This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.
Workers are blood elf units that construct buildings, mine gold, and harvest lumber. They appear in the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Alliance campaign, "Curse of the Blood Elves". They are produced at the high elf town hall, high elf keep and high elf castle.
They are extremely similar to human peasants, but with a different appearance voice. They can build the same buildings as human peasants, except they cannot build the Workshop, and the buildings they can build can only train blood elves and can only research upgrades for blood elves.
They have their own unique voice, unlike the high elven peasants that appear in Reign of Chaos (who share their voice with human Peasants).

Return Resources
- Return the carried resources to the nearest town hall.
Build Structure
- Brings up a list of the available buildings that you may choose to construct.
Workers can build the same buildings as Peasants, except they cannot build the Workshop. Additionally, the buildings they can build can only train elves and research upgrades for elven units.
- Town Hall (trains Workers and lacks Call to Arms)
- Barracks (trains Swordsmen and Archers, and contains upgrades for those units)
- Blacksmith (Black Gunpowder is replaced by Steel Arrowheads)
- Scout Tower
- Farm
- Altar of Kings
- Arcane Sanctum
- Lumber Mill
- Gryphon Aviary (can only train Dragonhawk Riders)
- Arcane Vault
Workers build from the outside, so it is possible to pause construction by moving the peasant away. Additionally, multiple Workers can collaborate to build the same building (known as powerbuilding), decreasing the build time but costing additional resources.
| Range | Powerbuild Cost | Powerbuild Time | Allowed Targets |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 15% of Build cost | 60% of Build time | Structure, Player Units |
Notes
- In Reforged, they are named Engineers.
