It used to be that minors forces would despawn - handing every land they own to the conquering player and deleting all their units - after loosing their final city. Right now the process is half-broken:

Only if the zone area and troops are "connected" to the city, do they despawn somewhat reliably.
To get there, we have to avoid full encirclement of the city. Leaving one hex to the enemy, to make sure they can despawn. This prevents getting the maximum encirclement bonus on the attack.

Ideally this should be working consistent, even if the zone nearest enemy zone borders are a few hexes away from the city

Will be fixed upcoming version.
Thanks for reporting.

I was keeping it alive because it still had another Zone. But new rule will require this kind of Minor to have a second Zone with a City in order to survive.
