DIFFERENT TYPES OF ATTACK TYPE
 
There are currently three types of attack, shown below:-
 
Normal
This is a typical and normal attack, a means of expanding the colonies under your rule.
If you win, you will take over 1-3 colonies.
 
Counter-Attack
Counter-attack is done automatically when you launch a normal attack against someone who has attacked you in the last 7 days. You are allowed to attack someone much weaker than you if you are performing a counter-attack.
 
Enslave
Performing this would allow you to enslave an empire. You will not take over any colonies but rather the entire empire. The protector of this empire you are attacking may send help to defend against your attack. Slave empires automatically pay 15% tribute to their protector.
