Make accepting surrender a choice

[Xyquas]

Currently (1.0.0.94), when an AI empire surrenders this is accepted automatically. I think it should be a choice as begging for mercy and receiving gifts are choices too.

I don't quite understand what you mean here. Could you be more specific ? I know that when I demand an enemies surrender they do not always just happily accept.

I played a game where at some point an AI empire (Varaians in this case) called me via diplo channel to surrender. I had no choice on this one because the only option I could click on was "finish". In other cases I have the choice between "accept" and "decline". I think this should be consistent throughout the game.

If you play in mission mode I would think the reason you dont get a choice is because they are one of the two primary races in the game.
When they surrender it means they give up their empire to you, which would be considered the end of the game, as in you win.

Would you rather continue the war and wipe them out than accept their surrender?

I cannot confirm or decline this because it was the first time another empire surrendered to me.

I thought so, but this is not the case. Take a look at the thread [1.0.0.94] Varaians surrender does not end game for further details.

Would you rather continue the war and wipe them out than accept their surrender?

Probably not. But as mentioned above, it would better fit the current diplomacy system where I can even decide to decline gifts (which also is something I probably would not do).

I have had races surrender to me, but never got in a war with the Varaians, I'll have to see what happens if I do.
