Description
Civil Defense Compact integrates reserve forces, public health, shelters, and continuity planning. It is an optional synthesis between Bio-Social Dominion and Fortress and Combined Arms, not a gate on either capstone.

Strategy notes
Civil Defense Compact develops the PopulationControl discipline within Cross-Path Synthesis. This synthesis combines Bio-Social Dominion with Fortress and Combined Arms without replacing either core path. Its immediate value is -4% credit upkeep. 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 PopulationControl 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.
