On turn 2, my starting city is bum-rushed by a horde of minor infantry. Is that just an instant-loss and restart?

It depends on your tech start and the type of minor. As a rule of thumb sitting in the defensive with militia and raising independant machineguns in an emergency allows to stale a lot of problems until you can better fight them. If it's not a tech 3 start then raise and independant lighr tank batalion to solve most of your minor issues. It's worth noting that minors can and will randomly push your borders but most of the time they will ignore you IF you do not push their border.
