1132 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 11 | 16 | 26 | 31 | 2 | 2 | I saw that taking castles 8, 9, and 10 would give 27 of 55 points and an almost certain victory, so I knew that if many people opted for the more valuable castles, 8 was the number I could not give up. I allocated 95 of my soldiers to castles 4-8, because giving up 9 and 10 meant that the bottom three were the most I could forget about. I made the number of soldiers at these five castles one greater than a multiple of five, because I thought that some people would choose multiples of five. I made sure to leave some soldiers over for the top two castles, so I could take them if my opponent left them alone. The final soldier went to castle 3, in hope that I might get those points as well. |
