You miss the point.

The problem most (I think) have been complaining of in this thread is that there is no incentive for the *defenders* to accept or offer a peace treaty: they know that if they surrender, they'll only be a shadow of their former selves, and think it more worthwhile to force the attackers to destroy them, thus damaging their reputation and making the claims last a long time.

It is, of course, quite ridiculous, and almost no one of the time would have acted that way (unless they were mad).  But since there is really no significant negative consequence to the players (or even the characters!) for having their realm destroyed, it becomes a pretty viable option.
