Hey guys. First of all if this is the wrong part of the forum, kindly direct me to the right place. My continuing excuse is that I started playing yesterday and am very new to this. I started playing on one of the archipelago maps in singleplayer, and found an island. However, I could not colonize it. I also tried looking in the gameplay tutorial, but nothing was there. How would I proceed to colonize or just set a soldier or two on an island? Thanks.
