Cyber Warfare Center (Cyber_Warfare_Center)

A discreet office space staffed by hackers and intelligence operatives with the provisions necessary to conduct anonymous cyber attacks against foreign entities. Cyber Attacks will not trigger war and cannot be traced back to the attacker unless it's possible to deduce who was responsible by other means. This can be useful for subtly weakening your opponent's GDP output without being immediately culpable.
Different targets are affected by cyber attacks in different ways:
When used against an enemy city, it temporarily nullifies the espionage capabilites of that city and also reduces its science and espionage GDP outputs.
When uses against an espionage or research center, it temporarily nullifies the bonuses provided by the building.
When used against an enemy cyber warfare center, it prevents it from executing an attack of its own.
+ Can be used to cripple enemy espionage.
+ Can be used to harm enemy GDP outputs.
+ Does not reveal itself when attacking.
+ Can be built in numbers for greater effect.
- No direct offensive capabilities.
- Very vulnerable if discovered.
- Not dramatic or exciting.

Army Division (Army Division) (Army_Division)

An army division consists of several different regiments with different roles, which are capable of performing combined arms tactics when working together. An army division has the logistical support to function independently, and is large enough to occupy cities.
Armies can travel over land and destroy any enemy units they come across. They can also move into enemy cities and occupy them, denying the enemy access to their economic output. Capturing cities also allows you to annex enemy territory. Sending an army to an army base will load it onto a transport plane so it can be deployed by air. Armies can also board landing ships and deploy by sea.
A historically commonplace yet reprehensible use for armies is to deliberately target civilians and destroy cities. Commanding an army to attack a city (rather than just moving to it) will cause the army to start razing the city to the ground.
+ Can occupy enemy cities.
+ Hard to destroy.
+ Can slowly raze cities.
- Instantly visible when in enemy territory.
- Very slow.
- Only effective against ground assets.
- May turn you into a war criminal.

Carrier (Carrier)

An aircraft carrier (or just carrier) is a large warship designed to carry combat aircraft and helicopters. Carriers have built-in runways and facilities to house and launch aircraft, and are crucial to providing air support for naval and marine operations. Because of their immense size, prestige and tactical and strategic importance, carriers have often been designated as the flagships for naval operations in the post-WWII environment. Carriers provide the ability to project air power anywhere in the world without relying on local facilities, and dramatically amplify the force projection capabilities of their fleets.
+ Can carry multirole aircraft.
+ Can carry naval and special ops helicopters.
+ Can store lightweight nuclear bombs.

Cruiser (Cruiser)

A cruiser is a large, very heavily armed surface warship. After battleships became obsolete and aircraft carriers became the new standard for capital ships, cruisers were left as the next heaviest surface combatants and also the most capable that didn't rely on air power. The exact role and design of a cruiser varies from navy to navy, but cruisers generally carry large numbers of cruise missiles and heavy guns, giving them extensive anti-surface and land attack capabilities, making them very capable at defeating other warships and destroying ground targets further inland with massive saturation attacks.
+ Powerful cruise missile armament.
+ Very effective against enemy ships.
+ Good at attacking land targets.
+ Can carry nuclear cruise missiles.
+ Has some anti-missile capabilities.
- Vulnerable to submarines.
- Expensive.

Destroyer (Destroyer)

Although the exact terminology varies by navy, a destroyer is a large, fast and maneuverable surface warship designed to destroy other surface combatants. As naval warfare has evolved, the roles of a destroyer have changed to include air defence, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and missile defence. Regardless of how it is defined, destroyers are often used on autonomous patrols or as escorts to defend and support larger warships, like carriers and cruisers.
+ Fast for a warship.
+ Heightened anti-submarine capability.
+ Good anti-air/anti-missile capabilities.
- Limited firepower against enemy ships.
- No nuclear weapon options.

Attack Submarine (Submarine) (Submarine)

A relatively small and fast submarine designed for anti-shipping missions. Attack submarines excel at destroying enemy ships and other submarines, are difficult to detect, and can more easily track enemy naval vessels from a distance without being noticed. They can also carry elite commandos and covertly deploy them overseas. However, they are also very expensive, and only have limited land attack capabilities, limiting their effectiveness outside of hunting enemy ships.
+ Can only be detected by sonar when submerged.
+ Very effective against enemy ships.
+ Good at finding enemy submarines.
+ Can deploy spec-ops teams.
+ Can carry nuclear anti-ship torpedoes.
- Limited use outside of anti-shipping.

