I object to the term "worker" because I believe
that term already refers to the city's population
working the surrounding squares.

I object to the term "engineer" because I believe
that term already refers to the advanced version
of the unit that only becomes available when the
tech advance of engineering is acquired.

Since the unit under discussion is available
with zero tech advances I wanted a name that
sounds primitive, in keeping with a
non-technologically advanced society. I think
the term "digger" is;
- short
- descriptive
- implies low (actually zero) technology
