No wonder no one plays this game anymore

With all the respect in the world Bishop, but:

Criticism is part of the game. You should also be able to deal with it properly. Doesn' t matter if someone spends his free time and own money on it. If a game has flaws, the developers should be thankful we openly tell them.

Now you may or may not agree with ahurazor, fact is that how the game currently works bigger kingdoms can easily feed on smaller ones with provinces in their range. Now it' s up to the developers to change this or not. Personally I feel this is just how it works. Bigger ones pick on smaller ones, this is life. You could make it a little bit more difficult by adding somewhat of a penalty related to KD size, but I wonder of that would do the game any good.

I agree with others that there is a lot you could do to make yourself less attractive to get attacked. Everybody should stay in the same range. Don't pile up resources. Join a bigger, more organized kingdom. Or if you are desperate, join an alliance.

There are already penalties for the bigger kingdoms, that's what we've been trying to explain.... Every advantage is already on the side of the smaller guy in a 1 on 1 retal war, you will outgain the bigger guy every single time because the mechanics already address hitting down. If you are able to retal you should, most big kingdoms will move on to easier targets, it's that simple. If the OP doesn't want to listen to people who have been there and done that, then he really shouldn't even bother posting. That's why Bishop and the others gets frustrated.
