So what you are suggesting is that in your experience you were already able to effectively deal with a bigger kingdom hitting you aren't you? You hold the button and hit for better gains topfeeding?

The suggestion I made in my thread was to make it much easier to war people in range but very hard to get the button on smaller kingdoms. Aggressor kingdoms shouldn't be getting the protection, if they feel they can fight someone bigger then the game doesn't need an arbitrary rule to protect them.

It seems you are taking issue with bigger kingdoms bullying you out of war rather than really taking an issue with the ability to war someone who is smaller and outfitting you. Is it really asinine to protect the integrity of the top race if it doesn't seriously hurt the rest of the server?

Us being number 1 is because we did very well against in range competition, I don't see it as okay that we can dominate those in range yet have been forced to eat three waves from smaller kingdoms because it would have cost so much to fight. That's a problem, it's not necessarily the new range restriction on war but due to how strong dicing is. Dicing is a boring growth mechanism. I'd far rather the kingdom that was able to do the best in conflicts won rather than the kingdom that did the best job avoiding fights.
