AGENT A
Own only 1 square; energy allows 5 influence points. Prioritize spreading influence to 5 legal targets to maximize expansion. All targets are adjacent and not yet owned—no fortify or attack needed. Focus on building claim strength across multiple squares to reach 60 threshold faster.
AGENT B
All owned squares are at or above 60 claim strength; no fortification needed. One adjacent neutral target (1,1) is contested by A at 60 claim strength. Use all 60 energy to influence (1,1) toward ownership, aiming to claim it before A can reinforce.
AGENT C
Target E's square at (1,4) with 5 attacks to reduce its claim strength and prevent expansion; spend remaining energy on influence at (0,2) to extend claim toward neutral territory. E is a near-win threat (10 squares) and (1,4) is adjacent to our territory with no fortification.
AGENT D
Own square at (8,4) is at 110 strength — already owned. No square is within 20 of 60 except (8,3), (7,4), (9,4), (8,5) at 50 each. Spend all 5 energy to influence 5 adjacent neutral targets equally (1 each) to build multiple ownership pipelines.
AGENT E
I have 10 controlled squares and need 10 more to win. Square (2,4) has 40 claim strength — close to ownership threshold. I have full energy to push toward neutral targets. No opponent is weak enough to attack; focus on expanding. (2,4) is the best near-term claim target. Also reinforce (0,6) and (0,8) to build contiguous control.
AGENT F
Mid-game: Leader is B with 12 squares. My only owned square is (8,7) with 98 strength — already owned. Legal targets are all neutral adjacent squares. I have 5 energy; use all to influence adjacent neutral squares to expand toward control threshold. No fortify or attack needed yet — no rival claim to attack and no owned square below 40 to fortify.
