Elit,
I think you kinda dodged the question. To find a time you gave free land, you had to go years back with a different kingdom in a completely different type of situation. I think that if you were in such a situation as this, you would do everything you could to make it as painful as possible for the kingdom bullying you, not happily give them free land and be on your way.
When you give out free land too easily, then everyone wants some. It's like paying ransoms to terrorists who kidnap people. Doing so only encourages them to continue kidnapping more of your people. Don't get me wrong, I understand why a shark wants his food to think it's the right choice to happily get eaten, but you and I would both try and make the shark choke while eating us.
As for your max gains story, that also was a different situation. The war win bonus was implemented primarily to combat situations where a kingdom max gained all war for minimum time to wd up acres overall. There was an age winner (not to name names) that I believe went 0/4 in wars but won the age by having Avians and withdrawing minimum time up land. From what I saw with jerks, their last wave was actually pretty poor and they didn't gain any more than their previous waves and you out gained them every wave including the last.
