Cleanse Planet

[IITonicII]

About the wargoal "Cleanse Planet", the wiki says :

"This option streamlines the process of ceding a Planet and purging the population into a single wargoal that is instantly executed once the war ends. It costs the same warscore as ceding and also incurs the full purging related diplomacy Penalty for every pop purged."

But if all the population is purged, the planet become uninhabited so how can it be ceded at the same time ?

Thanks

First ceded and purged after, becomes uninhabited, without loss of time. Thats it

Yeah, that is what I meant when I wrote it.

Note that "normal" purge also takes 2 years to finish. So you save a whopping 2 years over ceded -> manual purge. Of course with 1.5 and the purge rework that is likely to change.

Standard Operating Proceedure for what is basically a "Fanatical Purifier" xenophobe playthrough is to conquer planets, then purge out of existence them because your species can't live on them.

Ok so someone else (or even the defeated empire) just can re-colonize the purged planet again after that ?

 

[laptor]

Yes

Meh... I guess i have to prepare my colonization ships then.

Thanks for the answers.

in specific situations, like the cleanse planet(s) are close/next to your borders, and after cleans there is nothing left for pushing the enemy border range, than probably your own border push out enough to bring it into your influence zone (or into someone else border, be carefull) just try it out and you will see what i mean, maybe its not entirely important to have a colo ship ready, i usually do it that way and terraform it into something usefull first

Look on the bright side: You can terraform the planet after the cleanse. So you can optimize the habitability.

I just look at is as the native population evacuated the planet to avoid being exterminated by the new occupants/conquerors.

The thing about cleanse planet, is that even if your goal is to create a planet entirely populated by loyalists for energy/science/rp'ing purposes, it only takes 2 years to purge, it takes decades to build up all of the buildings to what they were pre-cleanse. I feel that if you have any plan to use the planet it's far more efficient to resettle a loyalist, and purge everyone else, or build a droid, and then purge.

In the end though it's usually best to just take everything, especially if you're fanatic individualist or an empire that outlaws purge, slavery, and allows xeno leaders so the pops aren't just restricted to slavery.

The existence of the purge penalty on Diplomacy does not fit that.
Plus only 1.5 will add a refugee system.

Whoever said cleansing was destroying the buildings?

A planets buildings can continue to exist, long after the pops have gone. The average unbidden crisis is ample evidence for that.

Ermm... I am pretty sure it does... you're left with an empty planet... The only exception I noticed is when you conquer a AE during war in heaven (I think using the "Total Victory" - or similar - as a war goal), so when you win they wipe out. The advanced buildings on the conquered AE home planets remain even if there is no pop on them...

EDIT: Another scenario might be the one you mentioned, with the crisis, but I have not experienced it yet...

The game?

Pre-cleanse

Post-cleanse
