Extermination? - 12/19/2013 3:18:44 AM

Hello,

In the middle of an intense game where my empire exterminated others when it takes over enemy colonies. Two problems.

1. Some colonies cannot be killed completely, 4-5 million remain no matter how much time has passed.

2. I was hoping citizens from my other planets would migrate to the new freshly cleansed planets. This does not occur. Citizens don't migrate?

I have to wait and hope the planet hits 0 population, then send a colony ship to repopulate. Time consuming and inefficient. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Citizens migrate using passenger ships. If there are better planets to migrate to, passenger ships usually transfer the population to those planets instead.

What do you mean by freshly cleansed planets? Freshly conquered or bombarded or what?

By cleansed, I mean where the population has been eliminated through extermimation policy. Ill have empty planets with no new citizens coming to them after extermination.

I tend to build a small star base with a medical facility and recreational facility at new planets.

You have to get your people to move to them, so they have to become appealing, else you can't completely cleanse them.

Another workaround would be to set the planet to enslave until you get some migrants so you don't lose it prematurely. The problem is when you have lots of freshly colonized 0%-tax planets migration to some far-flung alien world is going to be nil. A nice addition would be some kind of "subsidies" like with smuggling, where you just pay a premium to every migrant who decides to settle there. It would be immensely useful when you want to prop up a certain planet.

fartsicle, Check the planet quality percentage. Might be to low for your race.
