a Coward

We don't plan to have fights like that.

[AGX-17]

If I remember correctly:

 

If your foe is stronger retreat, if equal then seek advantage, if weaker then attack.

Most of Sun Tzu's advice was basically common sense to keep hotheaded/brash/arrogant commanders from biting off more than they could chew.

[Sensuki]

We currently have (and will continue to make) optional encounters that are too macho for your projected level going into them.  There's an encounter in our vertical slice area that wipes almost everyone on the team who goes into it.  It can be beaten with an "underleveled" group, but it requires a lot of tactical retreating and careful party management.

Sweet. Sweet. Hope that encounter stays!

[J.E. Sawyer]

It will.  It's only gotten harder over time.

[Sensuki]

Who managed to beat it ?

[Orogun01]

It will.  It's only gotten harder over time.

Is it worth going through that, I mean will the game reward you for it? Or is it one of those things that you brag about it to your friends who then ask: "What the hell is Project Eternity?"

Loot and bragging rights I guess since there's no XP reward (unless there is actually an optional reward for defeating that group, but there probably isn't).

Of course it's worth it, don't be silly.

Reloading repeatedly, or starting a new game if you play iron mode, is totally worthwhile if there's a possibility you're going to get an enchanted item that can be used on other reload-time optional encounters. 

Non-optional combat encounters, which are generally more accessible, become a bit easier with such enchanted items. So you can be totally happy that after reloading hundreds of times on impossible! optional combat encounters you get your reload-time cut in half on non-optional combat encounters; from 4 to 2 times.

Alternatively,

 

For he who fights and runs away

May live to fight another day;

But he who is in battle slain

Can never rise and fight again (without a diamond worth 5,000 gold and a 9th level Cleric).
