How to Stop AI Player Surrendering?

Age of Mythology: Retold Ask for Help
1

Hello there. Thanks for stopping by.

In Age of Mythology, I always play Conquest mode with my friend, teaming up against the AI player, in multiplayer games.
But in Age of Mythology: Retold, the AI player tends to surrender too easily when things start going badly, and what’s worse, in multiplayer games, the system allows them to surrender without even asking the players.

This really frustrates me, because I don’t want the game to end like that.
Does anyone know any way to stop this from happening?
Maybe a game setting, a mod, or even editing a specific file in the Steam folder?

It would be wonderful if anyone could help.

I played 5 or 6 games against the AI player yesterday (new patch), and it doesn’t resign early anymore. It even builds a base near other settlements in bad situations. There’s a noticeable change.

I hear your frustration. AoE2:DE had/has(?) this same issue.

For that game, “104” taunt or AI command, thankfully, started working decently for me recently. (Although, come to think of it, I may have had to also edit an AI file based on a dev’s recommendation.)

I checked Google and it doesn’t seem like AoM:R has a similar taunt/command, but I recommend entering “104” taunt and see if it works anyways
