Since I have come back, the following strategies are very common:
- Waving kingdoms quite a bit smaller expecting war
- Tagging hostile and hitting out of hostile
- Tagging hostile for an unlimited amount of time
- Abusing game mechanics and then taking moral highground
I monarched 10+ ages and it used to happen occasionally (and you would make them pay for it). Now its every second kingdom.
Even Pyros hitting out of hostile.... thought this kingdom was alright.
Its just a game peeps. Crowning these days isnt even an achievement as there is no competition.
