In a game with some friends against some AI, we had spent the last hour trying to scour the map for an enemy that we learned didn't exist.

What we think happened, is that one of the AI was killed while it was in the middle of constructing Mobile Rulership when it was wiped out.  Allowing the game to think the other AI was still in the game with it's ruleset allowing them to remain as long as another player on it's team was considered alive.

including a screenshot to help illustrate what we think is an edge case bug with the game.
