Forum:Ideas on conquering planets quickly and decisively

Conquering Home worlds

Element of surprise
First of all, being quick and decisive in your attack is essential. You must never spend more than 20 seconds "sieging" a city. Using your Mega Pulse is your best option. Your Mega Bomb is quicker but it will destroy critical building around your City Hall. Taking out turrets is time-consuming and can damage your fleet.

Conquering Home Planets
My best advice is for you to be a Diplomat in Space Stage. If you use the Planet Buster or the Fanatical Frenzy you will be declared war on by some random empire, aggravating your status. Using the Diplomat's weapon, "Static Cling", your will be able to immobilize the planets defenses firing your Mega Pulse at Colony Halls as you go.

Conclusion
As I mentioned before you should never take too much time in your conquest. Quickness is the key
