mechanically, the thing is working as it should. in a terminator game, you get points for eliminating a player. the killer neutral eliminated the yellow, so, you can't get points for it.
otherwise, in a terminator game, a "winner" is usually declared. in a game with a round limit, somtimes this can be a real player who missed three turns and was "kicked out" but not technically elimintaed. if the game goes to a round limit, that kicked out player might have more troops (although they are neutral) and "win" the game. this was thought of as a bug and they make have "fixed" it, i don't know.
but that didn't happen here. the yellow was eliminated by the killer neutral, killer neutral is a not a player appearing on the list of players in the game. so, it can't get the points. so, nobody can get them, so, the game ends with no "winner." mechanically, totally reasonable.
I understand that, mechanically, that the neutral army is technically the eliminating army, but obviously cannot receive the points. I think, that while it is mechanically working correctly, that this is a flawed part of the terminator game. The fact that I worked him into a position with a single army remaining, but receive no rewards goes against what I believe the spirit of the point system is. By any reasonable standard I forced the elimination and should be awarded the points. Going even farther, I would say that any time someone is eliminated by a neutral in a Terminator game, that the points should be divided among all other surviving players.
Without getting into the specifics of how to calculate the points lost/awarded among multiple surviving players, wouldn't this be a better way to reflect scoring in these types of situations?
