For anyone who doesn’t know what it is. A Pyrrhic victory is a battle strategy that involves forcing the enemy to spend so much of its resources in one victory that it would be no different than a defeat. If that doesn’t make sense to you. Imagine playing a soccer game. And the enemy team’s strategy is to stretch the game out for so long that your team gets so exhausted that it would have been better off in the long run to have accepted defeat.
A Pyrrhic victory: come from Pyrrhus a King who keep defeating Rome, Spart, and Macedon in the field but never Able to finish them to much accumulating lose on his Veteran stopping his campaigner. he end up dying by a woman trowing stone to save her son knocking him out
Its essentially the concept of running a war of attrition. Make them spend as much resources as possible trying to beat you, while keeping your resources as stable as possible given circumstances. Doesn't always work that way, hence a pyrrhic victory, where you lose a lot of fucking resources, but the other side loses way more in an attempt to win. Its basically the warfare equivalent of "how long do you want to drag this out? cause i've got all fucking day"
Basically my Stellaris empire, I’m currently playing the commonwealth of Man, and we’d basically been piddling about, whoa-fully behind technologically, friends with basically no one, but super nice to anyone who was nice to us. We played hard ball, and got the Galactic Market early, built up slowly tho. We had 5 planets before our “Weapon Thanes”, the Machanazor Index, descended upon us with hellfire. The first war, was basically this one, where I spent more money, material, and manpower to just keep afloat, but deal small probing damage. Figure out what the enemy had, figure out how to Fight them. Pincer movements are a bitch, and I achieved my first Pyrrhic victory for this very reason. I Didn’t “win” but I wore them out until they pulled out. Lost only two systems and no planets, but gained access to their technology from damaging their fleets...it propelled me to 4th in the Galactic community early. We’ve sense had 5 wars, each one I slowly cripple off another chunk of their empire, another sliver of their control. We’ve finally almost caught up completely, but after each war, I go back to being the Market economy I was, building up and maintaining a navy for surprise visitors, but otherwise upgrading at a maddening pace. But I’ve basically been doing raid warfare and that’s been doing best, never really hitting the main fleet, since I’d be slaughtered, but engaging smaller fleets when available. Beating up on them and making them spend into the ground. If this current war pulls out, I’ll have a partially finished Dyson sphere, an economy so powerful I honestly fear for the Galaxy, and a BRUTALLY powerful military. I’m otherwise just a normal state, doing my business.
Lesson learned NEVER let the humans go to war, it doesn't matter if it's against a third party or themselves! Afterall the rule states: "Adapt and overcome!"
Adapt, IMPROVISE, and overcome And in the past 300,000 years of being a species and conducting warfare, I dare say we've gotten damned fucking good at it
Give humanity a reason, and we will fight. Hell we fight for the fun of it!
We play games bsd on war and not just on pc/consol we are crazy
Give us a fo and deth will come to us or them

Summed it up perfectly

You may have won the battle... but the war is long from over.
