Combat versus major and minor races.
The Romulans ends up with the Chamora being right next door. They are a minor race of warriors with morale 1, Ground defense 50, Ground defense bonus 70, and a population of 37.9 billion on three planets in that system. I sent this light fleet of a single fighter S'capus and single destroyer V'emur as they have no spaceships, and four transports, with 8 Rotharian air squadron fighter troops on as the invasion force. That means almost no aerial bombardment to soften them up. I lost miserably all eight troops. It's ugly but I will have to MOAB bomb them into the Stone Age. The Russian version is far more powerful. Both are thermobaric.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MTMcYHrAdl4 It was a test to see just how strong are they? And to see if you can minimally do bombardment. I already have another destroyer and a cruiser in the queue.
I'm sure that combat is highly complex based on who is the flagsheep, accumuated experience, armament, hull amd shield strength, kinds of countermeasures and manner of attack.
I have suggested formations of attack in space. GalCiv2 has ground invasion tactics in the techtree and that is a good idea as already there are defensive ground techniques in the techtree. That is why I lost; it just wasn' t explained well with text messages.
The engagement process is quirky as how can warriors do much against air squadrons? There is no indication they have RPGs or antiaircraft weaponry so I should have won. They would chew them to bits.
Or the text descriptors would explain how the Chamorans could repel the invasion besides the modifiers. Aerial bombardment with drag bombs and firebombing is ugly.
I'm experimenting as I have been playing as the Klingons and used two fleets with mixed units. The first softened the same minor race by ships which angers the Klingon fleet as they see it as dishonorable so causes a negative morale modifier to your popularity with the people. Then a second fleet of transport ships with ground troops. Then I tried a mixed spaceships and transports doing a multiturn attack. The Klingons had no problem; the Romulans were humiliated.
