  • wth? how did this war happen?

    I was planning on playing a game where I avoided provoking wars as much as possible and would attempt to win the galactic popularity contest. However, at turn 28 one turn after agreeing to a defensive alliance with me, a nommo empire which was at war with a grendarl empire I was also at war with and at peace with all other factions abruptly announced it was at war with me! WTH? I had given them gifts, I was not crowding them in, I was at war with their enemy and I was on rough parity with them for military strength. Why in gods name would they go to war with me? what could I possibly have done wrong?

    the save game is here along with 3 earlier autosaves. turn 28 is the turn at which my would be allies decided to wage war on me.

    Edit:

    Here's a much later save at turn 87

    At this point my low cb 'allies' have decided to pick a fight with the NO's and are inviting me to join them, but with shields at only class 2 it's looking as if it's going to be harder than ever to retain my alliances.

    From my observations a race may declare war on you just because u have become much bigger then they are ...
    Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.

      also I've found something interesting. how many NAPs did you have? In my latest game I am 3x the size of the next closest empire(in addition, I just took down Orion), but am only at war with 2 people for CB reasons because(I suspect) I have been refusing NAPs left and right.
