Surrender Changes

[Drake]

I don't know that I'd say it's more realistic to suggest the empires not surrender until a large chunk of their empire is slaughtered. Realistically, if your opponent clearly will win out, resistance is indeed futile, unless you hate the opposition so much you really would rather see your worlds reduced to slag rather than support the conquerors.

Anyway, the problem isn't realism, the problem is that the AI is atrocious. I'd rather they just made it more of a challenge as opposed to making it taking a beating for a longer period of time before throwing in the towel...
