Why is the game weighted so heavily to larger attackers? + Morale complaint

Take an offense, comprising roughly 24,500 general infantry attack, and 63,500 general cavalry attack, why does a defense of 40,200 general infantry defense, and 35,000 cavalry defense, behind a level 15 wall, fail to inflict more than 40% infantry casualties, and 28% cavalry casualties? Why does a defense, admittedly 13,000 defense points overall, but a whopping 15,000 defense points ahead, hardly dent the infantry offense?

Finally, why in the ever-loving hell does a 3.3k attacker attack a 1k defender with 100% morale?

There's literally zero reason to join a world late when mechanics are so heavily weighted against a small defender. Why spend days dodging and building, when an attack barely bigger than yours wipes you with only ~35% losses?
