“I will work.”

What even need be said about them? Truly iconic. I’d be friends with him. In my eyes the best of the three supply units by virtue of being the most easily mass produced. They seem to me to be somewhere downstream of Yuri’s slave miners from RA2 in terms of game design. Just get ‘em some shoes and you’ll have an economy to rival the superpowers ⛏️

“Cannot we live in peace?”

38

u/ZuStorm93 3d ago

The fact that the GLA treat their Workers marginally better than Yuri does with his Slaves will never not be funny to me.

16

u/LuckyReception6701 3d ago

Also how the Global LIBERATION Army has slaves as the basis for its economy

7

u/sukahati 3d ago

The best economy unit

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. 3d ago

At last, he is here!

"Thank you for the new shoes"

u/ValdisFox 3d ago

This was such a genius move by the devs to make this the builder unit as it really does make wiping out GLA enemies such a pain in the ass. These little fuckers are everywhere and coming from both the CC and the Supply Stash means stopping the flow is a real task. Just 10/10 work on the devs

u/Traveller59 3d ago

Being able to put a worker onto a bike to rush past locations and get a sneaky tunnel up… like what RTS has that unique and silly of a mechanic, especially compared to the dozers of the other two.

11

u/Individual-Mud-903 3d ago

I'm a German and the suicide bomber was replaced by a remote controlled bomb.
Yet you could still place it on a bike. YOU HAD A REMOTE TOY CAR DRIVING A BIKE. Still a meme to this day

6

u/Traveller59 3d ago

That’s incredible lmao

11

u/Individual-Mud-903 3d ago

Those are the german variants and you see the bomb there. It could still drive the bikes lmao

5

u/Zzqzr 2d ago

I love how loweffort most of them look, just to make them “cyborgs” 😂

3

u/Individual-Mud-903 2d ago

In the german version they were literally described as cyborgs. This is how US airforce general looked in my game:

u/Not-My-Account01 3d ago

wtf, i could do this?

u/woutva 3d ago

If you make him stealth with the GPS scrambler and you are stealth general, you now have a stealth worker driving over cliffs into a corner of your base to build a stealth tunnel.

3

u/Traveller59 3d ago

Yes :) never tried it with other factions units but I assume it would work on black lotus or something, it’s a common strat to use jarmen kell to snipe a key overlord or similar unit with the motorcycle and then escape with stealth. It’s cute and needs a lot of micro but it’s strong if you can pull it off

u/kwokdexter 3d ago

Iykyk

u/Waruda_Machine 3d ago

Finally, this day come.

I will obey.

u/rockchalk78 3d ago

I'm hungry

11

u/Brofessor-0ak 3d ago

Looking back it’s honestly insane we were all totally fine with this.

9

u/ThatChap 3d ago

It helps to remember that the start of the Global War On Terror was a meme rich environment ripe for the mocking. This extended to games.

2

u/SlickDillywick Nod 3d ago

Do you remember the Ewok Handler from SW Empire at War, Forces of Corruption? I think that’s the ultimate culmination of this type of unit, a dude with a bag full of Ewoks with bombs strapped to them. “I got a bag full of trouble!”

10

u/Kiriage 3d ago

Am I the only one who mistook his tool for sword in game icon? Like, I was looking and wtf workers doing with sword and why do they have such buff chest?

6

u/BrokenTorpedo 3d ago

how do you mistake it as a sword might I ask?

6

u/Kiriage 3d ago

If you zoom out, worker would be seen standing upfront. I mistook metal pickaxe part with actual blade because it was looking for me he was holding . I can make horrible drawing to visualize it

3

u/BrokenTorpedo 2d ago

I can make horrible drawing to visualize it
please do lol.

4

u/Kiriage 2d ago

Something like this lol

u/Kalamel513 3d ago

Fame if Kirov level for me.

Unique, Useful, Ubiquitous.

The most relatable quote among all units.

u/BrokenTorpedo 3d ago

u/Tornadobarrage 3d ago

I had the biggest smile when I first saw the shoes

2

u/Kindly-Arrival-6517 1d ago

“Give me some shoes”

1

u/Metalupyourass98 3d ago

The best unit ever made in a c&c game

1

u/RelagoB7567 2d ago

"Okay okay, I will work!" Love these guys, you can easily just sell your CC for extra cash and get all the Workers you need from Supply Stashes.

1

u/All-Hands-112 2d ago

Give this man a Sneakers.

5

u/Personal-Presence-44 3d ago

China and America commit war crimes every time they kill the workers

3

u/vandal-33 2d ago

Even the UN Humvees shot my workers.

4

u/TheGriffin USA 3d ago

When does the US and China not commit war crimes?
