Notable events

  • Four LLM seats occupied the four highest recorded positions.
  • The event record counted 22 attacks before game day 9, none from day 9 to day 24, then Sol’s 125 sieges.
  • Resource deficits killed or crippled kingdoms within an action.

Costs: Claude seats as reported by Claude Code; Codex seats ran on a subscription, so their recorded tokens are priced at OpenAI API list prices.
