The
first
-
the
AI
no
longer
fighting
-
is
not
true.
The
AI
continues
to
fight
as
well
as
it
can
until
the
game
ends;
it's
just
that
the
Beginner
AI
(
and
many
of
the
others
as
well)
deliberately
don't
fight
very
effectively
at
all.
They
are
very
passive
from
the
start
of
the
game
and
remain
passive
until
the
game
ends.
If
you
want
an
AI
that
puts
up
a
fight
you'll
need
to
start
playing
against
the
more
difficult
AI
settings.

The second - GlobalLOS being activated - happens in all games, regardless of which AI you're playing against, and in fact also happens in multiplayer games without AI (other than FFA). As GoogleFrog said, this feature is in place to prevent games from dragging out forever. It gets activated when one side has 25x the army value of the other side. The AI doesn't change its behavior when this gets activated; it continues to fight as well as it is able to. It just allows you to more easily dispatch the AI by finding the last constructor hiding in some far-off corner that your radar doesn't cover.

It looks like GoogleFrog recently added a modoption to disable this, so if you don't like this feature you'll be able to disable it after the next game update is pushed out.

The third - ending the game without killing all the enemy units - is the AI [i]actually[/i] resigning. The AI will resign and thereby end the game (as opposed to simply stopping fighting, which it never does) when it has no constructors and no factories. This was added because it seemed like a pretty reasonable end-of-game condition for typical skirmish games; as long as there's at least a single constructor it's conceivable that the AI could come back from behind, but if the AI has no factories or constructors it has no way of producing more units and can only win the game if it can destroy the player using only its current army - which is very unlikely.

This means that if you really do want to hunt down every last AI Flea and Razor without the AI quitting on you, you'll either need to carefully allow one enemy constructor to survive, or set the disableAiTeamResign modoption to 1.
