Well, the funny thing is that I met the first two empires and established trade with them. Did all treaties except allied with them. Never built a warship. Just colonized & developed. After awhile, they declared war on me! I didn't have a warship to my name when they declared war! It seems like they should have been honored to be in my presence
They HAD to be scoring mega research & resources on the trade treaty...
