One of the reasons I would like to see the conquerer get the spoils is it would encourage more attacking play in MP. Often you can end up with a stalemate situation abit like this:-

3 Players ABC, roughly the same in power. None dares attack each another because the player not involved in the war will wait until the 2 warring factions exhaust themselves or until one as nearly defeated the other and then move in and grab everything. Seen it done many times.

To a certain extent Dominions 3 rewards those players who sit on there butts building, building, avoiding wars until later in the game and only attacking the weak or war exhausted.
