rowid | Castle 1 | Castle 2 | Castle 3 | Castle 4 | Castle 5 | Castle 6 | Castle 7 | Castle 8 | Castle 9 | Castle 10 | Why did you choose your troop deployment? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
809 | 2 | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 0 | 0 | You need 28 points to win each engagement. I'm expecting most people will deploy their greatest number of soldiers to the highest-point castles. My intent is to concede those and instead deploy my soldiers to the lower-point castles, where each soldier should have greater incremental value. If one could consistently win castles 1 through 7, that would be just enough points to win the battle. I've decided to contest castles 1 through 8. |
