Back to Final Frontier civics
Capital Ship Doctrine is a civic in Final Frontier, a mod in Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword.
Strategy[]
Capital Ship Doctrine allows the faster construction of Battleships. Vital for those who prefer using these powerful units, it reduces their prohibitively-expensive cost to something more reasonable.
Civilopedia entry[]
The space-age equivalent of invading Russia in the winter, the construction of a successful Battleship fleet can easily end in folly for any principality that might dare to attempt it. The Capital Ship Doctrine requires an all-out commitment from those in power, with a fair share of a principality's military minds dedicating themselves solely to the support of such a fleet of behemoths. Luckily, once the mid-space riggings are constructed and the necessary industries assembled, Battleship construction quickly becomes a surprisingly reasonable effort at a significantly reduced cost.
