Re: Riots?
Yes, I totally agree. That would be good. The ground combat system is underdeveloped, to be sure. It has been for at least a few iterations of the series (having only really seen the game since 3 and on).
But, given that there are a limited number of troop types, it's better to give some purpose to the smaller troop types later in the game, and one example of such a purpose that currently exists is policing worlds.
However, removing this purpose and modding the game so that large troops are better in addition to the other advantages they currently enjoy, which is clearly what you were describing as a deisrable change, would be undesirable for the reasons I have already given. Now, if you'd like to rework ground units and combat entirely, that sounds good to me, but it wasn't what we were talking about previously.
