Learn how the Guard command in Total Annihilation allows construction units to heal buildings, speed up unit production, and assist in new building construction.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To make a construction unit heal a building and potentially speed up its unit production, give the construction unit the order to guard that building. If the building is damaged, the construction unit will heal it. If the building can produce units, the construction unit will automatically assist, reducing the build time for that unit.
  2. 2
    To make a construction unit heal a unit, give the construction unit the order to guard that unit. The construction unit will automatically heal the guarded unit if it gets damaged.
  3. 3
    To speed up the construction of a new building, have one construction unit guard another construction unit that has begun building a new structure. The guarding construction unit will lend a hand, speeding up the construction process.
Tips
  • Using the Guard command on a production building can significantly decrease the time it takes to build new units.
  • Ensure your construction units are positioned to guard units or buildings that are actively taking damage to maximize their healing effectiveness.
  • Pairing construction units with the Guard command on new building sites is an efficient way to establish your base faster.
