343 | 2 | 12 | 13 | 13 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 26 | 26 | To win the battle you need to win at least 28 VPs. The combination 10,9,2,3,4 yields exactly 28. Castles 9 and 10 are worth the most therefore they need the highest troop allocations, the rest were split between 2,3,4 evenly while leaving 2 in each remaining castle to win them if they are under defended. This strategy beats common strategies such as: 10 in each, 0,0,...0,25,25,25,25 and 2,4,5,7,9,11,13,15,16,18. Other than that it's mostly a guess at how other players will place their armies! |
