Research condition
United States; Commerce Age; State Capitol; 1,250 Food; 10 seconds.
When to research
Research before a defensive hold when stronger buildings or a Wall line can protect an important route. The technology does not construct or repair anything, and it cannot stop an army from bypassing the fortified position. Pair it with troops and production that can exploit the time the structures buy.
Building durability for the United States
State Constitutions is a Commerce Age United States technology at the State Capitol. It costs 1,250 Food and takes 10 seconds. It increases building hit points by 25%; Walls receive a 125% increase instead. The Wall effect is a separate stronger value, not an additional bonus on top of 25%.
Support a defensive expansion
The quick research can help when preparing to hold a forward settlement or wall line. It does not build structures or stop siege damage, so units still need to defend them. Compare the Food cost with the next Age and unit queue; the bonus has less value if the opponent can bypass the fortified area.
