How do you do that, Dragonlord?

How do you people decide if it's time for war? What has to happen that you choose to attack someone?

In my first PBW game, I maintained peaceful relations until I ran out of colonizable worlds in my claimed space. That game had Allied Scores turned on, so I knew that my two neighbors were in 1st and 3rd to my 4th. I decided to expel 3rd from a system that I had colonized first, and seize the two worlds he'd colonized.

In my second PBW game, I joined a partner's war against an AI that happened to claim most of the systems that still had colonizable planets available. In that case, I just poked at the AI until it declared war. Since then, I haven't been the one to declare war first, so I haven't had to make the decision.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
