COMMAND CENTER

Cost 40
Maintenance Varies
Prerequisite Doctrine: Mobility




    The first of the 3 military base facilities, the Command Center should be regarded as essential for any conquest-based strategy (which is not necessarily true for most facilities) and darned useful for peaceful, development-based strategies as well (since staying peaceful requires a strong defense).

    If possible, however, save yourself some serious minerals and production time, and build the Command Nexus secret project, which will give you a free Command Center as part of the infrastructure of every base. If you miss out on that project, put Command Centers on your short list of core facilites that go up in every base. Or at least start a concerted Command Center building program if you contemplate going on the offensive, or start to suspect one of the other factions who may be getting a bit pushy.
