I can see already your going to have to introduce some kind of defense

against space transports.

As it stands right now, you can defeat an entire world by simply jumping transports full of troops to each city/cluster of cities.The rest of the map becomes irrelevant.In human multiplayer, this would make the war insanely chaotic.It would also make it harder to defend a planet, then to attack one.Which is of course backwards.

Perhaps a space gun battery so massive,it can only be maintained in a city.(IE only buildable in cities). That can shoot down space transports that try to land within a certain distance of a city ? Or a shield that disrupts space ship engines,also must be built in cities.The shield would cause any ship trying to land inside it, to lose power and crash to the planet surface ...?

Thanks, ticket 26839.
I like the idea of a radial defense around a city, forcing the aggressor to take into account the geography of the planet before attacking.

should apply this to planets also.

Make it so ships can only teleport in outside a certain range of the planet.
