uuuuuuuugh. I do not understand war in this game. I declared war on a tiny one-planet civilization bordering me, with the war goal thing of making them my vassals.
My fleet arrives in their system, destroys their spaceport, and then I immediately get a message like "alright, you win." My fleet automatically leaves their system, and I can't declare war again for some time limit. I've tried like 5 times. What am I doing wrong? How can I check my war goal things after the war begins?
Alright so I guess I missed a war status button I need to select. I'd like to try, but this game takes a billion years to start up so maybe later.
