[quote who="Vidszhite" reply="5" id="3555373"] There is, you just didn't realize what it was telling you. Planetary Defense kills a % of your troops before they even manage to get into the atmosphere. You can see this as "Neutralized By Defense". Once you land, it's Resistance that determines how hard the defenders actually fight. This planet has 100% Planetary Defense, so it is killing every single soldier before they even get close enough to open fire. [/quote]

Oh well I'm still learning how the invasion system works. T

In order to help populate a gigantic map, I created a few custom races. One of them was the "Type 14," a synthetic species with fortification as its #2 AI priority. Now this has come back to bite me as the Type 14 AI has managed to produce a planet with more than 100% defense, meaning it is completely invulnerable to ground invasion. Here's a screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=448815602 If I try attacking, I do no damage at a

Custom Civilizations and Political Parties Not Acting as Expected in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've recently been trying to mod in my own civilization and a political party to go with it by means of the XML files, but have encountered quite a few problems. The first thing I noticed was that negative bonuses don't seem to have any effect. At the start of the game, my civ had roughly -75% to military and social production (the general idea is that it's a race of happy-go-lucky, promiscuous people who're horrendously lazy) yet the homeworld could still construct buildings as quickly
