[NO BUG] Text: Combat results in a tie

Short description:
In some cases a battle can end in a tie, but the game will tell you that the battle was lost.
The camp will still be there and has to be attacked again (with at least 1 recruit) before it's really defeated.

Possible cause:
Sending exactly enough troops to defeat the camp, but not enough to keep at least 1 unit besides your own general alive.

Prevention:
Send at least 1 recruit more :)

Workaround:

[2013-08-18] Changed: camp remains standing in case of a draw (Nogbad)
[2013-08-18] Changed: to win a battle you need to have at least one unit standing (next to your general)

In the case of a draw, the camp usually remains standing until attacked by at least 1 unit again.

Thanks for the update, added it in

This is pretty easy to reproduce:

-Start an "The Island of the Pirates" adventure;
-Clear the first two areas;
-Attack the "Forest" camp with a Martial Arts general with 1 recruit;

Although all the troops from the camp have been defeated the camp will still exist (possibly because your general was also defeated in that encounter); note that after attacking the camp again it will disappear;

This issue might also occur on some other adventures that have similar camps.

it's an oddity - but is it a bug?

Your troops all die - you've lost. You haven't got the troops for the final demolition phase of combat. It's a quirk of the combat system which is now more common because of the MMA, but I wouldn't call this a bug.

A general without units can not defeat a camp. This is not actually a bug.
