As a hypothetical example of my philosophy at a personal level, say I'm being mugged and they want my laptop. If I cannot overtake the attacker, I throw the laptop on the ground destroying it, and then ask what else they want.
On a territory level, the last action before final defeat would be to poison the land in such a way that it's not useful to anyone. Make it clear beforehand that the result of an opponent successful attack will be spoiling their prize, rendering the attack pointless in the first place since the outcome is either they are defeated, or they gain nothing.
I'm ok with lose/lose strategies. Not ok with lose/win because evil should never be fed.
