There is another thing to consider here.  An encounter order will only activate
if you SIGHT the target of the encounter order.  I used the encounter order to
try and get too attacks on a lair in one turn in NIC 1.  Luckily the second attack
did not come off as I did not spot the lair until my military order said, "Hey boys,
its over there!  Go hit it."  The second battle would have killed me.

You may thus want to think carefully about what target you put in the encounter
order.  Of course, if yo fight a town via an encounter order, you will not own it
even if you kill them all.  You do have to issue order 1, military, to actually
take possession.
