Hi,
I am very inexperienced in this game (played years ago and now picked it up again a few weeks ago). But I think I found them?
Basically I stumbled over a ~1b population on a perfectly human-suited world.
This is my first encounter with Aliens in C#, so I was quite excited.
But then was lost about what to do. Communication was not happening. No ships.
So eventually I decied to land around 25k tons of infantry, which gave me an instant victory ( I don't think they had any units) and then the message that the population refuses to surrender, requiring a lot more military forces.
So eventually managed to shuttle over 250k tons of troops (which, if I read another of Steve's posts correctly, will increase in 1. 12 by a factor of 100???) and that made them surrender.
Now I have a second population on that planet with the Rogar aliens, which I am not sure what to do with. Apparently they require policing / suppressing. So I shuttled all the 250k tons of army from "my" population over to the alien population. I would have assumed they could just walk over, since its the same planet.
How can I use the aliens? Forced labor? Or will they eventually integrate into my civilisation? Can I merge the two populations on the same planet?
Thanks
Thomas
