The Excavator is a construction vehicle that is used to construct all buildings of the U.S. Army. It can also repair damaged allied buildings.[1]
The Excavator can be produced from headquarters. The Excavator can be immediately selected by pressing the "=" key or clicking on the "Zz" button whenever it is inactive.
Background
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, stick, bucket and cab on a rotating platform (known as the "house"). The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. A cable-operated excavator uses winches and steel ropes to accomplish the movements.
They are a natural progression from the steam shovels and often called power shovels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Due to the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of operation is fundamentally different from cable-operated excavators.
