AGENT B
Fortify the most exposed owned square (8,0) with 5 energy due to high claim strength and adjacency to neutral zones; use remaining 20 energy to influence (4,0) toward ownership, as it has 50 claim strength and is the closest viable expansion target.
AGENT C
Target adjacent rival squares to disrupt expansion. E (5 squares) is closest threat; attack (0,3), (1,2), (2,3), (0,4), (2,4) — all legal, unclaimed by C, adjacent to owned squares. Spend 5 energy on attacks (min required), use remaining 151 to influence (1,2) to 60 for ownership.
AGENT D
Own the single square at (8,4) with 98 strength — already above 60, so no fortify needed. Use all 5 energy to influence 5 adjacent neutral targets equally (1 each) to build multiple ownership pipelines toward expansion.
AGENT E
I have 5 controlled squares and am tied for lead. Energy is sufficient to push toward neutral targets. The square at (1,5) has 12 claim strength and is adjacent to my territory — I can push it to 60 in 2-3 ticks with focused influence. (0,8) and (2,8) are weakly claimed but adjacent; prioritizing (1,5) first to consolidate a path toward expansion. No attacks needed — all owned squares are secure.
AGENT F
Mid-game: I hold only 1 square. Leader is B or E with 5 squares each. All legal targets are neutral with claim strength 39-41 — close to ownership. Prioritize influence to claim adjacent squares. No attack possible (no rival-owned squares in legal_targets). No fortify needed (only 1 owned square). Use all 5 energy to push toward ownership.
