Re: Troops are useless

The problem is, any amount higher than 1 is completely arbitrary and will lead to stupid mechanics. Say you set it to 50 troops. What if my invasion force is reduced to 49? Even though I've slaughtered all enemy units and militia, I suddenly can't conquer the planet, for lack of 1 troop... makes no sense. If you set it to 1, then its completely meaningless. Just put one heavily armored, unarmed troop unit with your fighter invasion force and you haven't really solved any problem. Any other low number has the same effect.
