Taken from Grepolis. You win the battle, seige but may not take the planet


Preparations to conquer

There are a number of preparations which you will need to take before the actual process of conquest begins.
Claiming a planet

Clearing – unless the planet is inactive then it is likely that you will face defence from its current owner. Therefore it is necessary to send waves of clearing offensive before you begin your conquest attempt to make sure that you will be successful, it is advisable to send a spy beforehand to see what troops you will need to kill.

Before conquering a planet, you will need to clear it (kill all of the troops occupying the planet). In order to do this, you should follow these steps:

Spy on the city to find out how much resistance you will meet.

Attack the city with appropriate forces to destroy all of the troops in the city
If necessary, ask your alliances mates for help.

Building a Barque Ship

You must build a Barque ship to conquer a Planet, this might take some time because you need to collect up X of each resource and then wait around 12 hours to build it, so make sure you have built it before continuing onwards.
The conquering process

Now for the most important information on this page, how the actual process works. It is quite simply in reality; send an attack, accompanied by a barque ship, to another planet and if is successful a siege will start. In this siege period, 24 hours , the attacker is attempting to protect the barque ship while the defender is trying to destroy it. If the attacker manages to hold the siege and protect his barque ship for the allotted time then he conquers the planet.
Here is the order of events:

Spy the planet again just to be sure that you can handle and support that may have arrived.
Send an few attacks which are meant to make sure that all the troops of the planet are cleared
Time a Barque ship to land a few seconds after the clearing attacks, this might mean sending the barque ship before you even send off the clearing attacks.
Time a lot of support waves of defensive troops to arrive right after your barque lands

Again, it is a good idea to talk to your alliance mates. Get them to help both in the clearing and in the support.


During the conquer

Assuming that you successfully land your barque Ship on the enemy planet, you then move onto the second part of conquering a city. A 24 hours timer now starts, if your barque is still on the planet after that time, the planet is yours. This is why it is important that you send support right after the barque. Some people can you land your barque only to destroy it straight after it lands. So, you want your alliance mates to attack the planet before your barque lands and to support it after your barque lands.
