Conquered Colonies

From Guide

After you've conquered a colony, you'll receive taxation from that colony during the period that it remains a conquer. The taxation is 10% of what the conquered colony earns per tick. Those resources will go to you and the taxation rate is fixed. The amount of tribute paid to you can be found in the game under the Colony Management screen, the Colony tab. See Taxation, Tribute & Rebellion for more details.

You can't control the conquered colony as in the construction and military operations. So he/she can still send out squads to attack and construct new buildings. Conquered colonies will lose any crystals they have.

Conquering

Conquering a colony occurs whenever a battle at a colony results in the owner of a colony losing but only if the colony was originally not conquered by anyone.

When you conquer a colony your squads return back to where they were sent from (e.g. your colony). Colonies can not be conquered if they have already been conquered by you or someone else or you are conquered yourself. The only exception to this is when you attack your conquerer, you can conquer your conquerer ONLY when you are already conquered, and doing so will liberate any conquered colonies by your conquerer.

Sending squads to attack colonies that have already been conquered is a waste of time. Doing so is often seen as 'farming' and isn't treated welcomly.

TIP: Conquering your conquerer;

If you are conquered, and your conquerer is close by, and someone in your conquerer's alliance is beside your conquerer, send an infantry unit (The most basic infantry unit.) towards each of their outposts with no units in it, conquering their outposts, (It's all right is they re-conquer their own outposts, that's the point of this trick.) and this will draw away (likely) every unit they have AWAY from their colonies.

Then, attack the other guy with that 1 infantry unit at the SAME time as you attack your conquerer all-out with as much units as YOU can make. (Make sure to jam BOTH of their radar's first!) As this is happening, the SAME tick you sent both of the squads out, (Send them out on the same tick, so that they arrive, more or less, at the same time.) RELOCATE your colony a long way away from your conquerer. This will occupy your conquerer (Soon to be conquered by you.) while you are being liberated by the re-location.

Also, they wont know where you are, and in the 3+ ticks it takes to conquer your conquerer, while you have relocated and are still rebelling, you will be auto-rebelled by the conquering of your conquerer.

It helps a lot, but, the only side effect is that this will confuse the game for the 24 tick rebellion period: the Red Counter will still go down, it wont disappear until it reaches zero, even though you are already liberated fully. However, you will ONLY receive the taxed resources from your conquerer until the Red Counter reaches zero, even though you're not supposed to receive ANY resources when "rebelling".

Liberating

You can also liberate the colony if you want to. Liberating a colony release them from your control. When you release the colony from your control you will no longer receive tribute from them.

Force Relocation

You can also force relocate a conquered colony to an outpost owned by yourself, but you must have:

• Control that colony for 48 ticks
• Controlled the outpost of your own for 24 ticks.

Also the colony must within 24 tick radius of you colony and you cannot force relocate them if they are rebelling. Force relocating a colony will cause him/her to lose half their oil but release them from your control so you won't gain resources from their taxation any more. Their original colony location will turn into an outpost.

There are various reasons why you would want to relocate a colony under your control.

• To cause them to lose half of their oil.
• To move them to a position away from you so that you do not have to deal with them if they are a threat to your colony, or if they are simply a pest.
• To bring them to a position near an area in which you have placed military units. This way you will be able to easily conquer the colony again and keep them under your control when they attempt to rebel. This way you can ensure that you will receive tribute from them.

To force relocate a colony, simply click on the colony you wish to force relocate and then click the dove icon (shown above). This will give you a choice to either liberate the colony in question or force relocate it.
