Invasion was a draw?

February 12, 2011 1:55:39 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Not really sure what happened here... I invaded with 2500 troops against around 7 billion Drengin, and got this screen. When I went back to the main screen, the planet remained in Drengin hands with 10 million survivors. Fortunately another transport was nearby, but it was certainly out of the usual.

Ideas on what could have caused it? Anyone else ever seen this happen?

The odds stacked up exactly evenly, plain and simple.

It is rare, but it can happen. You probably didn't lose many (if any) troops with that second round, I would imagine.

But why did the planet stay Drengin? Both of us were completely wiped out - does a tie go in favor of the defenders?

Evidently, yes.  Which is not unreasonable, considering that conceptually you're not actually slaughtering the entire planet's population, but just killing the soldiers.

I've had it happen in DA as well, about once every 12 games. When there's a draw, the defender wins.
