The Experimental Warpshop is an Allied structure that is needed to field the Chrono Legionnaire and the Hummingbird. It also provides the use of chrono-based support powers.
Official description
The Experimental Warpshop allows the Allies to construct additional weapons which heavily rely on the advancements in chrono research, like the Chrono Legion, the Hummingbird or the Warpnode. There are several structures in the Allied tech tree with which the Warpshop will 'cooperate' to provide access to special support powers which might just give the Allied commanders an edge over their opponents.[1]
Overview
Besides granting access to the most advanced Allied units at the commander's disposal, the Experimental Warpshop also provides the following support powers with chrono technology in mind:
Support power | Description |
---|---|
Type: Reinforcement Power Cost: $1600 Recharge Time: 7:30 Requires Ore Purifier Deploys an Ultra Miner anywhere on the battlefield | |
Type: Utility Power Cost: $800 Recharge Time: 5:00 Requires Tech Center Restores hit points of friendly units and buildings in a targeted area for 5 instances | |
Type: Utility Power Recharge Time: 1:00 Requires Chronosphere Teleports friendly structures around the Experimental Warpshop or a Warpnode | |
Type: Offensive Power Cost: $1000 Recharge Time: 6:30 Requires Air Force Command Headquarters Unique to ![]() Creates a temporary portal around the Experimental Warpshop or a Warpnode that warps in Kingsnake jet fighters which patrols the vicinity | |
Type: Reinforcement Power Cost: $2600 Recharge Time: 7:30 Requires Allied War Factory Unique to ![]() Deploy two Paladin Tank Hunters at the Experimental Warpshop |
Appearances
In Act Two non-Allied missions, Experimental Warpshop is unavailable to build if player captures an enemy Allied base.
Act Two
- The Experimental Warpshop is first buildable in Relentless after the player gains control over a Construction Yard. In this mission, it only unlocks the Hummingbird and Backwarp, which have been previously introduced in Stone Cold Crazy and Bottleneck, as well as Ultra Miner.
- In Insomnia, the Experimental Warpshop becomes almost fully functional and all of its support powers are available (except Paladin Aid). In addition, since this mission, the Warpshop can provide access to Chronolift by itself without the need of a Chronosphere, which is unbuildable.
- In the first phase of Reality Check, the Allies built four Experimental Warpshops in the ex-Epsilon base. They will constantly deploy Kingsnakes around the Warpshops, only destroy them can cease corresponding Kingsnake defense.
Origins
- Due to the Allies lost large amount of tech after failing the Antarctic battle, Experimental Warpshop, along with all of units and support powers it provides, has been locked in The Remnant.
