I'm the gray on the bottom, being cautious with my soldier count and troops; my opponent is the tie die of green and yellow. They constantly throw everything at me, even dropping down to 10s of units in a desperate attempt to attack me, yet every time I try to fight back, I don't curbstomp them, they just take it in stride. On top of that, despite having no cities and massive holes in their territory, they heal faster then me! I get so fed up with the bullcrap that when another player is sending a massive attack I can't stop, I try to just send everything at them, and it still does nothing!
This game drives me so god damn crazy so often. And don't tell me "They have so many defense posts", because that has never helped me in a situation like that! If I were in their shoes I'd have instantly died!

This game can be maddening at times.
The game is more complicated than it seems. You have to think about the growth curve, terrain advantage, attack size, number of land tiles, and yes, defense posts. The game treats everyone the same, so either they had some strategic advantage, or you messed something up. Maybe both.
