The Dawn of Retribution can only be fielded by the most experienced Crincillin commanders, for fear that such prized technology could be lost and reverse engineered. Ultimately, this means that all available techs must be brought down from the Armada before a DoR can be built. When built, it has a charge time of approximately 4 minutes before it can be used, so it must be defended while it is preparing itself. Although, what the DoR can do to an enemy base is worth the long wait. A direct blast from the DoR's laser will slow anything in it's impact radius by 90% for 8 long seconds. This leaves units and defenses near-helplessly awaiting a Crincillin army to finish them off!
