BUG: Own armies do not detonate after losing core.

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I managed to both cheat the zoom and break my own faction in the same game! :D

Basically, I had a couple thousand units, lost my front line due to careless play, and my core exploded.  Suddenly I found myself without any income, defenses, or radar, but my units were still there and I could still use them.  Almost took out the AI that killed me with the ten dreads I had. :D

That is actually intentional.  We put that in so that you could exact a petty revenge against the one who took you out.

What?  WHY?

oh right.

In 1v1s this wont matter all that much, but in FFAs and team games it will add some weird/interesting dynamic to the gameplay. 

 

Could you make it more obvious that this isn't a bug or something?
