342 | 2 | 16 | 6 | 15 | 2 | 11 | 21 | 5 | 1 | 21 | Adjusted random numbers. We could say there are three basic strategies (focus on a few high-value castles, focus on many low-value castles, and an even attack). Each of these strategies has an effective counter-strategy, but this naturally requires knowing the opponent's deployment. Random numbers are a form of an even attack, but the variance weakens the counter-strategy. The numbers were slightly adjusted to give advantage when facing an opponent who focused on the 10-9-8-7, without changing the outcome of an opponent who spread evenly. |
