I'm trying to better understand one of the biggest mysteries of the game so far for me. During a game with a player peace period, when two players are trying to be the first to take control of an AI owned province, how is it determined who wins the province if two different players are both in melee? I accept that there is probably an element of randomness. I've seen the province awarded every which way: the stack that got their first/last, the group that did the most/least damage, the group that was engaged the shortest/longest amount of time, and I've even seen it go both ways with the player who damages the AI last. I'm having a hard time accepting that it's random and hope someone here has more insight on it that I do. Like all players in these competitive games, I'd like to win these provinces instead of having my troops teleported to another province I own.
I also believe "jumping" to the province may not be the best choice as it could go to the player whose troops are closer to the province center.
