Unconditional surrender is broken

[masteriw]

I was going to report it in the bug forum, but I noticed it has been reported recently a few times and no one cared.

The AI often takes forever to sue for peace after you use unconditional surrender against it. This has caused me to go bankrupt and explode in another war, ruining my achievement run. Not that it was going very far after losing a war so heavily, but this button doesn't work.

It would look like that the AI will eat war exhaustion just so you go bankrupt, out of spite

.......so its a MP only feature, like loans?

AI doesn't get call for peace. Unconditional surrender is garbage, and the logic that led to its implementation wasn't sound anyway .

AI is supposed to notice and accept it though so it definitely sounds bugged, pretty sure it was working at some point. Either that, or it always was too random how fast it would peace, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's been impacted by some other change.

@Chaingun any chance you can black flag Navies when you unconditionally surrender? It seems silly to force a naval battle at that point.
