Military-Industrial Complex

At the heart of modern civilisation is cutting-edge research, and the military-industrial complex best exemplifies this stance. Accessible only to the most scientifically-minded expansionist powers of the world, the military-industrial complex (or "MIC" for short) provides your units with the most powerful and devastating weapons that state-of-the-art fin de siecle science has to offer, ranging from powerful new machines all the way to weapons of mass destruction.
Like the Munitions Ministry from Rise of Kings, it is capable of training artillery units and defending itself, but it is a very valuable piece of hardware - so try not to lose it the best you can. Should an enemy take it, they may secure its services for their own ends and eventually build more advanced weapons of their own.
==Trivia==
In Time of War: 1800, the MIC is renamed the "Academy of Sciences", and units such as the Tank and 100mm Howitzer are absent.
==Units constructed==
*Flamethrower [5]
*Tanks: Mk V, Fiat 2000, A7V (requires Propulsion System, Modern Artillery from Arsenal)
*Scout Car:
*Recoilless gun [5] (requires Mechanisation Doctrine) - highly specialised infantry that deals massive damage to tanks. Costlier than assault infantry, with a better attack, but poor rate of fire.
*Super heavy artillery:
**15 cm Kanone 16 (least technically difficult to build)
**Skoda 305 mm (sacrifices range for immense splash
**BL 60lber (lighter and faster to fire but with low attack)
**155mm GPF (slow but powerful long-ranged artillery.)
:This version of artillery is costlier, but fairly powerful, having added splash (of 3 as opposed to 2 for normal Rifled Guns) and is meant to function as a super-gun that is devastating to all targets, and deals minimal damage to tanks and airplanes. Unsurprisingly these are huge guns so they have a min range equivakent to their splash damage (2  or 3 in some cases). Austrian Skoda guns have the best splash rate but fire at a set trajectory, while the French ones fire the farthest but are the slowest on the move.
==Non-UU upgrades==
===Arsenal===
*modern artillery. Requires: Rifled Cannon, Advanced Breechloaders + Propulsion system
*machine gun. Requires Propulsion Systems
===Airstrip===
*biplane. Requires: Aerial Warfare
*bomber aircraft. Requires: Aerial Warfare
==Hosted Technologies==
To unlock the MIC, you must first research Bessemer Process. This then allows you to build it, and it will function like a Terracotta Army.
