Seems like migration might be broken
 

It seems:

If you get a race to surrender, who breathe an atmosphere that you don't, then they won't migrate.

Or is there a secret feather that I need to tickle under their damn hydrogen breathing chins?

I didn't have an AI surrender to me, but I conquered a lot of colonies with population of a different atmosphere type and they migrated very nicely to my colonies with the corresponding atmosphere.
If only the other population on these colonies would leave quickly, it would prevent a mass murder!

What a heartless despot!

Re: Seems like migration might be broken
 

You know Q I am offended by your comment! I never commit mass murder; I may liberate a few lucky people from the confines of their fleshy shells but I never commit murder. I demand that you retract that statement! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Seems like migration might be broken
 

I'm in agreement with PES. Though I would handle it differently, by sending a transport, picking up the unwanted race, then showing them the wonders of exploring space without a suit.

Murder is wrong.

Re: Seems like migration might be broken
 

In SE:V you can jettison population directly from the planet without using a transport.

Re: Seems like migration might be broken
 

WHAT! And I thought Q was cold... how can you deny them a final free cruise? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Seems like migration might be broken
 

They get a final free cruise when the Population Transport Minister starts being able to do this. Until then, I'm not going to bother.

Re: Seems like migration might be broken
 

Cold would be if you scrap the unwanted population (remember soylent green?). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
Jettison population gives them the quantum incertainty chance, that they might land in a place where they can survive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
