Your population growth depends on your population size, so you have to not over expand at the beginning.
Get allies at the beginning so that you may aggressively conquer bots without worrying about being conquered. Those ally may cross you, but they'll have a penalty so they are disincentive to do so.
It is amount of population and how much room is left so you want to continuously kill off soldiers to have a good growth/conquer ratio.
The speed of capturing depends on the ratio of soldiers attacking/defending. It appears to be better to accumulate extra soldiers and then do a big push