SSGN (SSGN) (SSGN)

Cruise missile submarines are larger than regular attack submarines and comparable to ballistic missile submarines. However, SSGNs, unlike SSBNs, do not carry long-range ballistic missiles. Instead, they are armed with an extensive arsenal of conventional cruise missiles, with the option to carry tactical nuclear weapons as well. This allows them to easily surface and destroy distant surface ships and inland military targets. However, they are not as capable of fighting other submarines as attack submarines, and they lack the firepower to destroy cities.
+ Powerful cruise missile armament.
+ Carries tactical nuclear weapons.
+ Can submerge for stealth and surprise attacks.
- Must surface to fire missiles, exposing itself.
- Limited underwater firepower.

SSBN (SSBN) (SSBN)

A nuclear-powered submarine armed with ballistic missiles. SSBNs are very concealable and can only be located by sonar, unless they surface or start firing. Their ability to keep moving makes them more survivable, allows them to attack from unexpected locations and gives them strategic flexibility. However, they are extremely expensive, not very fast and can be difficult to rearm if they are far away from friendly territory after attacking. They are very effective for surprise attacks or as a second-strike weapon.
+ Very concealable and easy to hide.
+ Mobility allows for strategic flexibility.
+ Good weapon range and payload.
- Extremely expensive.
- Can be difficult to rearm.
- Vulnerable if located.

How to get it: Basic SSBN (SSBN) — technology U_SSBN.

Air Transport (Air_Transport)

Transport planes can be used to carry armies long distances by air and then deploy them on the ground. Moving an army to an army base that has transport planes will load that army onto a plane. The plane can then take off and drop the army on the ground anywhere within range.
+ Fastest way to transport armies.
+ Can also carry combat engineers.
- Vulnerable to anti-air weapons.
- Cannot transport all unit types.

Fighters are relatively light fixed-wing aircraft designed and equipped for air-to-air combat. The small profile and flight characteristics of fighters make them excellent at destroying other planes while avoiding being shot down themselves. Although most fighters are capable of using air-to-ground weapons in some capacity, certain especially high-performing fighters are relegated almost exclusively to securing air superiority.
+ Excellent at destroying enemy aircraft.
+ More flexible than ground-based AA.
+ Fast response times.

Multirole Attacker (Attack)

Multirole aircraft are fighters that are capable of air-to-air combat but also perform well in a ground-attack capacity. Although multirole aircraft equipped for strike missions aren't as capable in an air-to-air role as designated air superiority fighters, they are capable of destroying surface targets and can defend themselves if confronted by enemy aircraft.
+ Capable in an air-to-air role.
+ Can destroy ground targets.
+ Very responsive, good for support.
+ Can carry nuclear weapons.
- Comparatively limited firepower.

Active Missile Interference (ECM_Bonus_2)

The introduction of more advanced missiles designed to defeat earlier electronic countermeasures like simple chaff and flares necessitated even better protection systems. Using active targeted radar and infrared emitters, it's possible to actively manipulate and confuse the guidance system of an enemy homing missile and mislead it into missing its target. Sudden randomized pulses of energy are sent out and received by the enemy weapon's seeker head, giving it conflicting information about the location and vector of its target which disorients it and may cause it to miss. Enemy missiles that are directly guided by their launcher can also be actively jammed, and if they are unable to receive commands and correct their course, they are very unlikely to hit their mark. Although chaff and flares are still useful, directly and actively attempting to interfere with the guidance system of a weapon is even more likely to fool it and foil an attack.
Passively reduces the accuracy and damage done by enemy AShMs, SAMs and AAMs.

Advanced CBRN Equipment (CBRN_Defence_4)

Throughout its evolution, all CBRN equipment has had a similar job and performed it in the same way. In essence, stopping the wearer from being exposed to radiation or toxic agents. CBRN defence revolves around exposure prevention, treatment, early warning and decontamination, and the methods for all of them have followed the same principles, only to be improved upon mainly with advances in chemistry and material science. Making CBRN gear more ergonomic, longer-lived and better-protecting will make it even more effective at preventing casualties, while the use of drones and unmanned ground vehicles in tandem with advanced detecting equipment will make it even easier to detect and identify CBRN threats, so they can be addressed even more efficiently.
Further increases the ability of army divisions, combat engineers, and army bases to withstand nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

Protects against:

Advanced Chaff and IR Decoys (ECM_Bonus_3)

