I am playing in a kd where all my kd mates are much smaller than I am. The 2nd biggest attacker can hardy match 50% of my raw opa. That makes me a juicy target for suiciding Gnome and Orc. Sure enough I got hit by a suiciding Orc while I was having 80 mod dpa. He has something like 33 mod dpa left at home for 12 hours but no one in my kd are able to retaliate. They are simply too small at this point.
Now 1 kd is about to war us. They have 4 provinces smaller than me but capable of hitting me if they suicide, which will surely be the case if we entered into war! And I can only hit 1 of them at a time, nothing more. We are reluctant to war them, as they have both numbers and power. But I am face with a possible dilemma: if one of them suicide on my 2nd biggest province, I am the only one that can retal. If I do, they will chain me; if I do not, they will chain all other provinces.
I wish I can bring in outsiders in case they suicide, since we have no intention to war them at all yet they have no intention of accepting a CF: just simply making suicide attacks. My question is, where can I post or who can I call on since we are not part of any alliances? Should we go approach one alliance and be part of them just so they may watch our backs and make sure the other kd play fair? Which Alliance would you recommend? Any other solutions? Seriously, no individual kd/province can survive bullying anymore outside being part of an alliance? :/
