5000 soldiers causes lost of 5M colonies

Any one else seeing this in game.

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have 5 advance troop pods on ship. This holds 5000 soldiers for invasions. But as I load the soldiers, I lose 5 million in population on the planet. Is this a bug in the game. I verified these are advance troop pods and not colony pods on the ship. The screen also states 5000 soldiers. Sorry if this was on the forum before, but I can't find it. Any one else seeing this in game.

The 5000 is 5000K i.e. 5M.

You get the reverse effect (if you can call it that) once the troups take a planet at the other end of their journey.

just checking - you do mean 5 million not 5 billion? even though the ships say 5000 soldiers, it means 5 billion, and this is what you should lose from your planet. if you are indeed losing only 5 million (ie your population is hardly changing when you load the troop ship fully) then it is a bug!

No, it is actually 5000 million soldiers, which is 5 billion people. It's working as intended.
