Yup, that's what I meant. In this case the box "fight to the death" was checked.

I'm not sure the "nothing personal...." routine indicates that the faction will not surrender. I've seen it many times before and usually the faction will surrender anyway after you've pounded them long enough.

Really? Every time the AI says that to me, they always fight to the death. Of course I never activate the secnario editor to check, but...Even if they're last base is undefended and they aren't producing minerals, they still "will derive great pleasure" in having me executed.

:hmm:

I'm certain now that the "Nothing personal" routine doesn't indicate that the AI will fight to the death. Example: Santiago comes knocking on my door demanding Doctrine: Airpower. Naturally I give her the finger and she declares Vendetta on me, using the "Nothing personal" routine. After conquering half of her bases she surrenders and she has been a good pet ever since. So the "Nothing personal" routine is just a phrase the AI uses to piss you off .

so i guess there is no way to tell if the AI will fight to the death or not. except the "you butchered thousands of my people you monster" after you atrocity them.

here's something i've just seen for the first time. AI zak got eliminated by H'minee early and apparently do or die is on (or is it off?). anyways he started over. he only has 2 bases but they are far away and safe from the caretakers for now. i want to use him as a tech pet, so i tell him to end his war with the caretakers but he says: 'Never! H'minee and her ruthless followers must be crushed!'' it would seem that the AI wont surrender if you make it restart.(?)

Sorry, Chowlett, for being a bit pricky, but the manifold itself is 2-dimensional, and all 2-dimensional manifolds have zero volume with respect to a 4-dimensional measures.

I know - and I think "embedded" is wrong as well (should be immersed). I would gladly change it if someone would just give me a succinct alternative...

I regard SE fudging in the course of a diplomatic turn in order to gain AI brownie points to be bad form, and refrain from doing it. I take exception during a long-term war of invasion and eradication. if I feel the AI would surrender due to its hopeless situation and only my abhorrant SE settings are keeping it back, I'll change them to their preferred choice the turn I'll speak to them. But, I'll only accept unconditional surrender; I won't con peace treaties from them this way.

Exactly how I use it. And I would never use it in MP.
