Who wins ties?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Many people on the boards are passing along the conventional wisdom that if two fleets annihilate each other, the attacker wins and survives with one hitpoint.

However, as far as I can tell, this isn't the case. If I attack a ship with very high attack value with weaker ship (but still sufficient to kill it in one round), the ship with the highest rating survives.

So which is it?

A: attacker survives with 1 hitpoint
B: 'strongest' side survives with 1 hitpoint

If you say 'A', have you actually tried this lately?

Umm.... I think there are cases where A is right and there are cases where B is right. From my understanding of this I think if 2 ships both destroy each other at the end of a round the tie goes to the one that had the most HP at the beginning of that round. If both had the same number of HP I think win goes to the attacker but haven't actually tested this.

I'm sure Kyro will clear this up for us .

I have actually seen both my fleet and the enemies explode at the same time. So maybe a tie means both sides die...
