OK, so we understand that you do not need to put a ghost city into Revolt and should land your CS as a normal attack.
How many accompanying troops do you need to send, however? In other words, will a ghost city defend itself or is it OK to just send the CS? (I conquered a ghost city, but I sent a ton of troops (200+ swords, e.g.) with it thinking they would be left behind as support - they weren't. They were all wiped out. I got the city, but think I overspent in troops for it.
The number/type of troops in a ghost city will depend on what the previous owner had there when it became a ghost city, and whether or not other players have sent support there. Ghost cities have no owner, but that is not always a guarantee that there are no troops there. Just like any other city, it is worth getting a spy report and clearing the city prior to landing your colony ship - to ensure the safety and success of your conquest.
