Description
Bastion Colony Web designs frontier growth around defensible hubs and protected evacuation capacity. It is an optional synthesis between Expansion and Terraforming and Fortress and Combined Arms, not a gate on either capstone.
Benefits
Housing capacity Empire-wide+4%
Strategy notes
Bastion Colony Web develops the PopulationGrowth discipline within Cross-Path Synthesis. This synthesis combines Expansion and Terraforming with Fortress and Combined Arms without replacing either core path. Its immediate value is +4% housing capacity. 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 PopulationGrowth 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.
