Re: Newbie question
I do not think it's that hard to invade planets with ground troops, as long as you have researched the techs required.
In case you don't know what's the tech required... you need "Troops" & "Troop Weapons". But if your race has access to another tech tree, such as Organic, then you can research "Smaller Weapons" instead of "Troop Weapons". They are much more powerful than the standard troop weapons.
Assuming no other ground units on the target planet, the defending force is approximatly 1 per 20M to 25M. For a small AI start-up, with around 40M, the defending force will be only 2. So if you can land a much larger number of troops, you can take the planet without lossing any unit.
