Or maybe not. Do you have a savegame?

i don't think they were drawn from somewhere else, but i didn't check it. I'll take a look at the comparisons graph and see what happened to my population during the rebellion.

i have a savegame, but not on this computer, i'll copy it and post it tomorrow.

If the rebels got everything in the sector, and had something like the "no relations for x turns after war declared", then they might stand a chance.

That population boost may have been trying to make up for the pathetic chances a rebellion has in SE4.

well, i didn't think about demanding their surrender, not until after my attempt to capture one of the planets failed...

i think everytime a new empire is created, it gets the maximum pop it can hold, regardless how much it already has.
When you start a game, everything goes well, because all the planets are empty and the population fits.
But when a new empire is formed after a rebellion, the planet already has some population, and the new pop. is just added.
