Default Re: Riot Runs, Chain Attacks.

brian there are 3 types of troops.

1. riot police... which are empty shells and cheap
2. Soaker Troops. Put the ecm and shields on them
3. Attack troops. put the combat bonus and best weapon

When attacking planets it is good to use soaker troops then attack troops.

riot poliece are of the smallest kind. hence why many mods have 5kt or 1kt troops... And the troop pod. Nothing else. Build 150 to 180 on each planet. That will keep from the riots. Unless you cannot fit that many then build what you can.

Why 150 or more. Well when you have a large empire you can lose the max happiness points a turn very easy. So you need that amount of troops to off set this value.
