Had a game where Yithril started out in a bad position and was unable to setup more than 2 cities, so I went sailing past them in terms of power. When I was about 3x his score I declared war, then just to see what happened I immediately offered them the chance to surrender and they did. Shouldn't they put up a little bit of a fight before giving up.
Now I know I could just not do that and knock him down a couple of times for funsies and cities before asking for his surrender, but I feel like there should be something in the AI logic to say don't give in without at least one battle? What do you think, would it just be annoying to have to fight a weaker opponent before they give in?
If this has been discussed before I apologise, but the search on the forum is terrible.
