Stockpiles & Production
Supplies are built in a city, stored in its buildings, and belong to whoever holds it.
THREE KINDS OF STOCK
Missiles, ammunition and deployable gear are items, not stats. There is no national pool: each city holds its own stock, and each building holds its own share of it. Missiles and ammunition sit in supply-storing buildings; gear sits in the city. Capture a city and you capture everything stored in it.
BUILT AT WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT
Missiles and ammunition are produced in batches at a city's Weapons Development, each on its own line with 2 / 3 / 4 slots by level. A missile needs its research done first and sometimes a base of a given level too. The batch size is locked in when you queue it, from the Weapons Development level at that moment:
| MISSILE FAMILY | PER BATCH L1 / L2 / L3 |
|---|---|
| SWARM | 4 / 8 / 12 |
| AIR-TO-AIR, AIR-TO-GROUND, SURFACE-TO-AIR, ANTI-ARMOR, LASER-GUIDED, LOITERING | 2 / 4 / 6 |
| CRUISE, BALLISTIC, SURFACE-TO-SURFACE, HYPERSONIC, NAVAL | 1 / 2 / 3 |

STORAGE
Supply-storing buildings hold missiles and ammunition by weight, up to a limit per level. A finished batch always lands in the city's Weapons Development, and a batch is refused if Weapons Development doesn't have room for it (batches already queued reserve their space). Moving stock on to the bases is up to you — see Moving Supplies.
