Transports / Combat Transports

Published on January 16, 2005 By Trinox In Galactic Civilizations II

In GC / Altarian Prophecy I found it a pain to have to wait until a transport was built or just buy one to have it lost when I take over a planet.. I could see it making sense to lose the ship if you fail to take over the planet but what happens to it if you do take over the planet? Where does that ship go? Is it going to be the same case in GC2. Just a really really minor sort of suggestion. I can't really see how it'd effect the game much.

GC1, only those transports needed to win the battel were used up.

ld take time to build which would mean that that ship could not invade - conquer & move off in a single turn.

is the tax payers you have to convert to cannon fodd... errrr... soldiers. Usually I have my low morale planets build the combat transports...

an take a dozen combat transports. For balance issues, the Black Class Combat Transport doesn't show up until you get Overlord technology, and it is expensive, but you should only need one or two to invade a 100bil population planet.

or, again, as Nico56 did allow for a larger transport once you research a particular tech.

the combat transport defence rating since is ways too high. Even a battleship gets a lot of pain from them.

What do you think?

that many excess troops, so when the transport leaves the troop level on the planet is still at x%. This way there is no micromanagement or delay in troop levels.

I don't think they should have any guns at all. It should be that you need to send other ships along with it to protect it until invasion time.

a troop and/or settler carrier, if you've developped the corresponding technology and if you're ready to pay the price for such a huge and complex ship.
