AI bugs / Re: Treasure play order (Bank)
23 January 2017, 06:05:54 AM
Yes! The bot has lost because of this. We were tied in score, and he played a bank, followed by two silvers and a copper, and he bought a Duchy. If he played the bank last, he could have bought the last province and won!

AI bugs / Re: AI have problem with Chapel
09 January 2017, 12:42:29 AM
Yes. I just played a game (#190366, if that means anything) where the bot went haywire on Chapel.

Essentially, he got his deck down to a Familiar, a Potion, a Silver, and two Chapels, and then just kept discarding and drawing that while I did whatever I wanted. I wondered if it was maybe because I'd bought Possession, so he was programmed to try to keep his deck crappy?

Finally, when the stack was down to two Provinces, he bought an Estate, so - as in your case - he had a single point for game end.

AI bugs / Re: Bot & Counterfeit

I've noticed this too. The bot loves Counterfeit and doesn't always use it optimally.

In fact, I've taken to buying Cities whenever Counterfeit is out as well, because I know that the bot will drain the counterfeit pile for me.

AI bugs / Re: Bots play [KNOWN ISSUE]
08 January 2017, 12:44:19 AM
I've also been noticing that the bot often picks up a potion on a 3/4 open that he never ends up using.

Another issue is that the bot doesn't seem to care much about embargo tokens. A couple of times, I've double-embargoed the gold pile on a board with no trashing, and the bot will still buy gold when he has $6, two curses be damned. Meanwhile, I'm building up virtual coin. I've fed the bot all 10 curses this way!

I've also noticed that the bot severely underrates traveller. I'm not sure that I've ever seen him pick up Page or Peasant, and those are often very useful cards.

(I keep editing this as I play)

I've also noticed that the bot will by an estate if it's near endgame, even when I have my Swamp Hag out. Estate + Curse = Two dead cards and no net points. This isn't some Gardens trick either pretty basic game.

Seconded!

It's particularly bad in Black Market games where I might have a couple dozen different types of cards in my discard pile. It's tough to guess from that thin strip of card art what you might be getting.

Card Texts problems / [Fixed] Dame Natalie
07 January 2017, 04:40:17 PM
Dame Natalie's online card says "Gain a card costing up to 3"

I believe it should say "You may gain a card costing up to 3"

Incidentally, you still get the "don't gain" option, even though the online text suggests that the gain is mandatory.

I have had the same problem with Vineyards. The table displays the number of points I've earned per Vineyard, rather than the total VP. My final score is still correct, however.

Card Bugs / Permission and Possession
04 January 2017, 03:44:03 PM
This problem occurred in a game against a bot. I'm not sure how it would play out with a flesh-and-blood opponent.

In this game, I Possessed my opponent and accidentally played the wrong card. When I pressed "undo" to fix it, I was asked for my own permission to allow the undo to proceed. This seems like one choice that my opponent should still be able to make in spite of being possessed.

Card Bugs / Wishing in the Black Market
04 January 2017, 06:35:08 AM
Recently, I played a game with Mystic and Black Market in the kingdom.

Once I'd purchased a card through the Black Market, there seemed to be no way to guess it using Mystic, even when I knew exactly what the top card was.
