I think militias are much more organic in their creation, and should "spawn" when an invasion occurs. They would draw from the existing population, reducing the workforce. If they invasion is repulsed, they disappear and repopulate the planet's workforce. Depending on Influences, militia units COULD potentially spawn the SUPPORT the invasion (depending on who the invader is).
Yes, that's the basic idea, and then if you integrate those population units would spread to other planets as well through natural migration. If you isolate they don't. If you enslave then their race's natural productivity is a baseline for their value as a slave race.
Conquering a world is actually a great opportunity to make a choice for your society. After the world is conquered, what to do with the population? How will that choice affect relations with other races? How does the disposition of THAT race affect the choices you could make? My thoughts: CHOICES Integrate (Benevolent): The conquered
I would like to see ground combat become more of a factor in production choices, resource allocation, improvement choices, and even the tech tree. Imagine being able to design legions of infantry, power armor, air assault, mechanized armor, etc with advanced weapons or make cheaper units to guard less strategic planets. Then, taking it to another level, integrating space/ground combat with ship components designed to provide assistance to ground combat (Command and Control, Fire
My recommendations (I haven't had the chance to see the stream yet, but I've been reading everyone else's comments): 1) Generals AND Legions should be reusable, and gain experience. Generals would be able to control more legions at once with higher experience, and legions would fight more effectively 2) 1 Transport Module should be able to hold 1 legion, and legions should be transportable between planets (the General's level determines how many legions c
