If you're playing against a human, make sure to check your opponent's ground combat racial characteristic. A lot of players drop it to 50% in order to get extra racial points to spend on other things, but this makes them extremely vulnerable to invasion; the 50% reduction applies to militia number as well as militia combat ability.
From what I've seen, when a player drops his ground combat ability to 50% you only need _one quarter_ as many troops to take his planets as you would if he was at 100%, and conversely he'd need _four times_ as many troops to take over one of your own planets. Such players make excellent sources of slave labour.
