the reason why the nation of Ashod decided that it was time to go to war is because of one simple reason, with no access to any other route of expansion, and seeing what had happened to the nations around you, the council came to a very simple conclusion, either we launch a war now and hope for the best, or die slowly as we watch the game go by while we sit on the sidelines. So we launched our armies, and prepared for what was to come. Though it was a failed attempt, it is better to die fighting, then to die in bed.
