I know the AI can self-destruct a planet you're invading, but that's about it I think.

Do you mean actually turn a planet into dust or just kill all life on it?

That's the only mod I use...and I don't use a mod I just tweak the game files to make it so I can kill all the pops on the planet in a year of bombardment or so. Though there are mods for that I think. I mean the pre-space atomic races can turn their planet into a tomb world in a day, but with our advance science we are lucky to kill any population at all with orbital bombardments.

As for removing a planet from the map...I don't think that is possible. Though I haven't seen this AI self destruct thing happen.

Yeah. I invaded some minor empire and the leader self-destructed the planet so I couldn't have it. Might have been a mod. Not sure.
