Nations
What military strength do I need to buy a colony, and does it matter afterwards?
The rulebook's colony section sets the requirement at purchase only, and posts confirm the reading.

You need at least the colony's military strength on your own track when you buy it. You can raise it by adding workers to a military card, and the strength counts at once, so you can buy the colony the same round. Only the colony you are buying is checked, and a colony you already own stops mattering once it is bought.
