| The "attack" and "invasion" orders are functionally the same, except that during invasions transports will attempt to land ground units and begin ground combat after space combat has mostly finished (usually because most or all defending ships and planetary defense units have been destroyed). Transports can be manually forced to land at any time by selecting them in the combat visualizer and ordering them to land; this can turn an attack into an invasion. | The "attack" and "invasion" orders are functionally the same, except that during invasions transports will attempt to land ground units and begin ground combat after space combat has mostly finished.

| [[anacreon:game:units#ground_units|Ground units]] are the only units that take part in the ground combat stage of an invasion; ships do not participate. Ground combat is more straightforward than space combat; it does not have a designated visualization, and the stronger force usually wins. More advanced ground unit types can win against slightly stronger forces of less advanced types. If the invading force wins, it [[anacreon:game:conquest|conquers]] the planet. | [[anacreon:game:units#ground_units|Ground units]] are the only units that take part in the ground combat stage of an invasion; ships do not participate.
