[BUILDING_DOSSIER // C03] // PROVINCIAL FORTIFICATION NETWORK

Combat Outpost

Single-tier crossing infrastructure designed to open aquatic transit routes for ground forces. Combat Outpost reduce embarkation and airlift duration by 5%, require at least 40% structural health to function, and are limited to one structure per province coordinate.

Tactical Blueprint

The Combat Outpost is a rapidly deployable defensive fortification for non-city provinces. Its core function is to reduce incoming enemy damage for friendly ground forces stationed on the province coordinate center.

Important: the supplied dossier says the Outpost does not defend a province by itself. Friendly ground units must be present, and the structure is completely destroyed if the province is captured.

Requirements Matrix

  • Construction is restricted to non-city province sectors.
  • Level 1 unlocks Coastal Battery, Radar Station and Air Defense Platform.
  • The Outpost protects other local buildings up to its own structure level.
  • Provides no terrain or movement-speed modifier.

Inverse Additive Model

The supplied dossier describes fortification and entrenchment interaction as inversely additive rather than simply adding the two displayed percentages together.

Infrastructure Shield

The Outpost is described as absorbing bombardment before protected local structures, sheltering assets such as Radar Stations and Air Defense Platforms up to the Outpost’s level.

Stationary Fortress

Unlike Military Logistics, the Combat Outpost provides no movement-speed bonus. Its role is strictly defensive and tied to the province coordinate.

Why This Building Matters

Combat Outpost progression is unusually powerful defensively: base damage reduction rises from -33% to -65%, while HP, morale and protection level also increase. Combined with the supplied -25% entrenchment example, the maximum listed mitigation reaches -69%.
