The rage had the Norak down to just their homeworld, with more than 10 times the number of points the Norak had, and they never issued a demand for surrender. After several turns they diverted enough of a fleet from attacking the Phong to glass the Norak homeworld, but they never asked for surrender. As I read the politics file, they should have started asking for surrender when their point total was twice that of the Norak. (Or do they only ask once, long before the other race would be prepared to surrender - if it came early enough, I might have missed it?)
Why would they start asking at twice their enemy's score? I think the lowest setting for an AI to accept the surrender demand is 5x or 10x (i.e., they'll only surrender when the opponent is 5 to 10 times stronger). Maybe the setting for requesting a surrender should be higher, maybe around 10x or 11x...
