How to get AI EMpire to Surrender !?

[RiTz21]

Greetings !

I am playing this TDM-ModPack game and I've almost wiped all of an AI's Race except for one tiny planet with 19M population left, and my Fleet in Orbit.

Since that race has ICE colonization, I'd like it to SURRENDER instead of just wiping them out and missing the opportunity to get that technology. But alas, when I ask it to surrender, it always tells me it's too close to victory to surrender.. yeah right...

Any suggestions HOW I could sway those poor souls into surrendering !? I am not at war with them, but their mood is "murderous".

THANKS !!

Greetings to you RiTz21:

What TDM race are you referring to?
Some AI Players will NOT surrender to (friends) and some AI Players WILL fight to the death no matter what

Many of us find this to be realistic, what would you say?

The default value is 10X score. I *think* that some (most?) TDM races still use this.

Declare war on them, and we will see only then if they react to your surrender terms when they understand you are very serious about this matter.

Another option: Back off a few sectors or even out of the system entirely blocking warppoint(s), build some Boarding Ships, and wait 'till he builds more colonizers and transports. Then capture colony tech and alien slaves for your appropriate domed worlds. THEN glass 'em...

And yes, some AI's will NEVER surrender.

Leave a few planets for him to colonize and yes have a boarding ship able to go after that ice colonizer caputre it - put it back to youre shipyard - wipe him out - anayise the ice colony ship he build and you will get the tech and can cream him at the same time.
