I see both points. It seems to favor top kingdoms with more players and more coordination, and diminishes the achievements of smaller kingdoms. Top wars are not easy, but they are also usually with pump and CF involvement, whereas lower tier wars are usually more messy, less ability to pump (thanks to top kingdoms bottom feeding usually) and they aren't really able to grow like a top kingdom. I'm not sure what to think about this rule yet, but we'll have to watch and see. Top kingdoms shouldn't be penalized for doing well, but neither should lower tier kingdoms (for also doing well, ie winning wars).
