Eliminating a scorched earther=poor sportsmanship
You've clealy beaten me, proving you are the better player. I am making things as difficult for you as I can, destroying my infrastructure, seeking allies to protect my lands, and pillaging my territory so your troops will starve and be unable to replenish their ranks.
Why perist in attacking me at this point--just to rub my nose in my defeat? That's poor sportsmanship!
And it doesn't benefit either one of us.
Call off your attack, and let me rebuild as a client state! You'll understand if I choose another player to become a client of, right? You attacked me after all.
With the war at an end, you can turn your resources and armies to building up for the next opponent, and don't have to worry about wasting resources to capture those last few pillaged wastes of mine.
You'll be the stronger for being such a generous victor, and a much better sport, to boot!
