Takeover question

[Nova Fear]

Hello fellow RFTG players! I'm posting here because I tried to perform my first-ever takeover earlier today, but I could not seem to do so. I'm relatively new to RvI, so I was wondering if any more experienced players could help me debug why I was unable to takeover. (I've been referring to https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/424148 ... -rules-faq as my reference for takeover rules, and based on them I can't understand why the takeover didn't work.)

Here is all the relevant info, as far as I'm aware: takeovers were on, I had Imperium Seat and +3 military (with an additional +1 rebel military), and my opponent had Rebel Fuel Cache and -1 military. My opponent also had no takeover defense powers. I chose Settle and attempted to perform a takeover by clicking on my opponent's Rebel Fuel Cache, but nothing happened. (I also tried clicking on Imperium Seat first, but it just told me I had to select an opponent's world to takeover.)

Here is the game replay: https://boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=135275432. I attempted to perform this takeover on Move 50 (right after I had placed Imperium Seat), and later on Move 61 (just in case I wasn't allowed to takeover on the same round that I had placed Imperium Seat).

Based on the BGG rules, the only potential problem I can see is that my opponent had -1 military; do all takeovers require the opponent to have at least +1 military, like an Imperium Cloaking Technology takeover? Otherwise I'm at a loss. Was I supposed to do something else to takeover, besides clicking on the opponent's world? Would love to figure this out so that I can hopefully perform a takeover in the future.

Thanks!

Should be legal for imperium seat to take over any rebel world (same with rebel alliance for enemy imperium boards). To perform a takeover, you click on the card which has a takeover power (i.e. imperium seat), then you click on the card which you are trying to take over (Rebel Fuel Cache). Maybe you missed the step you need to click the takeover card first?

Should be legal the turn you placed Imperium Seat (develop phase), only not possible for an improved logistics action to take over the world your opponent just placed.

EDIT: saw your comment about clicking the Seat first, that's correct, if you get that text, the takeovers should be possible, so just click on the Rebel Fuel Cache after you get that prompt and it should work. You should see some prompt like: Attempting to take over Rebel Fuel Cache (defense 0 maximum 0 (if they didn't have any modifiers) with Imperium Seat (strength 3 maximum 3). Remember, ties go to the attacker.

Hope it helps!

Actually, I think you have to select the target world first, then click the card with the takeover power. Or maybe both way works, but you do need to click both the target world and the card with the TO power, that's for sure.
