King deleted after entering castle?

long story short guy sends king into castle with 10hp left and then the castle went from 1 to 0 and dude gets eliminated. king dieing sound plays but no one gets score. and castle was not deleted just king went poof…

here is clip and is currently my 2nd game going down list currently myself if you look at my replays (Mr.Jingles) game with 4 zhu xis civs in it (6/23/24 1h 30m game)

am I missing something since that threw me off and i know im currently sick and confused but…

The attack animation had already started before king entered the keep.

For melee attacks, if the animation has started, it will deal damage. You can dodge ranged attacks that way, not melee.

Don’t know if this is a bug or feature, has been in the game since as I know it.

If its a feature then it makes the king bugged since it gives no pop in this fashion.

Yeah, I had one game that I killed one king and did not get pop space.

It was not the same case (or could be), I have watched my replay multiple times to try to identify why I did not get pop space on my case and did not find out.

Pop space seems to have one bug or another as well, maybe in this case it was caused by garrisoning the king.
