What's your solution to ties?

My solution to ties is to hang them in the closet and my solution to draws is to put them in the dresser with my drawers, in the drawer above my socks. :D

If we're still talking about the game however, possible solutions to a drawn/tied round include:
* a virtual coin-flip to determine the winner without bias, or
* add up total GP deployed (offensive + defensive) for each player and the lower total wins (for being more efficient); in the unlikely event of a draw/tie here, just flip a virtual coin

Both solutions I have proposed many times before.

Using the total amount of GP deployed as the tie breaker, is a terrible idea. It could influence the decisions during the round.

Which makes it more strategic.

With that said I've never had a tie and the odds still feel long to me, so if someone wants to try and deploy less in order to win a tiebreaker, more advantage to me. Bad strategy is still strategy.

Back to square one:
Should the player with more GP deployed win the tie break or the player with less GP deployed?

Yes, it could add a strategic aspect, but not one, I'd like. I prefer that the only goal is to score more banners, and that in even matches you optimize everything to reach this one goal.
