Anyone find the fact that his team heavily outnumbers the force attacking his base rather hilarious?

Not really. Many, many times I've signed in to see most of the Rooks fighting a handful of Bishops (or Knights), and most of the Bishops (or Knights) at the other end of their territory fighting whichever is the third country instead of the majority of the Rooks attacking them, while most of the players for the 3rd county are at the lightly defended Rook end of their territory - essentially 3 hordes mostly avoiding each other each at opposite ends of their territories, and a significantly smaller portion of each side's forces throwing up a defense against overwhelming odds against the enemy horde.
So it's not that uncommon if you are one of those players who go to the opposite side of the map from the huge green bar to find that over the course of the night ENY will kick in and yet your badly outnumbered.
In a perfect world ENY would be limited in some fashion to reflect the local situation, but I haven't yet come up with a way to program it where the logic doesn't dead end in a paradox of some sort (like, what happens when someone drops the hangers and the local enemy can no longer lift?).
