If you are not UB and their KD have decided to take you down they will hit you. Not much you can do about it. As an attacker that is not UB you will both gain and loose alot of acres. If you get chained its very important that you keep activity high so you can army in/out and look out for your pezzies.

You claimed you had grown alot in start of war. Did they leave you alone so you got fat and are now regaining the acres? Is the war mostly decided?
