I'm quoting you here to point out the arguments you make against yourself. I hope you can read this and understand that.

The limiting factor in getting wars is nothing more than who you ally with and who wins them. Rage, Sanc and Mercy have been winning wars this whole age. Kingdoms who win wars grow, kingdoms who lose wars shrink. This is how the game works. What's limited us in wars has simply been that we've won them, or at least lost very closely so we weren't set back. We took about 30% of Insolence's acres in our fight, came out even in our fight vs Pulse and took 25% of Psych Ward's acres in that fight. The kingdoms we beat lost signficantly and winning pushed us further away from smaller kingdoms. We've actually been very judicious in our CFs, only going with the "NAP EVERYONE!!!" play once we were out of war range of basically everyone, and it strategically made no sense to fight anymore. The only other CF we gave without a real fight was BIO, who we CFed when we went after Insolence and haven't been in range for a real fight with in over a month.
Pulse is about to war a 4th time. You a third. But pulse had a few war wins earlyier in age rather then dicing and imo they warred three good kingdoms where as you had 1 serious war and farmed one ghetto. So I think pulse likely had to spend more time preparing etc. Anyway I guestimated they spent about hald the age in war mode. Probably 10% of it randoming. so imo thats a good spread of the age.
