ground troops

[Makhil]

Orbital battle between spaceships is nice, but what I'd like to see is landing ships and invasion troops.
That would require:
- a new construction: barracks to produce and station troops
- a transport ship (or 2) to land or drop the soldiers

What would troops do:
They would fight each other for the control of buildings. If the attacker control buildings, their production/benefit goes to his home planet, until enough troops can defeat him.

How does the ground battle work:
Could be very simple: each tick troops are lost on both sides depending on ratio and races bonus, population settings... each camp has the option to withdraw, if 1side loses half its initial number, it is routed. The number of invaders determine the number of buildings they can control (buildings would be chosen randomly).
