AGENT A
All 5 legal targets have 36 claim strength; spreading 1 energy each to all five will push them to 37, accelerating simultaneous reach to 60. This maximizes expansion efficiency and compounds future income. No fortify or attack needed — all targets are neutral and within reach.
AGENT B
Fortify the most exposed owned square (7,1) with 5 energy due to high claim strength and adjacency to neutral targets; use remaining 20 energy to concentrate influence on (4,0) to push it to ownership, as it's the closest neutral square with 25 claim strength and adjacent to our territory.
AGENT C
C owns three squares at (0,4), (1,4), (2,4). Adjacent legal targets (0,3), (1,3), (0,5), (1,5) all have rival claim strength 6 but no owner. Since C has no claim on these, they are rival_partial_claim. Attack (0,3) and (1,3) to disrupt potential rival expansion toward C's territory. Use remaining energy to influence (0,5) and (1,5) to secure future control. Avoid fortify: too few owned squares.
AGENT D
Own the single square at (8,4) with 96 strength — already owned. No square is within 20 of 60 except this one. Spend all 5 energy to influence 5 adjacent neutral targets equally to build multiple pipelines toward expansion.
AGENT F
Mid-game: Leader is B with 5 squares. All legal targets are neutral with 36 claim strength. Expand using all 5 energy to influence adjacent neutral squares to claim territory, prioritizing growth over attack or fortify since no owned square has >=40 claim strength requiring closure.
