The change to deployable manpower is shown and seems to work when defending the planet and clicking "militia" or something among that line - the value is shown in brackets

No changes though when attacker ir selcting tactics

Also: Planetary bombardment sems to effect the attacker instead of the defender even when there are no defending ships in orbit and graphic also shows that attacker is bombarded

This is most likelly damage from defence structures that deal damage to attacking forces.

There are also minor factions that provide such damage.

Worry not, bug is logged!

There are defence structures in this game? I ony sas descriptions of mapower increasing and bunker like effects against bombardments

Though now that you mention it I did recall seeing a minor race that had a special combat effect agains invaders - would this be displayed the same way a planetary bombardment is displayed?

All these information should be available on the ground combat screen else how woudl you count for it or even recognise the mechanic in action - taking this over to Game Design
