786 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 15 | 5 | 19 | 21 | 23 | I try to get the best of both worlds, as much as possible, by sending big battallions to the largest castles while still having a good chance of grabbing the even-numbered lower ones by punting on odd numbered low castles. It's a bizarre strategy that does well against the average strategies from both the other years as well as the winning strategies from those years. I do have to punt on one of the bigger numbers, so I choose 7 since I think people tend to "randomly" select that one a lot, plus 7 is "big enough to be important but not so big that others will get it, so I will". I do still send 5 troops there to avoid losing to other strategies that punt there. |
