Invasion screen not showing soldiers shooting at eachother

from GalCiv2 Forums

In the games tutorial "invasion" it shows soldiers shooting laser at each other from each side, but in the actuall game, the invasion screen just shows the flags of the planet and counts down troops that die. I had a look at the game interface settings but could find nothing that enables it, anyone else have probs or solutions to this, cheers

Troops shooting each other during planet invasions? That was ages ago. The tutorials must be out dated.

What happened was is that one animation screen was replaced with another. If memory serves me right, this change occurred during the release of the Twilight of the Arnor expansion. There should be no problems with this. The rules governing planetary invasion are the same as it was when the game was first released.

I suggest that you attack with fleets of invasion ships (Hopefully with more troops than what the target planet has). Have high soldering (higher than your opponents preferably). Use planet invasion tactics (be mindful of the ones that can cause the planet quality to drop).
