I have an AI (Sergetti) down to one planet with 300M in populations, no other units or planets.

His score is 4,400 and mine is 138,000. I have his planet blockaded with 5 ships, and have demanded his surrender for 15 turns, and he wont!

Any suggestions? I really need his Ice Colonization tech.

It must be very early in the game. The minimum score is the number of Tech levels times 200 plus the automatic 600 in resources so he must have only 19 Tech levels.

In any case, IIRC, the Sergetti require 50 times their score to surrender. This means you will have to have a score of 220,000. Population ratio has nothing to do with it, and you cannot get his tech by conquering his homeworld. Trading, however, should be very easy if you offer him all the starting techs for his colonization tech (except that he probably doesn't like you).
