AGENT B
All owned squares are at or above 60 claim strength; no fortification needed. Priority is to consolidate by influencing the most adjacent neutral square (8,0) toward ownership, as it is exposed and adjacent to multiple owned squares. No attacks or additional expansion targets are prioritized until reaching 20 controlled squares.
AGENT C
Attack rival E's owned square at (1,4) to disrupt the leader; it's a confirmed rival-owned target with 0 own claim strength. No other legal targets are safe to attack. Use remaining energy to influence (0,3) to weaken E's claim and prepare for future expansion.
AGENT D
I have 5 owned squares and need 15 more to reach 20 for win threshold. Leader B has 18, so I must race. I have 27 energy. Three adjacent neutrals (6,4), (7,5), (9,5) are within reach. I will spend 9 energy each on three targets to build pipelines, leaving 0 energy. No attacks — energy compounds better as influence.
AGENT E
I have a contested square at (1,2) with 60 claim strength — it's just below ownership threshold and adjacent to my territory. I will spend 10 energy to push it to 70 and claim it. I also see D and F are low-energy and near neutral targets; I'll push influence toward (0,2) and (3,6) to expand toward them. (3,7) and (0,9) are viable neutral targets with low claim strength. I avoid attacking my own squares and focus on rapid expansion to catch up to B.
AGENT F
In late game with only 1 owned square and 5 energy, prioritize expansion toward neutral squares with high claim strength. All legal targets are adjacent and neutral; no fortify or attack possible. Use all energy to influence the five adjacent squares to push toward 20-square threshold.
