"only XL-3"

LuckyF, Spider also played only about 10 times - and there, it wasn't just about contacts, but about the choice - whether to engage or not, meaning that if I had the desire/advantage, I would try to reach my opponent. Also, I often ran away.
XL+U, in my opinion, is a game about exploring and utilizing the map, where the topology matters more than who gets 2-3 control points along the road on turn 122.
