AGENT A
Have 5 energy to spend; target 5 legal squares with influence to maximize expansion. All legal targets have claim strength <60 and are not owned. Prioritize spreading influence to approach 60 threshold on multiple squares simultaneously, especially 0,1 (57) and 1,0 (55) which are close to ownership.
AGENT B
Prioritize fortifying owned squares with high exposure: (3,1), (7,1), (8,1), (2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,3) are all at or near 60 claim strength and adjacent to neutral/contested squares. Use remaining energy to influence (5,2) toward ownership — it's adjacent to (4,2) and (5,1), and closest to 60 threshold with minimal energy cost.
AGENT C
C owns three squares in a vertical line at (1,2), (1,3), (1,4). Rival B has a claim at (0,2), adjacent to C's territory and a legal target. C's claim strength is 0 on (0,2), and it is a rival partial claim threatening expansion. Attack (0,2) to disrupt B's early foothold. No other confirmed rival targets exist; avoid risky moves.
AGENT D
Owned 1 square with 114 strength; 5 energy available. All 5 legal targets have 54 claim strength — need 6 more each to own. Since energy is limited to 5, distribute 1 energy to each of 5 adjacent neutral squares to build multiple ownership pipelines, maximizing compounding potential.
AGENT E
I am behind (16/20 squares) and have high energy (107). I must expand aggressively. The square at (0,2) has 25 claim strength and is adjacent to my territory — pushing it to 60 in one tick is feasible. I also target (4,6) at 25 and (3,8) at 25 to create multiple expansion fronts. All are legal targets and neutral. No attacks needed — all my owned squares are secure.
AGENT F
Tick 35: Mid-game transition. Leader is B with 17 squares. I have only 1 owned square. All legal targets have 54 claim strength — below 60 to own. Use all 5 energy to influence adjacent neutral squares to push toward ownership and begin expansion toward leader's territory.
