|
| The '''factory''' is a deployable [[Covenant]] structure, typically as an extension on their [[Covenant citadel|occupation citadels]].{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Factory.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Factory|D=17|M=10|Y=2010|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Covenant#Factory}} | | The '''Factory''' is a [[Covenant]] structure featured in [[Halo Wars]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | The factory is where the player can build [[Ghost]]s, [[Chopper]]s, [[Wraith]]s and [[Locust]]s. All the land-based vehicle upgrades are researched in the Factory as well. |
| In addition to being a warehouse, the factory is also manufactures ground-based vehicles in the Covenants arsenal, including {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s, [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper]]s, [[Type-25 Wraith|Wraiths]] and {{Pattern|Shua'ee|Locust}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} It serves as a counterpart to the [[UNSC Vehicle Depot|vehicle depot]] and [[Banished Foundry|foundry]] employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Banished]], respectively.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==In-game information==
| | The Covenant are able to build the factory from the beginning of the game, without needing any upgrades on the [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]] first.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Factory.aspx</ref> It is not that important and should be built second last to the summit. Although it may look important a firm edge in technology and shield plus soldiers will give you the ability to defeat the opposing enemy easily. The vehicles built here are prone to an air attack. Like the Covenant Hall and Summit, it costs 150 [[resources]] and requires no tech level. |
