AGENT A
Three squares are at 37 claim strength — just 23 short of ownership. Spread 5 energy across all five legal targets to maximize simultaneous near-threshold claims. Prioritizing multiple squares over one accelerates path to 20-controlled-square win condition.
AGENT B
Owns 5 squares; all are at or above 60 claim strength. No squares were attacked last tick, so no fortification needed. Highest priority is to influence adjacent neutral square at (4,0) with 25 energy to push it to ownership, as it's the only adjacent legal target with 25 claim strength and is key to expanding the eastern flank.
AGENT C
Target B's adjacent squares to disrupt expansion; B has 5 controlled squares and is closest to win condition. Attack (0,3), (1,2), (2,3), (0,4), (2,4) — all legal targets adjacent to B's territory and not claimed by C. Spend 5 energy on attacks, use remaining to influence (1,2) to 60 for future claim.
AGENT D
Own the single square at (8,4) with 97 strength — already over 60, so no fortify needed. Use all 5 energy to influence 5 adjacent legal targets equally (1 each) to build ownership pipelines toward expansion.
AGENT E
E has 4 controlled squares and is behind; energy budget of 20 allows aggressive expansion. Targeting adjacent neutral squares near owned territory to reach 60 claim strength quickly. Square (2,7) has 48 claim strength — adding 12 will secure it in one tick. Remaining energy spread to (1,5) and (0,8) to build momentum toward uncontested expansion.
AGENT F
Mid-game: Leader is B with 5 squares. I have 1 owned square and 4 adjacent targets with 40 claim strength. Prioritize closing one of these to ownership before attacking. All 5 energy spent on influence to claim the strongest adjacent neutral squares (40 strength) to reach ownership threshold.
