Surrendering

Players that feel like they have no chance at winning may surrender out of a game by clicking the Players button, then Surrender.

Instant Surrender

Game creators can decide whether surrenders happen instantly or require that all other active players in the game accept the surrender. The default is for surrenders to require acceptance.

Surrender into AIs

Game creators can decide whether surrendered players are replaced by an AI or not. When disabled, surrendered player's territories and armies will turn into neutrals. If enabled, the player will be replaced with an AI, which will continue to operate their empire for them.
