I agree completly troops are a non-event in the game at the moment. I havent been invaded by the a.i since i bought the game and ive fiddled with the settings but still no invasions. I think genocides the way warfare going to be in this game which is a shame, especially for the role-playing side of things.

I also think troops should be standard technology to all races. It shouldn't have to be researched. It's not Rocket Science!
It's a technology every race would have long before they reached outer space!

Agreed...
In fact I did make Troops and Troop weapons starting tech...

For bombardment, I think planets should have a base Armor rating like scattering armor which completely ignores damage under a certain amount, then the population modifier should be applied to it... big weapons, esp. those designed for bombardment should be able to glass a planet... but a standard fleet should have difficulty at best, this would force people to either use troops or make specialized ships for bombardment.
