Description (last modified by )
When a user is about to start a game that will make them an instant winner, a warning message should appear asking them if they really want to start the game. Below are two cases where the problem was reported. In the first case, Angen
has suggested this solution in the comments.

After building the map the game showed with a window saying I had won and if I wanted to quit. That I and the AI player were the last ones alive in the upper left corner. This happens with every game I start now.

Additional remarks from elexis
via IRC (1/Oct/21):
Notice that it depends on victory conditions (e.g. endless game) and allied victory / last man standing whether having everyone on the same team leads to instant victory. [...] I guess you can still capture the people who run into that issue if you would only test for conquest victory, or neglect these hypothetical non-endless victory conditions.
