![]() ![]() All of your troops that cannot attack during an invasion round will still remain in the system as reinforcements and will replace any troops lost this round when you attack next turn. Any manpower beyond that are considered “reinforcements.” Your fleets will drop ALL of their manpower on a system when you invade, even if such numbers go far beyond the per-round maximum amount of attacking manpower allowed. One more thing to mention is that, as mentioned below, only so much manpower can attack at once in an invasion. Keep in mind that if your ships do not return by the end of the invasion those ships will have little or no manpower. In effect, if you know you’re going to win an invasion in a landslide and wish to divert your ships elsewhere for combat purposes, you can drop off your troops to invade a planet and then attack fleets in another system. If you win the invasion and you have no ships in the system, your troops will be moved into empire reserve, which can potentially waste a lot of liquid manpower if your empire reserves are at or near capacity, as well as wasting time since filling ships with manpower takes several turns (unless they’re returning from an invasion). You can move ships into the system at any time (ones that have low or no manpower, so they have space) and retreat your troops after the invasion round for that turn is over, if you wish. If your ships leave the system, your forces will remain on those planets until the invasion completes either successfully or you are defeated. When you invade a system, the entire manpower force of your fleet(s) in that system are deployed to the planet(s). What happens if you invade and then your ships leave the system or are otherwise gone? What are reinforcements? You may lose some soldiers but the ones you don’t board back onto your ships after the invasions is over. It is strongly advised that, before you invade, you keep your fleet in orbit to wear down the defending manpower of the system. Invasions are performed by entering an enemy system with ships that have manpower aboard. If your reserves are empty and you’re only generating 20 manpower per turn, your ship will only increase its manpower by 20 per turn, which can take forever on a full fleet. It takes the manpower from your reserves, it doesn’t matter what system you orbit as long as you control it. Manpower is replenished on fleets by having ships in orbit in one of your controlled systems. There are plenty of upgrades that allow you to increase maximum manpower in reserve, the strength of invading forces, the strength of defending forces, and other things. ![]() ![]() Manpower on planets is used to defend against invasions. Manpower on ships is used to invade a system. You use manpower, on occasion, to pay for certain things, but that is the exception to the rule. There is no way to load or offload manpower onto or off of ships, and there is no way to move manpower from one place to the other in your empire. Manpower automatically is assigned to ships first, then planets. Manpower is used to staff your ships, your planets, and when those two things are full, it goes into your reserve (viewed by the fleets button). You can also use that same screen to upgrade your armies by paying with strategic resources and reserve manpower. That screen also allows you to change the composition of your armies (footsoldiers, armor and air) by clicking on the button on the right, once you unlock armor and air forces. You can view it by clicking on the fleets button. Manpower is a resource of your empire that represents the number of military people you have. This guide is here just to explain the basics of manpower, in case anyone doesn’t fully get it yet. How did invasions work? How do I replenish manpower on fleets? How do I do it on planets, even? Manpower “regen” amount is way too low, I’m barely scraping enough together, how do I increase that? Manpower was, more than anything, one of the most confusing things about the game I needed to figure out for myself, because the tutorial didn’t explain much. To date, few have covered in as much detail the mechanics and workings of manpower which seemingly goes mostly unexplained. This guide is a reposting of a thread I made almost a year ago. What happens if you invade and then your ships leave the system or are otherwise gone?.
