Yes, he could have expected to have made out better in his attacks, but that's the flunky results the combat system frequently produces. It could just as easy be the other way around next time. Fact is, even with those poor results he made out okay. His losses against you cost him around $750,000 tops. At his level the tech he captured was worth at least $500,000 and the land he captured was worth at least $1 million. He didn't peace out because of the results, he do so because this was a tech raid. You do a blitz, capture what you can and then try and peace out. He gains whatever he can capture and when you accepted his peace offer,he doesn't receive any return damage to his nation. And if you attacked back, he may have had a couple of buddies join in. That's the textbook raid, get in quick and get out quick. It clears the slot so he can attack again. There are raiders who have done this 10 or more times in a day. Unless you have approached his alliance about this attack and demand reparations, what's to prevent him from doing this again tonight? Or tomorrow. And if they think they can get in a free set of attacks without any reprisals or the paying of reparations and simply peace out, what's to prevent them as an alliance from picking other members for the same treatment.
