How do I heal my units?
Your units will repair themselves if they are parked on your colony. Every unit has health points, you can see them if you click the military tab. They are the little green blocks left of the picture of your unit. If your unit is damaged, every tick the colony will repair one health point.
Also, when units engage in battle and destroy other units, they will gain 1 health point for every unit they destroyed. This means that your units will be able to endure more and will actually gain strength.
Why can't I conquer someone?
You CANNOT conquer a colony that is already conquered by someone else or when you are conquered yourself. However you CAN steal crystals, fight his units and kill workers and you can free yourself by attacking your conquerer. See Conquered Colonies for more details.
