If the cube count ties on an island, does it become uncontrolled and lose its buildings?

The designer ruled on this in several threads, and the rulebook's control rules support it.

Yes. A tie leaves nobody in control, so the island becomes uncontrolled and an Outpost on it is removed. Forts and garrisons block control from changing until they are destroyed, so normally only Outposts are at risk. Cargo and coins on an uncontrolled island cannot be loaded.
