RETREATER
Abandoned Minoans are left to fend for themselves.

Always knows how many are in the Palaces, where each Wanax is and how much at risk it is.
COURAGEOUS
Plays boldly exuding confidence and attitude - championing fortune favours the brave.

You never know if a devious plan is taking shape or their plans keep being scuttled.
STATISTICIAN
Tries to work out the perfect game plan - elusive - as many decimal places as Pi.
EXPEDITIOUS
Starts with guns blazing and doesn't back off - only posts Minoans in their order of strength - lacks finesse.
DEMURE

CHARISMATIC
Smoothly picks the right Minoan to play - how to play it and where to place it.
