Cannot invade Iconian planet due to free drones

April 11, 2016 6:37:11 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I am trying to invade an undefended Iconian planet. It spawns free drones to fight when it is attacked due to the Iconian "paranoid" ability. Attacking the planet with a fleet of warships and a transport I am easily able to defeat the drones. The problem is, I am not then presented with the screen to invade the planet with troops from the transport. I try attacking again the same turn but the drones have respawned and the same thing happens. Sending in the transport by itself results in a popup saying to attack with a fleet because the planet is defended. I am playing the 1.7 opt in patch.

It seems impossible to invade the planet at present. Has anyone else encountered this or know a solution?

I figured out to get around this you need to do a "quick battle" (not "view battle") and then invade with a transport. Something about viewing the battle causes the drones to instantly respawn. I guess this will be fixed in a patch before too long.

I've been having this in the Snathi Campaign against the terrans and nothing worked, so had to culture flip to get the planets.

Did you have this problem before or after the 1.7 patch?
