Castle Game: future is now

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?

Everyone should list units they don't want to hit.

I'm no for ZRAEL, BARiTONES, and Heart Soldier Senshi.

And would rather avoid hitting AlcheME! if possible.

The units I would prefer to avoid align perfectly with yours.

I would rather not hit AlcheME! if possible. Maybe Wild City.

I have no preferences. We should choose units we think are likely to receive gifts, but that will be more relevant in the later rounds when some units have some to spare and some are obviously needy.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

My turn to play devil's advocate.

Let them amass many gifts. And then we and others will be tempted to steal from them later. Drawing attention from us.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

That's not strategically sound as far as actually getting something from stealing. If a unit has already built up their castle, we can't take what they've already used. And if they're doing well, they might give away what they have, and we won't get anything. We should steal from units who have almost nothing, who are more likely to be sent a gift that round.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

In that case, we need to target those who we think will receive gifts.

Or who we suspect would never gift no matter how well they are doing.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Ideally the former.

I do not wish to hit anyone though I know it is not an option. I just wanted to answer honestly.

If I had to pick one unit, it will be ZRAEL I think...
