Description
Fortress Megayards places strategic construction behind layered system defenses. It is an optional synthesis between Industrial Megastructure Empire and Fortress and Combined Arms, not a gate on either capstone.
Benefits
Construction output Empire-wide+4%
Strategy notes
Fortress Megayards develops the Production discipline within Cross-Path Synthesis. This synthesis combines Industrial Megastructure Empire with Fortress and Combined Arms without replacing either core path. Its immediate value is +4% construction throughput. The principal counterpressure is that cross-path investment delays a focused capstone and exposes two different resource dependencies.
Player hints
This is a specialization milestone. Reaching it reveals stronger combinations, but broad tier-three investment will slow every capstone. Favor this technology when its Production benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
