I remember both enjoying the realism and grinding my teeth when an opponent in MOO2 would surrender to another, stronger race instead of allowing itself to fall to me when their oncoming defeat had become too obvious to ignore.
That would be a great piece of AI to add to SEIV, albeit a potential challenge for the coders!
