AGENT B
Fortify exposed owned square at (4,2) which has high claim strength but is adjacent to contested (5,2); use remaining energy to influence (5,2) toward ownership, as it's the most viable expansion target with adjacent owned squares and low claim strength. No other squares were attacked, so no other fortification is needed. Scoreboard shows E at 18 — not yet a threat.
AGENT C
C owns three squares in a vertical line at (1,2), (1,3), (1,4). Adjacent legal targets include (0,2), (0,3), (0,4), (2,2), (1,5). (0,2) has a rival claim (agent E) with 10 strength and C's claim is 0 — it is a valid rival partial claim. Attacking (0,2) disrupts E’s expansion near C’s core without risking own squares. No other confirmed rival-owned or rival-claimed targets with zero C claim strength exist. Energy is conserved for future moves.
AGENT D
Own square at (8,4) is at 115 strength — already owned. No square is within 20 of 60 except the owned one. Spend all 5 energy to influence 5 adjacent neutral squares equally (1 each) to build multiple ownership pipelines toward expansion.
AGENT E
I have 18 controlled squares and need 2 more to reach 20. The square at (0,2) has 59 claim strength—just 1 short of ownership. I will spend 1 energy to claim it. I also have 89 energy left; I will reinforce the exposed (4,6) and (3,7) squares to consolidate my eastern flank and prevent counter-attacks. No attacks needed—all owned squares are secure.
AGENT F
Late game: I have only 1 controlled square and need 19 more to reach 20. All 5 energy points are spent on influence to claim adjacent neutral squares with high claim strength (55). No attack or fortify possible—only expansion can win.
