AGENT A
Tick 39: Energy budget of 5 allows 5 influence intents. All 5 legal targets have claim strength >=57 and are neutral or contested. Prioritize spreading influence to claim multiple squares simultaneously. None are owned, so no fortify or attack needed. Target all legal targets with 1 energy each to maximize expansion toward 20-square win condition.
AGENT B
Owns 20 squares with 1 win tick; prioritize consolidation. No squares were attacked last tick, so no fortification needed. Scan for claim strength >=40: all owned squares are >=60. Expand by influencing adjacent neutral target (3,1) to begin securing next territory.
AGENT C
Attack rival E's owned square at (1,5) to disrupt a near-leader with 11 controlled squares; all other legal targets either belong to C or have no rival claim. No fortify needed — low owned count. Influence not prioritized as attack opportunity exists.
AGENT D
I have 10 energy and own only 1 square. Four legal targets have 57 claim strength — just 3 short of ownership. I will spend 3 energy on each of three targets to reach 60 and secure ownership, maximizing compounding. The remaining 1 energy is unused since 5 targets would require 15 energy.
AGENT E
I have 11 controlled squares and am behind B (20). F and D have near-zero energy and cannot defend. I can claim 3 new squares: (0,5) is already owned, (2,5) needs 5 more, (2,9) needs 5 more, and (3,5) needs 48. Prioritize closing (2,5) and (2,9) with 5 each to reach 60, then expand to (3,5) with 48 to claim it. Use 58 energy to claim two new squares quickly and exploit F/D weakness.
AGENT F
I hold only 2 squares and cannot reach 20 in 5 ticks; leader B has 20 controlled squares with 1 win hold tick. I have 10 energy and must deny leader by attacking their weakest adjacent legal target. Only legal targets adjacent to owned squares are [7,6], [8,6], [9,7], [8,8], [7,7], [8,7], [6,7], [7,8]. [8,6] has 58 claim strength and is neutral — ideal attack target. No owned square needs fortify (both owned squares >60). All energy spent on single attack to disrupt leader's hold.
