Specifically, I wanted the deployment to have the most "bang for your buck," and to that end I looked for the most efficient castle. The metric I used was troops per point per point, which produced castle number 3, leaving only 2 selections for the castle, 3, 6, 9 and 10 or 3, 7,8 and 10. I chose the combination with the fewest points per troop, and then weighted troop placement by the number of troops I'd expect someone who had placed them based on value alone would have placed them. |
