Defeat - abunchofhacks/epicinium-documentation GitHub Wiki
At the end of the Decay phase, players without City tiles are defeated. If each City tile controlled by a player is occupied by an enemy unit, that player loses control of those City tiles and is also defeated.
Players who resign are defeated at the start of the next Action phase.
Defeated players lose all old orders and cannot give new orders. Once only one player remains undefeated, the game ends and that player is awarded a score. Defeated players receive a score of 0. In the rare case that all players are defeated at the end of the Decay phase, the game also ends and all players receive a score of 0.