As missile guidance became smarter and smarter, electronic countermeasures would have to become more sophisticated and illusive to successfully confuse enemy missiles and throw them off course. Improvements to the shape and composition of chaff would allow it to linger in the air for longer periods of time and produce greater, more confusing radar returns. Additionally, broadcasting a jamming signal directly into a cloud of chaff can create a large, convincing false target for missiles. New countermeasure patterns and dispersion strategies were also developed to defeat tracking algorithms, by being more random and harder to discern, as well as attempting to fool the guidance system in a number of ways at multiple points along its course. Countermeasures for other types of guidance other than just infrared and radar would also be developed, and would evolve to a point where even relatively small systems could be protected, diminishing the effectiveness of enemy homing missiles as a whole. Although some missiles will still be able to bypass these countermeasures, advanced ECM will greatly improve the survivability of units threatened by guided missiles.
Passively reduces the accuracy and damage done by enemy homing missiles, including those used against armies and combat engineers.

Advanced Civil EMP Shielding (EMP_Defence_Mod_4)

The advent of new shielding materials and systems will make it economical and practical to protect more and more devices from EMPs. The adoption of decentralized power generation through the widespread use of emergency generators, solar panels, and other alternative energy sources, will keep more of the electrical grid functioning after an attack and allow it to come back online piece by piece even if major powerplants are affected. This will allow more infrastructure to keep operating and reduce the time needed to fix the damage. Although considerable disruptions will still be inevitable, the civilian economy will be in a much better position to continue operating in the wake of an EMP attack with these measures and technologies in place.
Further shortens the duration of EMP effects on cities. Also lessens the severity of the effects on GDP.

The effectiveness of midcourse ABMs is heavily reliant on accurately tracking and predicting the course of the target projectile, and better guidance and tracking systems are needed to get midcourse ABM systems to a point where a single interceptor could reliably attack and engage an incoming warhead. Although accuracy was always the limiting factor for midcourse ABM performance, improved booster and steering systems would also be necessary to give the interceptors the range and finesse they needed to reliably make the flight adjustments to get on a collision course with their targets.
Further increases the maximum engagement range and effectiveness of midcourse interceptors.

Advanced Tactical Optics (Advanced_Tactical_Optics_EntMod)

The latest next-generation night-vision and thermal optics allow infantry to operate in near total darkness as if it were only a minor inconvenience, and increasing the reliability and energy efficiency of these systems only makes them more accessible. Concurrently, making thermal and night-vision sights standard on armoured vehicles greatly increases their situational awareness, and by extension, their ability to strike first and perform effectively in combat. Thanks to a combination of electronic weapon sights, laser designators and infrared illuminators, ground forces will be able to spot, mark, relay and engage targets with ease from further away, even with obstructions like thick vegetation or harsh weather obscuring their targets.
Increases the detection ranges for spec-ops, security checkpoints and army divisions.
Increases the range of small arms weapons, and slightly increases their accuracy and damage.

Basic CBRN Defence (CBRN_Defence_0)

CBRN stands for Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear, and CBRN defence seeks to miminize the effects of all of the above. Although chemical defence measures existed as early as 1915, the advent of nuclear weapons had serious implications for armies. Because armies tend to be large, dispersed and often in cover, the raw destructive power of nuclear weapons is often inefficient against army formations as a whole (yet undeniably effective against localized targets) but the threat of nuclear fallout creates new challenges. Although there’s no surviving a nuclear explosion at close range, personnel who aren't killed instantly can protect themselves from radiation, using respirators and specially-designed clothing which minimizes their exposure to hazardous materials and is easily decontaminated, very similarly to existing chemical defense equipment, but with emphasis on resisting radiation and offering full-body coverage.
Better CBRN Defense equipment will reduce the damage your army divisions, combat engineers and army bases will sustain from nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, but not their survivability against conventional weapons. Invest in this technology if you're expecting chemical or bioweapon attacks, or if your strategy for nuclear war relies on armies!

Basic EMP Shielding (EMP_Defence_Mod_1)

When a nuclear weapon explodes, it creates an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, which can disrupt electronic equipment. The EMP effects of nuclear weapons were predicted even before the very first tests were performed, and in fact the equipment at those tests were shielded accordingly. Electronics can be shielded from EMPs by either encasing them with a metal electrical shield to absorb the current, or by hardening the individual components in the electronics that are most likely to be damaged. Protecting the most crucial and vulnerable military electronics from EMPs will minimize the downtime spent repairing them and allow many of them to keep operating, albeit at an impaired capacity. Civilian assets, however, will still be extremely vulnerable.
Without this technology, many units will be completely stunned when attacked by an EMP and aircraft will crash instantly. Be sure to invest in this if you ever suspect your enemies will develop EMP weapons!
Reduces the severity and duration of EMP effects on military hardware.

