I have found that the english rules states that in case of a tie, you have to count the number of adventure tokens, and if there is still a tie, you have to look at the home province nearer to Conan figure.
And that's not correct. You have to see which home is nearer to Conan destination marker. This errata is coming from one of the designers.
That makes a difference only on turn 1, when Conan and his destination marker are in dfferent locations. During gameplay, you move Conan to his destination anyway, before bidding for him.
