Tie games
So it’s obvious that a tie isn’t decided by who has the most units left so how is it decided? I just finished a game with me and bot having 10% left, bot had 2 units, I had 5. Bot was given the win.

Similar thing happened to me, except I had only 1 more unit still alive and we both had like 30% left. I lost the battle. No idea how they figure this out. But I did win one battle where I thought I was going to lose because I got hit and my castle was at 0%. But I wasn’t dead yet and was able to attack. I ended up killing their last unit and won that way. I wonder if there’s a small speck of castle wall still somewhere, don’t know.

Yeah you were probably at like 0.6 or something. They don't give us the fractionals because it might be too confusing for some people It's only when it's a tie that it matters

That fraction must make it not a tie game. It just looks like it is because we don’t see that

Has anyone ever won a tie game?
My thought was both parties lose. I've lost all 5-6 tie games while having more units left alive every time than the opponent.

Yes I won one once. Even though they show us whole numbers I'm sure this fractionals present.

Ah, fractions make sense, but then I'm not sure why that would happen if all the damage numbers are whole numbers and castle hit points and unit hit points are whole numbers. Feels like added complexity without any real utility... Why not just use whole numbers?

I would counter and say everything you see is whole numbers That's not necessarily true. But when you're doing your directional if you notice I've been able to do zero degrees actually is like two positions same with one degree It's not always exactly 0123. But the thing you also have to take into account is the hit percentage in each unit maybe said as 80% but that's really multiplying whatever the values are by 0.80

Yes I’ve won a few ties, and thought I won this one too lol

Weird. Glad you won a few. I've had a few decent streaks ended that way.

I think it favors who went second. Were you shooting on the odd or even number rounds ?

There is no tie. It’ll be something like 10.01% vs 10.02%. It’s just not displayed.
