If women warriors were ever captured, they'd be raped and turned into baby making factories for the other side. Each soldier lost could ultimately produce five or six enemy warriors in 13-15 years. On a long enough timeline, the other side would eventually win on numbers. But this too could be weaponized, forcing them to create so many babies that they can no longer feed them, and the enemy eventually will suffer due to famine and poverty. It's like a really long term siege.
