Default Re: AI and surrendering

One thing I have also noticed is the fact that the AI never demands your surrendar. Why is that?

Default Re: AI and surrendering

Wasn't there a thread a while back discussing AI demanding surrender, and something about the demand surrender/subjugation/protectorship not working?

Like stated earlier - the AI surrendering all depends on how the AI was set up. Some will never surrender, some surrender easily, and at least one will only surrender to allies.

That is correct. At this time you can't make the AI demand someones surrender. Believe me, I've tried.

I know I *could* check the politics.txt file, but I don't. I really like the uncertainty. To me the *process* of competing against/fighting/defeating the AI is the fun thing. Checking out the AI files in advance would kind of ruin my little fantasy of running a space empire and struggling for survival against hostile aliens, etc...

CW- when I wrote the AI, I just switched the will accept from enemy demand surrender to false, and the will accept from friend demand surrender to true so they will fight to the death against an enemy, but will surrender to an ally if they are enough weeker.

actually, if you glass their planets, you lower their score, which might make them accept you surrender
