"It was my experience in TB that the Ai had to be pretty much defenseless. All planets have to be blockaded, and no SATs or combat ships left. I don't think score is the only factor."
First just FYI surrender and all other AI actions work the same in either mode. Second, I've had an AI surrender without doing that.
Third, from the AI files:
Quote:
Score Percent To Accept Demand your surrender := 1000
Will Accept From Friend Demand your surrender := False
Will Accept From Enemy Demand your surrender := True

These control how the AI handles surrender. Blocking does help, since by blocking their planets you remove any production from that planet. That lowers their score IIRC.
