Experienced a confusing loss in the beta game.

I experienced a diplomatic and military loss in a multi star map.  I was number 1 in military and there were no enemies in my teams solar system.   what are the conditions for a diplomatic or military loss?  I kind of feel this is a bug.  I was also number 2 in colonization.  The only victory conditions we set where capital planet loss.  No other conditions were turned on.  My capital planet was never attacked and was over 100% loyality.

Diplomatic loss would only occur if you had diplomatic victory on, and it would require a certain number of diplomacy points which are accrued with the diplomatic cruisers being in another players gravity well. A Normal defeat is achieved by losing all planets, or in the bots case it surrenders when it's economy goes under from loss of planets and ships. There must have been another condition set such as occupation, research, or capital ship. If you have a save check the option before you push load to see what it's set as.

He said he set last capital standing to on...

 

You said you had allies? Were the teams locked? Maybe one player in the team lost his homeworld due to Novalith attacks and all players lost? Now that'd be annoying...
