PONTOONS

Single-tier transit infrastructure for aquatic barriers. Pontoons establish crossing routes for ground forces, reduce the supplied embarkation / airlift duration by 5%, require at least 40% structural health to function, and are limited to one structure per province coordinate.

Crossing Connector
Aquatic Transit
Pontoons are described as specialized transit connectors for aquatic barriers that establish crossing routes for ground forces.
Harbor Independence
The supplied blueprint positions them as a way to cross without depending entirely on coastal harbor infrastructure.
Network Rule
Only one Pontoon can be constructed per province coordinate center.

Crossing Conditions

01
Coastal Province
Construction is supported in coastal provinces.
02
Active River Sector
The source also permits sectors bounded by active rivers.
03
Opposite Riverbank
For river crossings, a matching Pontoon is typically required on the opposite riverbank.
04
40% HP Threshold
The structure must remain at or above 40% HP to function.

Matching Pontoon
The supplied page states that a matching Pontoon is typically required on the opposite bank for river transitions.
[ STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE ]

Pontoon Operations

Flanking Utility
The supplied notes position Pontoons as a way for heavy ground formations to bypass defended coastal-city or harbor routes and use less-protected crossing points.
40% HP Threshold
Below 40% HP — under 4 HP on the listed 10 HP structure — the Pontoon deactivates and can no longer process the crossing route.
Maintenance Footprint
Daily maintenance is listed at $25, which the supplied notes characterize as a comparatively low recurring cash cost for maintaining crossing points.
Interface Note // No Level Selector
Pontoons have only one source-supported configuration: Level 1 [MAX LEVEL]. No additional upgrade levels are supplied, so this dossier intentionally uses a fixed active profile rather than an interactive level selector.
Operational Threshold // Minimum 40% HP
The structure must remain at or above 40% structural health to function. The supplied strategic notes further state that below that threshold the Pontoon deactivates and can no longer process its crossing route.
Data Separation // Crossing Bonus ≠ Combat Modifier
The source supplies a -5% Embarkation / Airlift Duration effect. It does not provide an attack, defense, movement-speed, damage-reduction or unit-stat modifier for Pontoons, so none are inferred or added here.
