Description
Establishes reinforced launch structures, booster staging, and safety procedures for large guided warheads and siege payloads.
Benefits
Reveals later technologies and strategic combinations.
Strategy notes
Heavy Ordnance Fundamentals gives a young empire its first dedicated Heavy Rockets research discipline. It opens the path to heavy missile and siege-ordnance projects without requiring investment in a different technology branch. Its immediate value is access to later Heavy Rockets technologies and strategic combinations. The principal counterpressure is that large-payload doctrine competes directly with lighter missiles and beam weapons for early research capacity.
Player hints
Research this foundation to begin the Heavy Rockets branch. Once it reaches its first breakthrough, early heavy-booster and rocket projects become available.
