Let me simplify it for you... you are getting hit because:
1. You cannot retaliate in any way (or the attacker thinks you won't)
2. It is worth it for them to hit you (the math covers the 'why'). More on this, you can expect good players to produce at least $500/Acre and a 200acre (300total) grab with say 1000 turns left in the set will bring in $150,000,000 by the end of the set so it obviously covers jet losses and construction costs :-)
3. Keeping up in land is the only way to avoid future retals from players that the player already hit, think of it like downhill skiing... have to keep going. Grab until it is no longer mathematically worthwhile is the only strategy.
So to avoid getting hit you must:
1. Hit players that won't hit you back
2. Increase production (tech levels, building composition, land mass)
Game gets easier after a few sets if you think about what you are doing, lol.
