If you don't want to get razekilled, then why not pump? Because pumping is boring? Then don't pump. If you can have both war and pump science at the same time, what's the point of having science then? Everyone will be the same ~more or less. Current science system gives your kingdom a chance to decide. Decide to pump, or not to pump. Furthermore, science does not dictate war win or not. If a kingdom at a reasonable size with higher science than your kd start to pick a fight, why not just retal with learn attacks? If a kingdom wants to razekill you, they will razekill you with or without science, it has nothing to do with your science. If they are stronger than your kingdom because they pump more, than they deserve it because well, they sacrifices "war fun" for it. I assume your kingdom is not as strong because you choose to war more, so then deal with it. That is called "tradeoff", you can't have both.
