Ah, that's cool. 'Cause I was going to have quite a few more questions about what sort of contests of wits and skill one could engage in with potassium.

Another troop question, perhaps OT: Do any sort of troops affect population happyness the same. Would it be possible to build incredably cheap Flower Power Friendly Tanks with nothing but a cockpit and still get the happyness bonus?

If you used troops with only shields (assuming they survived obmital bombardment), would ground combat damage be applied to them begore being applied to the militia? How is such damage spread around?

Yes. Only troop quantity matters for happiness, not quality.

I originally thought damage was applies left to right only, in the order the troops are listed (placed on the planet). I think that may just be the lowest order, though, and/or it's changed. If I recall correctly, I've seen Proportions troop combat where losses were occurring to both vehicles and infantry in the same combat round.