CBRN Countermeasures (CBRN_Defence_2)

As the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction proliferated, increased emphasis would be placed on giving armies the means to survive them. CBRN Defence equipment would improve in its ergonomics and protective properties, but an increased emphasis would be placed on early warning and mitigating the effects of CBRN weapons directly. Chemical detection paper, geiger counters and antidotes for common chemical weapons would become standard-issue in environments where exposure to CBRN threats was expected. Improved systems for decontaminating CBRN-exposed equipment and personnel would also be developed. These improvements would serve to increase the military's capacity to survive and continue operating in CBRN environments, but of course, weapons of mass destruction are never forgiving, and heavy casualties were still expected.
Increases the ability of army divisions, combat engineers, and army bases to withstand nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

Protects against:

Chaff and Flare Countermeasures (ECM_Bonus_1)

The development of the first homing missiles created an instant demand for protection against them. Given the primitive guidance systems of these new threats, the most practical and readily developable solution to counteract them was to create ways to confuse their guidance systems and make them miss their targets. Radar-reflecting chaff was developed shortly after the proliferation of radar as a means of giving off confusing and misleading radar returns, and was quickly adapted into a countermeasure against radar-seeking missiles once they became prominent. Infrared decoys were also rapidly developed as a way to confuse heatseeking missiles by giving off multiple false heat-signatures. By misleading and confusing the guidance systems of radar and heatseeking weapons, aircraft and surface ships would improve their chances of survival by minimizing their chances of being hit, or causing the weapons to explode at the wrong time or in the wrong place and do minimal damage.
Passively reduces the accuracy and damage done by enemy AShMs, SAMs and AAMs.

Civil EMP Preparedness (EMP_Defence_Mod_3)

Although individual electrical components are relatively easy to shield, protecting an entire power grid is a far, far more complicated and demanding endeavor. Attempting to shield the entire power grid would be untenable as almost every component, including power lines, can be affected by an EMP and would have to be shielded, which is not practically feasible. Taking measures to shield the most important and difficult-to-replace infrastructure, as well as planning a surplus of replacement parts, will make it easier to restore and repair the electrical grid in the wake of an EMP attack. Although the effects will still be severe, they won’t be felt for as long.
Shortens the duration that cities will be affected by EMPs.

Civilian CBRN Casualty Treatment (Survival_Boost_4)

Weapons of mass destruction often produce casualties with injuries that regular medical personnel aren’t equipped to deal with. Although a nuclear blast is very similar to an upscaled conventional explosion, it also produces nuclear fallout and causes radiation poisoning, which is often poorly understood and difficult to treat. Chemical weapon injuries also require very specific treatment and antidotes, and casualties exposed to contagious bioweapons must be treated carefully to protect others from being infected. Making medicine for WMD victims publicly accessible and preparing first-responders and medical care teams with the training and supplies they need to properly treat casualties will help to ensure that more civilians survive and recover from their injuries. Although even optimistically, the healthcare system will be hard-pressed to withstand a major WMD attack, these tools will be invaluable to whatever is left of it after the fact.

Comprehensive Survival Infrastructure (Survival_Boost_6)

The logistics and preparations needed to shelter thousands of people from the effects of nuclear blasts and the ensuing radiation is no easy feat, but it is possible, provided a tremendous amount of funding and support. Massive hardened underground shelters can be constructed for the public and furnished with the facilities needed to support huge groups of survivors, complete with amenities like independent power generation and electricity, clean water, food supplies, sleeping accommodations and sanitation. Building and maintaining these shelters would take a substantial amount of time, planning and resources, but they would provide civilians who are unable to evacuate with the most ironclad chance at survival available. This infrastructure can also be repurposed to aid the civil power in other disasters as well, such as tornadoes, uncontrollable wildfires, and any other situation where thousands of people could find themselves suddenly displaced and in need of shelter and other necessities. Other measures, like hardening infrastructure like bridges and underground transit, and having clear and well-coordinated evacuation, response and contingency plans, will help prepare the civilian population for the absolute worst to come. Millions of deaths are still inevitable, but there are still many that can hope to be spared.

