Cost to invade...

from Stardock Forums
Does anyone have a reference to what the costs are to invading a planet are?
I can't find it in any of the instructions, or anywhere else, and wonder why the biggest deterence to invading other worlds in this game isn't the defenses of the enemy A.I., but it comes from the costs of 2,500 to 4,000 b.c. or more (money) per star system taken over.

Does it cost less if you raze the planet before you take it over, or more? etc.

The price is at the bottom of the invasion tactic info screen. For the second thing, I don't know.

Thanks, yeah I see it now (was looking in the documentation for this info and not finding it anywhere)
I usually use Mini Soldiers... very cost prohibitive by comparison to other tactics. esssh

Yes it is. I usually use tidal disruptors. Destroys some stuff but less than mini soldiers and doesn't ruin PQ.

But regular attacks are free. If you have enough troops (use merged transports as fleets) or good tech- I always get the Tir Quan wonder.

I just like tidal disruptors. They are my favorite invasion tactic. They don't damage PQ, and they don't cost as much as say mini-soldiers.
