If a civilization wanted to spread its reach, interstellar travel and conquer is the worst possible way.
We're highly optimized for life on earth, and can assume alien life would be the same for their home planet.
Evolution from simple life I think would be the easiest way to colonize. It would take a while but the life that develops would be optimal for that planet's conditions without any terra-forming
