Diplomacy

It should be pointed out that few games actually proceed to their gory conclusion of the "A true god has ascended" message. I find the large bulk of games come to an end when the only a single un-botted human player remains, the remaining 2 or 3 Last standing powers deciding to bot out and concede after the going has become ugly.

That's really sad... but true. How can players expect to experience battles like seen at Helms_Deep by tossing in the towel ? Heck I keep kicking and fighting until the very end. When I start losing... I really kick into gear with using diplomacy more and more for trying to save my butt or draw attention on others.
Sure there will be games which players are going to lose... but players can expect to improve survival skills by facing death head on. If two players are completely equal with strategies who would you want as your ally... someone who tosses in the towel when faith is lost or someone who fights to the bitter end.
