Default Re: Unit only empires

I think an empire with only ships left should still be able form treaties and keep relations with other players. If all a player has is a colony ship left and they are completely surrounded by a former ally, they wouldn't lose that treaty and their Last best hope gets blown up in a formerly friendly mine field or something else. I've seen this happen to neutrals who get overrun. I noticed that sometimes they actually evacuate their home system and attempt to start a new colony somewhere, but it almost never works because of this.

If a human player has only units left, then it should be counted a loss, all relations should be severed, and control should revert to the AI. That way later races can still encounter leftover mine fields and things, but no human player has to worry about them.
