Colonizing w/ conquored population

that happens if you start with a dome colony, then add the population that breathes the atmosphere and take away the other pop? Does the dome go away?

The dome is 'raised' or 'lowered' based on if there is any unit of a race there that breathes a different atomsphere.
If you have 7999 units on a huge gas giant and add 1 unit of a race that does not breathe the atomsphere. The dome goes up and max facilities and populations limits are reduced.

It is only base on having a different atomsphere race on the planet. No build time or delay in raise or lowering. (Unless you are in s simultaneous game and can not tell your transport to drop 1 type of race and pick up the other race during your movement.)

wow, i thought it used to be based on the majority of the population on the planet. indeed, it is described that way somewhere... HTML help, i think.

So if you run around dropping populations on enemy (or ally) worlds, you could force domes to do up...

You can't drop colonists on enemy worlds. Even Allied worlds will reject any transfer orders you give them.

I seem to remember that being the ONLY way I could pacify one empire I tokk in a recent game. They were neutral disposition (not a neutral race) and I had built Urban Pac III's in the systems. Waited at least 20 turns and could not seem to make them budge from Rioting. Once I parked a fleet in the system, they upped to Angry in under 5 turns. Then I moved the fleet to the next system, waited 5 turns, then moved to next system, etc. I don't believe it was the Urban Pac's 'cause I built ALL of them at the same time - only when a fleet was in the system would it increase their happines. ...and they were Neutral disposition, not bloodthirsty or peaceful.

Note that it dosen't matter what disposition the captured pop has, since they take on almost all of your race's traits.

If you were not a neutral happiness type, then everything was normal.
