Hi folks, I thought I might have my first draw last night as neither my opponent or I managed to reach 60% before the end of the game (this is very rare). As he had a slightly higher % than I he had a text that implied victory if I left the field at night.
Has enyone ever had exactly the same % in this situation? If we both had 58% for example is there a text for a draw?

The game engine does not recognise the existence of Draws, which makes it difficult for us to have actual draws. Most tournaments have rules covering what constitutes a draw, differing from the default in-game rules.

By default, in Open Battles, if the scores are exactly equal, side B wins, but that does not apply in any MP tournament or campaign system that I am aware of.

Several of the scenario types make one side or other win if the scores are a draw at nightfall. e.g. In "Defending" scenarios, the defending side would win.
