Can you force resettle pops to occupied planets

[TerrBear]

Just wondering if during a war you can force settle your pops onto occupied territory? Or is the tile system for a planet effectively blocked during occupation as you could also destroy all the tile improvements too, leaving the planet starving and rebellious when it gets handed back to the owner (i'm talking about planets you don't intend on conquering in this war).

I think migrating your pops during war would be interesting as it lowers the price of claiming those planets in the next war plus potentially fragmenting an empire from the inside, but would leave the defender in the awkward position of having to purge the xenos (giving the attacker more justification to attack again) or integrating the races.

so yeah i don't know if this would be an interesting feature or an exploit.

i'm pretty sure this is not possible, since this would be a huge exploit

I would guess no. Otherwise you could war somebody for "one" planet, but while you're at it, occupy all their planets, purge all of their pops, destroy all of the buildings and then populate them all with your own species who all rebel the instant you make peace. It would be lame.

I'd rather be able to relocate alien species to my planets, so I can use them for colonization.

I'd also say no... during a war. As in capturing provinces in EU4, a successful planetary invasion simply allows you to occupy an enemy's colony. You don't own it until formally handed over in a peace deal. As a result, the forced migration mechanic wouldn't work... as you can't force your pops to move to a colony you don't own... at least that is my guess of how this scenario would play out.

Not sure, I don't think you should be able to do so unless there is a option available to simply kick out a species and send them to their home empire, in case you win the war. I think it would be fun if you could actually abduct pops from enemy and primitive planets without having to conquer them, although with a relationship penalty with the empires you're at war with
