Planet Sterilization

from GalCiv3 Forums

How does one eradicate an enemy from a planet? The whole invasion process is often tedious. It should be quite simple to either nuke a planet or drop rocks on it, rendering it devoid of life and possibly hostile to some or all forms of life.

I really did like the spore module that the Koranth Clan had in GC2..  I always felt like that was the most fun race to play if I just felt like being a jerk...

Korath spores in GC2 were very OP. It was too easy to rush research spore modules and sit here enemy homeworlds with colony ships and then upgrade them to spore ships and catch the enemy unaware and soon have a couple new HW's greatly adding to your starting power and also your influence while crippling the AIs you attacked.

I hope to not see spore modules in GC3.

after invading a planet, you can scuttle the colony, thus removing the planet from play by rendering it uninhabitable.

Yea, they were cheesy, but that's why they were fun.  At least the AI didn't do the on-the-fly upgrade, that would've been annoying...
