It depends on the AI, but I believe you need the following ratios of your score to theirs of 10:1 for them to surrender and 6:1 to subjugate them.

For stock AI's, you need 10x their score. If they have strong negative mood towards your empire, you might need a little more.

Now that condition is absurdly low. I once played a game with a policy of demanding each race's homeworld immediately on first contact. I quit after meeting three races, all of whom gave it to me.

... Which would probalby substntially reduce their score, making it easier to get everything else. Cool.

Acutally, I am, but there's some AI empires floating around too. So, guess it's time for me to demand homeworlds.

which makes playing PBW with AI's a game of chance, the first one meeting them will be the one leading.
