I cant vote here. If this game was so easy that major strategy decisions could made simply by PRT it was uninteresting.

There are lots of different reasons and considerations why and if to attack someone early. Only some of these are connected to race design and some are not. Most obvious:

a) It is weak early and so it is easy to kill it in a profitable way. Its possible to find some companions into a profitable war. In that category the winners usually are SS, PP, AR and HE. Also most HP-style designs.

b) It may get quite painful to fight it when it starts to fight us in later stages and so noone objects if we kill it now. In that category the winners are WM, SS and SD. Also IS if you are SS.

c) Its economy (minerals and/or resources) will probably grow out of hand in later stages and so most agreee its safer to kill it early. In that category the winners are AR, CA and HE. Also most HP-style rasses.

d) There is race is in corner and looks quite agressive so it will search ways out of it to win. You are one of two his neighbours. So join him against the other of his neighbours since cornered rat makes firce ally. Wink

e) This race has same PRT (with useful toys) as you. So why you need other SS, SD, IS or CA into the game? Right, kill it.

f) This race has almost exactly same hab as you. All his planets look nice greens to you. You can not make any joint military operations with it without dispute about who gets what. Sure, kill it and take these good planets.

g) This race is in war on another front. Can it hold its own if you too join the slugfest? Rarely. So why not to go and try it out.

h) This guy misses turns and plays quite lousily. Also his ship designs are inefficent. Why to wait unil he drops out? Lets show the good sides of that wonderful game to him. Wink

Oh and i can go on and on here....
