Razing is to remove all improvements and population, and have it return at turn-zero stage.

If you want to terraform into barren, there's the tech for that already.

Works for me.

But game-play wise, if you can do this you have already won and so doing so is a moot point.



They are pointless.

At this time you are correct. I hope that in the future, that won't be the case. I hope the tech tree is fleshed that that in a normal condition game, you haven't researched all the tech by turn 300 and there are constantly super weapons and the like in development. I'm getting to the point that I do not play full games anymore. I try to win as fast as possible while testing various build orders and techniques. I'm about to move to MP pretty soon.

Actually you cannot turn a planet from a lower (betteR) tier to a higher (worse) tier. So many times i've wanted to turn those arids into lava's

IMHO it should be about wiping enemy not destroying planets. Its pointless. We should have chooice after siege enemy planet - raze, take or plunder (which one gives U money from buildings and inf and for enemy penalty for some turns).

Razing your own colony give you penalty like others wrote (non to outpost).



Making weapon able to destroy planets give you a lots of enemies everywhere including your empire.

Have you played Armada 2526 by chance? It has almost the same options.
