Explorers

The explorers are simple. You're their overlord, they do your bidding!

You will indicate things that need to be done, and the workers will accomplish that. They don't always do it right away, and the same task won't always take the same time to complete.

Types of Settlers

The way it works is that the work is assigned to a queue. Each type of work requiring 'specialty' jobs gets it's own queue. When a worker of some sort becomes available, he/she will look at the next task in the queue an' work on accomplishing it.

Pros:

Work gets assigned in order of when it's given.

Work will get done.

Cons:

Workers might have to dash across the map sometimes, even if there is a closer worker.

--Maybe can be solved using some sort of "If the work is too far away, I don't see it as being needed to be done"
