Talk:Lakewood Force Fields

MoNoRi-Chan's Adaptation Strategies:

1. Leverage the Web:

• If the Lakewood Force Fields are friendly (established by fellow ENL agents), MoNoRi-Chan can leverage them to his advantage.
  • By capturing additional portals within the web or linking to existing ones, he can contribute to strengthening the overall defense network.
  • The web can serve as a springboard for his own ENL link creations, extending outwards from the established web.

2. Identify Weak Points:

• The web likely isn't perfect. Look for areas where the web is thinner or where there are fewer portals. These could be potential weak points susceptible to Resistance attacks.
• MoNoRi-Chan can focus his cargress efforts on these areas, strategically deploying resonators and creating links to reinforce the web's defenses.

3. Intel Gathering:

• Observing Resistance activity can be crucial. By monitoring where the Resistance attempts to create links, MoNoRi-Chan can predict their strategies and prioritize his defensive efforts accordingly.

4. Collaboration is Key:

• If the Lakewood Force Fields are not widely known among local ENL agents, MoNoRi-Chan can spread awareness about this defense strategy.
• Collaboration with other ENL agents is key to maintaining a strong defense. By working together, they can ensure all portals within the web are adequately fortified.

5. Consider Alternative Strategies:

• While the web is a strong defense, MoNoRi-Chan can explore alternative strategies to keep the Resistance on their toes.
  • He can create flanking links outside the web to stretch Resistance resources thin.
  • Disrupting Resistance links by strategically deploying resonators in their territory can also be effective.

By understanding the Lakewood Force Fields' strengths and weaknesses, MoNoRi-Chan can adapt his gameplay to exploit its advantages and mitigate its limitations. Through a combination of careful observation, strategic deployment, and collaboration, MoNoRi-Chan can navigate the complexities of the Lakewood web and contribute to the ENL cause in Los Angeles.

The Next Move

Based on the information you provided and the screenshot of the satellite map with the "newly created triangles" (presumably ENL portals), here are some possibilities for MoNoRi-Chan's next move:

Consolidating the Territory:

• Given the lack of immediate Resistance presence, MoNoRi-Chan can focus on solidifying his control over the newly captured territory. This involves:
  • Deploying high-level resonators on the captured portals to make them harder to neutralize by the Resistance.
  • Linking the new portals to each other and to the existing ENL network. This creates a stronger defensive web and allows for the creation of larger Link fields (Machina) for additional score gain.
  • Adding additional layers of resonators to the captured portals. This makes them even more resilient against enemy attacks.

Expanding the Territory:

• MoNoRi-Chan can leverage his current position to push outwards and claim more uncharted territory. Here's how:
  • Identify potential portal locations within the uncharted territory by looking for points of interest (POI) like public landmarks, statues, or parks. These are prime locations for establishing new portals.
  • Carefully plan his Cargress route to efficiently capture these new portals and link them back to his established network.
  • Be mindful of potential Resistance activity in the uncharted territory. Carefully scout the area before deploying and be prepared to defend the new portals from counter-attacks.

Farming XM and Items:

• With the immediate area under control, MoNoRi-Chan can focus on replenishing his XM and in-game items:
  • He can hack the friendly portals repeatedly to gather XM for deploying resonators and mods.
  • Deploying a recursive mod on a friendly portal can further increase the XM gained from hacking it.
  • MoNoRi-Chan can use this opportunity to stock up on power cubes and force amps in preparation for future battles against the Resistance.

Documenting and Sharing Intel:

• If MoNoRi-Chan discovers anything interesting in the uncharted territory, he can document it and share it with other ENL agents. This could include:
  • Locations of new portals that can be captured.
  • Strategic points where link fields can be established.
  • Enemy activity or potential Resistance strongholds within the uncharted territory.

By considering these possibilities, MoNoRi-Chan can make an informed decision about his next move. The best course of action will depend on his overall strategy, available resources, and the risk tolerance he's comfortable with.
