Default Re: Planetary bombardment(genocide)

I've found that if you try to kill off all pop on a full planet, you severely reduce it's conditions. I guess if you want to colonize a planet with deadly conditions (after you kill off 4 Billion people) you're welcome to it.

I remember SE3 being very easy to just wipe out the pop with no repercusions. It is a LOT harder IMO to 'purge' a pop. To begin with, you need a LOT more firepower - A LOT MORE. Those of you who have SE3, load it and compare - you'll see what I mean.

All that said, I do agree that the whole issue still need "tweaking". If any of you play SMAC, maybe it should be treated like a "Planet Buster". In SMAC (Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri), if you use a 'planet buster' missle, all the other players almost immediately declare war on you (in SMAC its called vendetta). Maybe that might work and may be a relatively simple (programming wise) solution.

Thoughts????
