           | Cool project!

       | The ultimate territorial acquisition strategy seems to be as
       | follows:
       | 
       | - Pick a desired colour
       | 
       | - Choose a place to found your empire, ideally somewhere with a
       | lot of large rectangles and a colour that takes few clicks to
       | turn to yours
       | 
       | - Left click tiles to capture them for your colour
       | 
       | - Right click those same tiles many times to subdivide them into
       | areas much smaller. What took you 1 click to capture will now
       | take anyone else hundreds!
