The comps don't like me....

[HP Delron]

Does anybody know why the ALL of the comps declare war at me all at once, after a certain point. These are guys i have never done anything to, and have had a treaty with for a long time. And very shortly before they delcared war they were "Brotherly" And just a few turns later they ent to "Muderous" and delclared war all of them. and they were sending me Messages that made abouslotley no sense like "We won't sit still while the grothan portectorate gobbles up ever planet in site. WE MUST DECLARE WAR ON YOU!!!!". Is this some kind of bug, feature? I never did anything to these guys.

Oh well it is their loss, im usually so far ahead of them i could kill 7 of their ships with 1 of mine and still come out undamaged. So i blew them to smitereens. But still why do they declare war so suddenly?? IT seems to happen every game i play. I just stared a new game and want to know how to avoid this if possible.
