Before anyone asks the question: Then why attack? The answer is: I win by taking this game long and grinding players down, but I still need to have more land. If OH took Lewwyns land then he could conceivably get a third of the map after he takes superdeath at frigates, and I can't compete with that. Gav can have the same by heading to the north pole via superjm. I have no way south or west except through OH, so I will have to come into conflict with either OH or Gav at some point. And right now is when I'm going to be at the strongest compared to OH, where the tech deficit of Astro doesn't matter and I'm up Guilds and a production edge. Sitting back and letting other players grow into captured land is never the right decision, unless you have a specific plan of reaching an immediate tech edge and using that the take stuff from them.
