Nasby >What's wrong with calling them engineers? nick I object to the term "worker" because I believe that term already refers to the city's population working the surrounding squares. I object to the term "engineer" because I believe that term already refers to the advanced version of the unit that only becomes available when the tech advance of engineering is acquired. Since the unit under discussion is available with zero tech advances I wanted a name that sounds primitive, in keeping with a non-technologically advanced society. I think the term "digger" is; - short - descriptive - implies low (actually zero) technology ************************************************************ Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, Queensland Transport or Maritime Safety Queensland, or endorsed organisations utilising the same infrastructure.
