What happens if you blow a planetary population down to 0? I've been trying to avoid doing this, but can anyone answer this question?

You can't get it that low. So don't worry about it. Just attack it till you can't anymore and invade.

actually you can, its just that after you get it to 10=< population it wont let you attack and you can invade. Getting a planet down to 0 pop just means that your going to have 10 less pop when you invade and it will take longer before others can have to go through you to invade.

I'm pretty sure it stops at one no matter how much damage you do to it. I just tested it and when the health was at 20 I did 20 damage and it stopped at 1 pop. So unless it is a glitch in my system I don't think you can hit zero pop. If you try it and you get to zero could you send me a pm with the screen shot so I can see. Not that it really matters in the long run I'm just interested now.

I will be very surprised if anyone is ever able to send such a screen shot to mojo311.

Thanks always for sharing tips and answers!
