Raw LLM Responses

Its just Efficient. It costs the AI one nonliving asset, and costs the enemy all of their living assets, most of their infrastructure, and disrupts their supply lines. I wouldnt be surprised if it was taught decision weight like "human lives preserved are its highest priority" and tried surrendering multiple times, had surrender weighted to "unacceptable" and tried fleeing, had *that* weighted out and tried forcing an enemy surrender etc etc until the devs weighted "allied" and "enemy" lives to opposite weights, at which point it went for the proverbial Nuclear Option.
