Defense Class
Note. The "Requirements" are listed as "build time, cost, tier", where the cost is measured in Command Points (CP) for units and Power (Po) for structures. The build time for units (but not for structures) is reduced by 75 % while the Crawler is inside a Deployment Zone. Structures are only functional while a Defense Crawler is deployed; otherwise existing structures will be offline and their upgrades locked.
Crawler-purchased upgrades have square icons, unit and structure abilities and structure upgrade options icons with a clipped corner.
