I've yet to have anything but happy/jubiliant populations. Had 1 planet gifted Last night and failed to check. I'll look tonight.

I remember both enjoying the realism and grinding my teeth when an opponent in MOO2 would surrender to another, stronger race instead of allowing itself to fall to me when their oncoming defeat had become too obvious to ignore.

That would be a great piece of AI to add to SEIV, albeit a potential challenge for the coders!

Or tribute everything away to an ally AI. I've seen this done in AOE2.

In reply to my early post: The gifted/tributed planets are happy. They know a good leader when they see one.
