I've been thinking about how we can orchestrate the long-term planning logic better in this benchmark too, similar to how claude code has a planning step, maybe every X turns we introduce a planning calibrartion step much how like people are able to plan for multi-step turns.

Ie. we often see the same logic repeat: "Turn 70: I have 4 cities with 24 military units and 3 workers. Critical issues: Roma and Antium are flagged as undefended. I see phalanx #160 at Roma (10,58) and phalanx #171 at Antium (13,59) - they need to fortify for defense."

"Turn 70: I have 4 cities with 24 military units and 3 workers. Critical issues: Roma and Antium are flagged as undefended. I see phalanx #160 at Roma (10,58) and phalanx #171 at Antium (13,59) - they need to fortify for defense. I have a massive army of warriors that should be

and just earlier "Turn 68: I have 4 cities, opponent location unknown. Critical: Southgate (7,60) is undefended - Phalanx #167 is at (7,60), so I need to fortify it there. I have 23 military units but no enemy sighted yet. Priority: 1) Garrison Southgate with phalanx #167, 2) Fortify defenders in cities, 3) ..."
