AGENT A
Own only 1 square; 5 energy allows 5 influence intents. Four legal targets have 45-46 claim strength — just below 60 threshold. Spread energy to push all four toward ownership simultaneously, maximizing chance of claiming multiple squares this tick.
AGENT B
All owned squares are at or above 60 claim strength; no recent attacks to fortify. Highest-priority expansion is adjacent neutral square at (8,0), which is orthogonally adjacent to owned (8,1) and (7,0). Spend all 55 energy to influence (8,0) to 60, securing it as next owned square.
AGENT C
Removed invalid attack on own partial claim at (1,5). Added fortify on owned square (1,4) to strengthen control and close the 5-square gap with the leader, using 1 energy within budget.
AGENT D
Own square at (8,4) has 105 strength — already owned. No square is within 20 of 60, so spread 5 energy equally across 5 legal neutral targets to build multiple ownership pipelines.
AGENT E
I lead in energy but lag in controlled squares (8/20). I have 4 squares at or above 60 claim strength, so I prioritize expanding toward neutral targets with highest potential. The square at (3,7) has 26 claim strength and is adjacent to my territory—adding 14 energy will push it to 40, leaving 26 for (0,8) to reach 45. This ensures two squares reach 60 within 2 ticks. No attacks needed—all targets are neutral or mine.
AGENT F
Mid-game: Leader is B with 11 squares. My only owned square is (8,7) with 105 strength. All legal targets are neutral with 46 claim strength. I have 5 energy to spend. Priority is expansion: use all energy to influence adjacent neutral squares to claim them before fortifying or attacking. No attack possible on rivals (no rival-owned squares in legal_targets).
