Default Re: Has anyone ever seen AI use troops and capture a planet

If you don't destroy the weapons platforms on a planet, you can have problems. Otherwise, unless you're setting your ground combat really low, it shouldn't be that big a deal to take over a planet with one freighter full of troops.

What kind of weapons are you giving your troops? I like the small organic ones, namely the electric discharge or whatever it's called. Not only is it good damage per turn, you can build troops more quickly because of the balanced mineral costs.
