Annexing unoccupied planets

[julian509]

As seen on the stream a few times, you cant demand planets that you do not occupy with armies. This has worked out well for me and my just league friends, but when we inevitably strike back at the blorg menace with their 'friends', it'll harm us. Therefore we propose that unoccupied planets instead cost two or three times as much war score as occupied planets, and have to border the empire that demands them.

not sure that is necessary.....an empire may be willing to give up an unoccupied planet or two if their homeworld is about to get demolished.

I think that was because those planets were occupied by rebs, when they were fighting with the militarist xenophobic lizards they didn't even have to occupy their homeworld in order to annex them as a whole...

I agree.

I not only disagree but am puzzled. Pourquoi?

Ah, that explains it, the message it gave when they hovered over it was 'cant demand this planet as you do not occupy it' might've said 'they'. Can't find the specific part in the stream.
