Re: Scorched earth
Again, I think it's worth distinguishing between different policies:
a) Fighting your damnedest, and making your enemy pay in his soldiers' blood for every inch he gets off you, while burning the land you're about to lose.
b) Doing out of character things which are bad for your nation as well like giving land to a third party.
I don't think anyone disapproves of (a) do they? Seems to me that's a good way to play - and fun, and realistic too. You never know, you might manage to turn the war around, and while there's still any hope, keep fighting! I love these dramatic situations where someone manages to hang on with only one province for half the game, killing vast numbers of their enemy's soldiers.
(b) just seems mean though, to me.
