Yesterday while playing the Drengi I was at war with the Korx. They were at the bottom of the food chain, I was on top so they got smacked pretty hard.

Anyways, I launch a transport with 1.000 troops against their homeworld with 10.000 troops. Clicking the invade button gives me relative strengths of 40 versus 4.

As 40 * 1.000 = 40.000 and 4 * 10.000 = 40.000, the invasion forces were completely matched against each other.

End result of the battle was that both sides had 0 troops remaining. Now I can understand that in this very specific case the defenders would win as they no doubt have some little people left on the planet to rebuild. And I was right, the invasion failed, the planet remained theirs.

What I do not get is how the planet maintained it's 10.000 people after the invasion. I lost my transport & 1000 troops, they lost nothing while both parties completely destroyed each other!

So that's the bug. I'm sure you'll look into it, granted it is a very specific problem and one not likely to happen often, but you guys want rodent free code so I'd thought I'd post it here.

And for those wondering what happened in the Drengi - Korx war... the Korx surrendered (more like begged for mercy) within a few weeks to the Drengi Empire!
