Goko Dominion Online / Bizarre Bot Strategies II

« on: March 01, 2015, 04:32:04 am »

Because the thread has been quiet so long, a new one for describing obviously wrong or not-so-obviously-but-still-definitely wrong bot actions and strategies.

Bot plays Band of Misfits. It can choose Treasure Map, Tournament, Scheme or Masquerade. It chooses Tournament. I reveal a Province. The bot plays another Band of Misfits, and again chooses Tournament, apparently hoping that this time I keep my Tournament to myself...

Game Reports / Losing Grand Markets

« on: July 20, 2013, 06:20:06 pm »

Using Stonemasons and Chapel, I had come to a deck consisting of 8 Grand Markets, 2 Treasuries, 3 Silver, Chapel, 1 Stonemason. Excellent hand, likely to gain 2 Provinces a turn for the rest of the game. My bot opponent, who had been buying out Treasuries like I had done to Grand Markets, bought the last Treasury and a Duchy - thus threepiling Grand Markets, Treasuries and Stonemasons. I lost 6-0.

Puzzles and Challenges / From zero to hero (no actions)

Under the following restraints:
* It's your turn in a 2-player game
* You start your turn with 0 points and with a 5-card hand
* You have no Durations out and no coin tokens available
* You play no Actions, and no Treasures other than Copper, Silver and/or Gold

What is the maximum number of points you can have at the end of your turn?

What was the maximum number before Guilds came out?

If I have found the right solutions, the numbers are 38 and 35, respectively

Game Reports / A flying start

« on: June 23, 2013, 07:02:09 pm »

Normally in a game of Dominion, the first few turns one buys cheap cards, and more expensive cards are bought later. Normally indeed. Not when you're in a 3-player game where both other players use Pirate Ships and Cultists. In this game I was the proud owner of five Provinces by turn 15. When the game ended at turn 26, I still had five, and had had no turn with more than $4 since then...
