Are planetary invasions still supposed to be really easy? Like take out 5 times the number of defenders accounting for defense modifiers? I understand why that was the case when it was first implemented but now it seems excessive.
If you needed even numbers, empires would depopulate each other when they went to war.
This way still depopulates pretty well. I did't catch the transport in time but I had 22.5 with about a 43% resistance so I wasn't overly worried. But 2.5 invaders won with conventional warfare. I expected with an almost 4 to 1 advantage I would retain the planet while I sent more ships to protect that area even if I lost most of my population. The colony ended up with I think 3.8. I see that as a lot of depopulation and that there isn't much need for other types of invasion.
I can see why invasions would in the initial testing phase kill 10 times the number of invaders but now that there are other options and its time for balance. I don't mind conventional warfare to favor the invader against 2 to 4 times the number of defenders but beyond that it should be because the invaders are much more skilled.
