent and immigrant civilizations' economy thanks to them having their own bonuses that can help with gathering of specific resources. However, they gather other resources 50% slower than standard villagers (with the exception of the French Immigrant Workers). They can also help performing key tasks such as resource gathering and building construction. Initially, they are limited to three units when the player first chooses an Immigrant Nation to age up, but this limit can be increased when the player opts to age up with the same Immigrant Nation (each subsequent Age-up with the same Immigrant Nation boosts the build limit of Immigrant Workers by +3).

Some Age-Up options grant Immigrant Workers when aging up. The French Immigrants gives four to six Immigrant Workers for aging up with them into the Capital Age; The Chinese Immigrants gives six Immigrant Workers for continuously aging up with them into the Industrial Age; The Italian Immigrants gives two to four Immigrant Workers along with their unique Italian House wagons when the player first choose to age-up with them.

## Tactics

Immigrant Workers can be assigned with the following tasks:

* Immigrant Workers can build most of the buildings given the player has the right amount of resources and is at the right Age, and there are enough spaces for the building. Unlike standard villager units, Immigrant Workers can only build their respective Immigrant Houses.
* Immigrant Workers can gather food from Berries, Cherry Orchards, and huntable animals. Immigrant Workers may also be tasked to a Mill, Hacienda, Farm or Rice Paddy which will generate infinite Food, but at a slower rate. Alternatively, food can also be gathered from livestock.
* Immigrant Workers can gather wood from trees which usually can be found plenty and rarely runs out. Alternatively, they can gather from Mango Groves.
* Immigrant Workers can gather coin from Mines and tasking Immigrant Workers to work on a Plantation or Rice Paddy will generate Coin.
* Immigrant Workers can gather Faith from the Temple after a Religion is chosen.
* When resource shipments arrive from the Home City, they do so in the form of Crates of Food, Cords of Wood, Chests of Coin, Crates of Experience, and Religious Books (Faith) at the assigned shipment arrival point, which usually is the first Town Center, but can be changed to certain other units and buildings. They must be unpacked by a gatherer in order to add them to the player's resources.
* Immigrant Workers can only be tasked to garrison at their Immigrant Colony during raids which will also activate its ranged attack.
* Similar to Explorer units, Immigrant Workers may also collect Treasures.

## Immigrant Differences

* The Arab Immigrant Worker can automatically trickle resources at the rate of 0.28 Food/0.16 Wood/0.2 Coin per second.
* The Chinese Immigrant Worker gathers resources from natural sources (Huntables, Trees, Mines, and Plants) 100% faster but gathers resources slower in economic buildings (including Livestock).
* The Confederate Immigrant Worker slows the gather rate of enemy villagers by 20% with a range of 50 tiles.
* The Croatian Immigrant Worker gathers 50% faster near Docks.
* The French Immigrant Worker is tougher than other Immigrant Workers and possesses 50% ranged resistance. They also do not suffer from the 50% gather rate reduction (they gather all resources at the same rate as standard villager units).
* The German Immigrant Worker builds buildings much faster than other Immigrant Workers.
* The Irish Immigrant Worker gathers Faith 100% faster than other villager units.
* The Italian Immigrant Worker gathers resources from Haciendas, Plantations, and Italian Houses 100% faster than other villager units.
* The Japanese Immigrant Worker gathers resources from Berries and Plants 100% faster but cannot hunt or gather Food from Livestock.
* The Polish Immigrant Worker arrives with a free Cow when trained.
* The Scandinavian Immigrant Worker deals 6x bonus damage at range against Treasure Guardians and gains more rewards from Treasures.