Cyber Warfare Center (U_Cyber_Warfare_Center)

A discreet office space staffed by hackers and intelligence operatives with the provisions necessary to conduct anonymous cyber attacks against foreign entities. Cyber Attacks will not trigger war and cannot be traced back to the attacker unless it's possible to deduce who was responsible by other means. This can be useful for subtly weakening your opponent's GDP output without being immediately culpable.
Different targets are affected by cyber attacks in different ways:
When used against an enemy city, it temporarily nullifies the espionage capabilites of that city and also reduces its science and espionage GDP outputs.
When uses against an espionage or research center, it temporarily nullifies the bonuses provided by the building.
When used against an enemy cyber warfare center, it prevents it from executing an attack of its own.
+ Can be used to cripple enemy espionage.
+ Can be used to harm enemy GDP outputs.
+ Does not reveal itself when attacking.
+ Can be built in numbers for greater effect.

Early Tactical Optics (Tactical_Optics_EntMod)

Increasing the performance of night-vision and thermal optics even further allows them to be directly integrated with fire control systems on vehicles and used in head-mounted goggles and weapon sights by infantry. Rather than being relegated to reconnaissance teams in bulky packages that were difficult to work with, these new optics were less intrusive to use and could be used more frequently and ubiquitously, with many examples being light and ergonomic enough to be used in live combat. Though at this stage, there were still performance gaps to be filled, like battery life, performance and weight, there was a clear advantage to be had in being able to acquire a target and then immediately engage it.
Increases the detection ranges for spec-ops, security checkpoints and army divisions.

Emergency Broadcast System (Survival_Boost_2)

Preparing the civilian populace for the threat of a nuclear attack is instrumental in reducing the number of casualties in the event that the threat becomes realized, as is ensuring that they're aware it's even happening when the time comes. Educating the public on how to protect themselves during an attack and how to prepare for nuclear fallout will reduce the initial number of casualties, and advance emergency planning will provide a timely response to prevent further losses and restore order. The use of an emergency broadcast system will give citizens a degree of prior warning so they can seek shelter, rather than be caught off-guard in the open and make sure they know what they need to do to maximize their chances of surviving. Although losses are inevitable, setting up the infrastructure to broadcast this information and putting it into a format that's easily digestible will help save lives.

Hit-To-Kill Midcourse ABM (ABM_Mk2_Modifier)

Early conventional ABMs were seriously lacking in their capabilities given what was at stake, and although, realistically, the idea of any ABM system successfully repelling a mass missile attack is wishful thinking at best, better interceptors would be needed if midcourse ABMs could be relied on without being nuclear-armed. Eventually, once missile guidance systems and tracking radars became advanced enough, hit-to-kill midcourse interceptors could be developed. Rather than relying on conventional explosives or the overwhelming force of a nuclear blast, this generation of interceptors would directly smash into the incoming warhead (which is already moving towards the ground at upwards of Mach 20) and cause it to violently break apart on impact without detonating properly. Although kinetic interceptors will reliably score kills if they can connect, given the incredible speeds involved and the small size of the targets, scoring a direct hit is a daunting and very expensive challenge.

With the advent of nuclear weapons, the potential for civilian casualties during wartime increased exponentially. Although in fact, the deadliest air raids of WWII inflicted more damage than the first nuclear attacks, an air raid capable of doing such damage requires dozens of bombers carrying hundreds of tonnes of ordnance. Thanks to nuclear weapons, a single plane with a single weapon can kill tens or hundreds of thousands in seconds. Casualty and damage reduction plans would have to be massively reworked to account for the unique threats posed by nuclear weapons.

Portable Electronic Optics (Portable_Electronic_Optics_EntMod)

In any battle, knowing exactly where the enemy is can mean the difference between a decisive victory and a crushing defeat. Effective ground reconnaissance allows armies and special forces to identify their targets from farther away and engage them earlier. Early night-vision and infrared imagers were big, cumbersome and had limited effectiveness, but they provided an advantage in finding enemy targets at night and in poor conditions. By sizing down these devices to a more manageable size and improving their performance, ground reconnaissance teams can use them to find enemy forces and precisely determine their positions. This increases the situational awareness of their parent unit and allows for more consistent and effective long-range attacks.

Armed, remote-controlled robots can supplement (but not replace) the ranks of regular infantry as expendable soldiers that can be tasked to do things that would be far too risky for humans to willingly or safely carry out. Having a sacrificable scapegoat for high-risk action is especially valuable for long-range patrols, where the risk of death or capture is especially high, as well as in regular combat situations. Integrated sensors and data fusion can also serve as a force-multiplier for those fighting alongside the robots, as they’ll be able to provide targeting data as they actively fight alongside their unit.

