[Q]

Honestly, I think this issue is one that should go the Malfador, if it hasn't already.

Troops shouldn't die along with WPs in planetary bombardment. They should die like facilities, which I think are destroyed proportional to the death of population. That would make more sense, and would make defense troops possible.

just my dos centavos..

I agree, but this may be difficult to change. Troops are units and if the planet is bombarded the game seems to pick the smallest units first to get destroyed. It does not differentiate between different unit types. The only way I see this could be changed without major modification would be that the largest units are destroyed first. Then the weapon platforms would die first and in strategic combat the attacking troops would be landed as soon as they are gone while still some defending troops are on the planet. However in tactical combat the attacker could easily continue bombarding till all defending troops are dead.
