How to Invade a Parcel of Land |
 If you wish to try to capture a parcel of
land and prefer not to use diplomatic means (ie. purchasing the land if it is
for sale), then you may try to invade the land and capture it by force.
You may not invade land that is State-Owned or land that is owned by another
colony that is not currently logged in. You may always invade neutral
land.To invade a parcel of
land, be sure you have enough settlers in your expedition to be successful.
You normally do not know how many settlers the defender has on the parcel, so
you are taking a bit of a gamble when attacking. Most parcels are allowed
to have up to 20 defenders, but many parcels have fewer and others have more.
If you need suggestions on how to obtain more settlers, see the topic When you are ready to begin the
invasion, move your expedition next to the parcel you wish to invade and right
click on the parcel. Click on the INVADE button. Immediately, begin
watching the progress of the battle on the left side of the screen. It
will look something like this: |

How to Reinforce Your Parcels |
 After invading a parcel of land and
capturing it, it is important that you reinforce the parcel to prevent other
colonies from taking it over without a fight. This means putting settlers
on the parcel to reside there and defend it that parcel is ever attacked.
To reinforce a parcel you own, simply walk up to the parcel with an expedition
and right click on it and choose REINFORCE. It will ask how many settlers
you want to move onto the parcel. Each parcel has a maximum capacity that
it can hold (20 is typical). Specify how many you want and the settlers
will be moved out of your expedition and placed on the parcel. |

How To Form an Expedition |
|
In order to form a new expedition, you must right click on a parcel of land that you own that has at least 1 settler and choose the FORM EXPEDITION option. You can then choose how many of the settlers on the parcel you wish to remove from the parcel and place into the new expedition. There are 2 limitations to forming expeditions: 1) You cannot form an expedition on a parcel that cannot be walked on (such as in the water or on top of a tree)

How To Split an Expedition |
|
|
In order to move
settlers from one parcel to another, you must form an expedition. When you
first start a new colony, you are given 1 expedition with 1 settler in it.
As your colony grows, your expedition may occasionally get killed. As long
as you still have at least 1 settler left on any parcel of land that you own,
you can simply form a new expedition.
2) You cannot form an
expedition if your colony has other expeditions and cannot support an additional
one. To determine how many expeditions you currently have and how many you
can have, click on the STATISTICS button
If you form an expedition
on any parcel adjacent to a fort you own, the settlers that form the new
expedition will be taken from the pool of new colonists that wish to join your
colony at the fort. If your fort does not have enough colonists that wish
to join your colony, then the settlers will be taken from the actual parcel you
are forming the expedition on instead.
You can re-center
your visible area on any expedition or parcel of land that you own. Simply
use the mouse and DOUBLE RIGHT-CLICK on the location you wish to center on.
The location you are currently centered on will always be highlighted with white
marks so you do not accidentally get confused and think you are centered on
something else. Another way to re-center your view is to right click on
any parcel or expedition that you own and hit the button that says CENTER VIEW.
