One for all, and all for one!

You planned this... he's ready to give you feedback at any moment:D

Feedback will be given when I want it. I won't give it before turn 4++. In general, I don't see any way for Shuk to win. He won't catch up to me. He won't be able to recapture any more castles and will likely be stuck with 2. His money and resources will run out soon.
The economy of the entire map + the resources from 11 castles should be enough to defeat him by turn 4++.
P.S. Of course, he can hope for me to make a mistake.
