Default Re: Need help against Rage Collective !!!

My only fear is that every AI race modder is now going to start putting those ram tactics into every race. I like the distinctiveness of the Rage, it makes perfect sense for a Berserker-type AI species to throw every Last scrap of themselves at their foe with no regard for their own survival as long as it means being able to kill.

Speaking of AIs with distinctive personalities, I've been thinking of taking a shot at writing one myself that is a race of peaceful researchers whose preferred treaty with powerful allies is "protectorate." I can imagine people racing to encounter and get friendly with such a species. But considering how none of the other AIs ever seems to ask for protectorate or subjugation treaties, does anyone know if it's actually possible? Or is there a flaw in the AI hardwiring that prevents it?
