A surrender should allways lead  to the end of a game. (Victory by
points) 

The player/alliance with the highest prod/eco/mil-power/techlead
can ask if all other want to give up. When all the others say ok. The
game ends with an allied victory for them. The AI should only agree when
the power from all but the ally and the players who have surrendered is
much smaller then the power of the winning players.

When players give up they usually leave and aitoggle themself.
