0 people can't produce more people, that's how it's always worked! :]
The guy has 15 TIMES the number of planets you do, more than the next five people under him COMBINED. There's NO WAY he can keep track of all of that. Welcome to the fall of Rome!
Hmm, so, when you take a planet that has had its population reduced to 0 you actually have to send an arc to the planet or scrap some ships there for populations to grow?
Also, bit daunting to realize I've probably taken 100-200 planets from Hierulf, but he hasn't even noticed it much
