How much hp does population have?

In stock, population structure is 5 and in the Balance Mod it's 10. However, the Population Amount Killed Per Damage Point values in DamageTypes.txt is what really determines how fast the population is killed. In stock it works out that 4 damage kills 1M and in the Balance Mod it's 20 points to kill 1M. Anything less than the damage to kill 1M population is ignored.

Are you saying population has emissive 20?

No? Partial damage to population is not stored. Either full 1M pop unit is killed, or none at all.

That sounds like the same as saying population has emissive 20.

It isn't. Pop with emissive 20 would mean 0 pop die with 1 to 19 damage, 20 pop would die with a 20 damage shot, 100 pop would die with a 100 damage shot, and so on.

Emissive was fixed from that lame scheme in the mid beta, Fy.

If it were 20 emissive points, there would be no losses from 1-20 damage, then losses = damage-20 above that.