Sufficiently powerful lasers are capable of blinding the guidance systems on optically-guided missiles, as well as heating up the electrical components on non-optical weapons to a point where they overheat and stop functioning properly. Lasers that are powerful enough to blind or disable (but not destroy) incoming missiles have the potential to offer a relatively lightweight anti-missile active protection system for small platforms like combat aircraft. Although it's not a perfect defence and these weapons may not be able to always dazzle enemy missiles, a successfully damaged and blinded missile is far, far less likely to score a kill than one that's in working order. Combining active blinding with other passive methods like chaff and flares will make it much harder for incoming missiles to hit their mark, but it doesn't guarantee immunity, especially against multiple sufficiently advanced weapons.

Increasingly potent chemical agents and the growing risk posed by tactical nuclear weapons, especially neutron bombs, spurred further developments in CBRN defence technology and doctrine. With the extreme lethality of modern nerve agents and the innate danger of radiation, the best defence is often to avoid or minimize exposure to the threats in the first place. Specialized CBRN reconnaissance vehicles would be developed specifically for the task of identifying chemical agents and evaluating the risk posed by radiological threats, which by extension would allow other units to be more prepared. Improved decontamination systems and ad-hoc CBRN specialist units would also aid in minimizing casualties in the event of a WMD strike, and also extend the longevity of CBRN equipment in a contaminated environment and ensure replacements were available.

Specialized EMP Weapons (EMP_Long_Stun_Modifier)

Nuclear explosions release a burst of electromagnetic energy known as an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, which results in rapidly changing electric and magnetic fields that can damage and disable electronic equipment. At high altitudes, this EMP interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field and ionizes some of the atmosphere, which dramatically increases the EMP’s effects and range. Specialized high altitude EMP weapons, known as HEMPs, are nuclear weapons that explode at altitudes of around 400km in order to maximize this effect and knock out electrical infrastructure like communications and power grids. Although military equipment can be electrically shielded to protect against EMPs, most civilian electronics are vulnerable.

Stealth Technology (Aircraft_Stealth_Bonus_Modifier_1)

Although the concept of 'stealth' in the traditional sense greatly predates human history, in the recent military context, it refers to a suite of features that render an object or a system difficult to observe or track using conventional methods like radar or thermal imaging. Stealth technology generally relies on radar-absorbing material, a distorting profile that minimizes radar returns and a number of other features designed to stop the object in question from reflecting radar and revealing its position. In military applications, this has obvious benefits as it makes the user much more difficult to find and destroy, and ensures they can keep the element of surprise for much longer.

Terminal Ballistic Missile Defences (Terminal_ABM_No_Target_Decoy_Modifier)

A terminal anti-ballistic missile system is a defencive weapon designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic warheads in the last phase of their trajectory, just minutes or seconds before they hit their targets. In order to be effective, terminal ABM systems need a high-degree of precision, advance warning, and incredible acceleration characteristics to intercept and destroy their targets before they can hit. Operating at relatively short ranges gives terminal defence systems a limited window to operate, making them best used as a last-resort to protect priority point targets like major cities or military installations. Because of their short, in-atmosphere operating ranges, they can discern between decoys (which are less dense and fall more slowly in air) and genuine targets. They're very effective within their range, but can't defeat multiple warheads at once, and should be used along with midcourse ABM systems for maximum effectiveness. They'll also require some form of missile detection to operate as well!
Unlocks mobile Terminal ABM sites, and adds terminal ABMs to advanced destroyers and cruisers. Terminal ABMs are not affected by decoy warheads.

Web-Based Survival Tools (Survival_Boost_5)

Thanks to the internet, it’s possible to transmit information all over the world in a matter of seconds. Exploiting the ubiquity of the internet and mass communication, instructions can easily be transmitted to civilians in the event of an attack which will help to ensure they take appropriate action as well as quell the ensuing panic and chaos. The internet also allows everyone to have an easily accessible repository of information that can help them survive in a nuclear war, which will improve their odds further. It will take time and effort to harden the information infrastructure enough to still be somewhat reliable in the wake of a nuclear attack, as well as leverage it properly to inform the public, but doing so will ensure that everyone has access to the information they need to maximize their chances.
Further reduces the number of deaths in your cities when hit.
