[v.1.5.1] It looks as if Militant Isolationists arbitrarily invaded without provocation (?)

[billcorr]

Militant Isolationists should send you a request to abandon the colony before they resort to a DOW.
If this didn't happen to you, consider making a bug report with a pre-war save to repro the issue.

Militant isolationists declared war without asking me to abandon a colony.

But, I'm new to Stellaris.

There may be other reasons why the Militant Isolationists attacked me.

E.g. I had a defensive pact with two other space empires. That system of pacts might have sucked me into a war?

Attached are two saves:

• before the DOW save
• an after the DOW save.

(Note: Stellaris' auto-save features are more than sophisticated than in any other game I've seen. A separate save game file for each Stellaris match. Great! I thought that the files had been over-written in the 2 games I've played since this one...but the save files were still there in their own folder. )

Hi @billcor thanks for the report. I'll be looking into the issue. Though I'll add in advance, it is possible for a Fallen Empire to declare war to humiliate someone if they are sufficiently angry. That usually requires you to insult them, either by diplomatic action or denying their demands.
