AI end game sooner?

Hi, just want to know if the AI will eventually resign before it has every last one of its soldiers/citizens. It gets a little frustrating searching for 5 mins of a big map for a tiny red dot, a single villager standing next to a tree. Perhaps something which measures total income over 1 min and if there is a drop of over 75% during the past x mins resign? Think this should definitely be done sometime.

Sorry about grammar, typing from my phone.

Solutions that all can be implement:

  1. "Spies" or "Treason" tech. Cost 100 metal for every enemy unit (can be disabled with trigger). Reveals vision of enemy units.
  2. Capturing female citizens. This would make the end-game much quicker.
  3. AI realizes when it is time to resign. Asks for mercy and player can choose yes or no. Yes, ends game with player victory. No, game continues so player can hunt down rest of enemy units if she wants to. Just like in Age of Mytholoogy.

Thanks everyone. I don't think there should be a tech to reveal all enemy troops though. Its not hard to get a large amount of metal and it would defeat the purpose of scouting. Simple something where The ai gives up if it only has a few troops at end game would suffice for a bit while we wait.

Treason work fine in AOK and AOM (called Omniscience there). It inly available in the last phase and by then if your enemy has a good pop then it is too expensive (100 metal for each enemy unit, so if enemy has 200 unit then Treason costs 200x100 or 20,000 metal, not an easy sum to get), but if enemy has low pop at this time then the tech is cheap. By this time of match "scouting" is only tedius looking for the enmy's last few units.
