Whether its single player or multi-player I would have to disagree. Because if a major attack fails it could easily cause one of your nearby neighbors to see you as freshly wounded meat. And especially in multiplayer where gamers usually join forces against the greatest danger. Plus in singleplayer games it would allow AI opponents to be rewarded and become stronger for being aggressive.

I strongly believe the game should have more spoils of war. Right now the treasury and gems of a dying race just vanishes. Certainly there are others that agree.
