10.6.1 Some AI have a limit on the highest treaty to which they will agree. Nothing you can do will change this.

I'm not sure this is correct; I think that limit is on what they'll offer, not what they'll accept.

Someone needs to verify how Subjugation and Protectorate work; I can't remember who has to offer the treaty. The game does not automatically check which side is "stronger" when the offer is made.

From Default_AI_Politics.txt:

Highest Allowed Treaty := Partnership

Therefore I am sure this is correct. Different AI's use race-specific politics files and can and do have settings below Partnership.

I also have verified (prior to posting the info) that the offering empire is the dominant empire in a Protectorate and Subjugation Treaty.

Thank you,
