My current job is one of those mindless ones in which I do mindless labor for 7-8 hours a day. This means I think aboiut EIR that whole time. And so I've been thinking about doctrins. Whether or not this all just for my own fun or maybe some of this wil get picked up on by the devs doesn't matter. The doctrains need a bit of fluff and focusing in my opinion so I've come up with a brief bit on each doctrine.
Basicaly its a Related quote, a sort of propaganda paragrpah, what units I think the dotrain should focus on, and what I think the bonus for said doctrains should focus on. (I think that makes sense).
There may be better quotes, but I'm perty tired right now. Feel free to comment.
Without further adou, err, adue?
