Population and combat

[Seik]

Hi,

there is one little thing in SE4 that really bother me:
The population on planets could be killed to easy.
If there is no defense you can kill 4.0M people in one round with only a couple of (low-tech) ships.

Because of this no one will use "Planetary-Napalm" or some other planetary-weapons.
It is to easy to kill that planet with energy weapons or some missiles.

There is an entry in the Settings.txt
("Damage Points To Kill One Population") - in my privat games I increase it to 100 (normal 10).
So you need ten times the firepower of normal wepons to do the same damage.
Simultaneously I increase the damage for the plantary-Napalm - so that you build bombers.
Maybe troops will be more important(?!)

And now my question:
"What do you think about the
population-kill-ratio?"

Regards
Seik
