Ok,this might not happen every game but suppose a player had only 1 Island left, moves all of his troops onto another isle tot attack (and thus conquer) it. Now suppose that player loses all his troops in battle. This player then had no troops left only a fleet(or more). Wat happens then??? Is that elimination from The game or do you 'keep' unnattended islands?

The statement below is false.
The statement above is correct.

You always keep unattended islands, and that's what the cardboard tokens in each player's color are for.
Edit: There is one corner case that makes it possible to be eliminated from the game. It's possible to conquer an island that's the last home of an enemy player if that action allows you to win the game - but if a player does that, then later loses one of his metropolises, there's still an eliminated player and yet nobody won yet. But that's really rare. I haven't heard of it actually happen, it's more of a thought experiment.

I've seen it happen, twice I think.
But in those rare cases, the end of the game is always near, so it doesn't really matter.

I don't agree on the latter..if a player decides to invade an island occupied by an opponent who only owns that island he has to prove in advance that he can win. So if you don't actually win by conquering said island you cannot invade it..
if there are other parameters or actions that need to be met or done you MUST do those first or you may not invade the last remaining island of your opponent.
meaning that by conquering the island you MUST win and end the game.

Trust me, what I wrote is true and is the way the designers intend it to be played. Now of course, you can decide to house rule it any way you want.

I'm pretty sure your assumptions are based on your own interpretation of the rules...unless you know the designers personally which would surprise me.
we played under the assumption that leaving an island unattended meant that you lost that island...that was the initial cause for my problem. If you keep said island my problem cannot occur
but don't panic, you don't need to trust me, play the game however it feels right for you 
And it was Guido gloor who wrote it

Then be surprised.
I am friend with Bruno Cathala and I have played Cyclades against him (and I have never won  ).
So, no, this is not my own interpretation, this is the way it should be played.
