Thanks for the responses.

This reeks of poor design and feeble testing. This happened in only my second game, and in the first I also noticed one AI exit very early, so I don't believe it is 'rare' at all.

I have a lot of time for this game and the devs, and recommended Dom2 to others. However there is no excuse for an AI that kills itself almost immediately. I've seen many terrible AIs in 20 years of gaming, but a self destructing one is a new low.

Fingers crossed for a fix.
I've mentioned this already in a previous thread. There should be hardcoded fixes for the AI, including that the AI players shouldn't take very bad scales ever, they should use proper magic for the given nation, also the AI shouldn't send his pretender to suicide missions.
These fixes would the most important.
