Pontoons
Single-tier crossing infrastructure designed to open aquatic transit routes for ground forces. Pontoons 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
Pontoons are specialized transit connectors for aquatic barriers. The supplied page describes them as a way for ground forces to establish crossing routes without depending entirely on coastal harbor infrastructure.
Network rule: only one Pontoon can be constructed per province coordinate center.
Requirements Matrix
- Construction is limited to coastal provinces or sectors bounded by active rivers.
- For river crossings, the supplied page states that a matching Pontoon is typically required on the opposite riverbank.
- The structure must remain at or above 40% HP to function.
- Maximum structure level is Level 1.

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.
Below 40% HP — under 4 HP on the listed 10 HP structure — the Pontoon deactivates and can no longer process the crossing route.
Daily maintenance is listed at $25, allowing multiple crossing points to be maintained at comparatively low recurring cash cost.
Building Network
Riverbank Link Logic
For river transitions, your supplied data says the route typically needs a matching Pontoon on the opposite bank. That makes the structure a network connector rather than a stand-alone combat installation.
