279 | 3 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 2 | 27 | 31 | 2 | 2 | I suspect that many strategies will have castles with either 0 or 1 armies and will focus their armies on castles worth about 28 points. Other strategies will distribute their armies more evenly. If one distributed the 100 armies evenly by the points of the castle, one would get the following: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18. If one distributed the 100 armies according to castle points but focused on just castles worth 28 points, the armies would be some combination zero values and numbers like: 4, 7, 11, 15, 18, 22, 25, 29, 33, 36 (with slight variations due to rounding). In general, I will win over a given opponent if I tend to win castles by having only slightly more armies than my opponent, but lose castles by having much less than my opponent. Each of my 10 castles will have armies designed to slightly beat one of the following opposing strategies for that castle: an essentially undefended castle (castles 6, 9 & 10), an equally distributed castle (castles (1, 2, 3, 4 & 5), or a focused attack castle (castles 7 & 8). This gives the following values: 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 2, 27, 31, 2, 2. |
