I defeated an enemy and the game abruptly ended saying I was defeated

bug in game play kills you off

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi all, I can't figure this one out.  If I could share the gameplay save point, I would.  I'm a noobie; please forgive my misnaming of the civilizations below.

I did a large galaxy game.  I'm down to 4 civilizations including mine.  I'm strong, have a close relationship with the Slynge (sp?), a decent relationship with the IC, and at war the the Dengiun (sp?).  I just defeated the Denguin.  After I defeated them, the next turn starts, but then abruptly the game ends saying my civilization was destroyed.  

I turned off all possible game ends accept war or diplomacy just to keep the game going. 

I don't understand what happened.  I can't seem to get that straightened out, and I can't continue the game.  

so...what gives?  I appreciate the help.  I may have hit a bug in the game?  Has anyone else hit that?

Is it possible that when you defeated the Drengin, it left the Slyne and IC allied with each other, and one of them also allied to you? If so, the civ that was allied to both the other two civs would win a diplomatic victory.

It is possible..  I'm going to launch the game at a previous save point, end an alliance with the Slyne, and see what happens.  thank you
