[quote=Pepperm1nts] No one's in the chat so rather than use a PM, I'll ask here.If one were to attack an NPC with the ultimate goal of colonizing them, would it be done through a normal order, or a war order? I know NF's can't be used to take a colony, but I'm not completely sure about the kind of order used for it. Common sense tells me it's a war order, but I rather be sure. [/quote] I used a normal update order to acquire the Ashanti Protectorate.
