So, a game came down to the enemy having only a few squids, and me having lots more than that, so I sent my subs out on a squid hunt, they killed a few, others got wrapped up in the squiddy goodness, and then the game ended with a victory for me, the squids disappearing.

it's minor, and yes I would've won after that anyway, but it's such an odd bug I thought it worth reporting.

So I assume whats happening is the squids don't count towards the unit count when they've got something in their tentacles, so the game declares a win-state.

IIRC in the vanilla skirmish game, enemy terro drones in my tanks are not counted as their remaining troops, so yes this is a vanilla one.

They are limboed because you put LimboLaunch=yes on their weapon.
AI counts limboed units when determining whether a team is destroyed. It would be weird victory doesn’t count them.

I didn't put anything, it's limbolaunch by default.

Ares should fix this already by counting parasites too. I'll have to check where it goes wrong. Thanks for the report!

Mind control parasite never returns from the limbo. Would it cause unbeatable player in non short game if they got counted?
