Incidentally, how can one find out the pro level of the various bots? I'd be interested in which is the highest ranked and how high it is. (Warlord is the one that beats me the most)

I play Contraband. Lord Bottington prohibits Philosopher's Stone, even though I have no Potions in my entire deck.

You could have gained one with Horn of Plenty, then played it with Venture.

Edge-cased!

I think the order of play is something like this:

* Play Contraband, LB names Phil Stone
* Play Copper and Silver
* Play HoP, gain Potion
* Play Venture, which searches for and plays the Potion
* Want to buy Phil Stone, but can't
* Wonder what kind of messed-up game you're playing where this is an option, let alone a desirable strategy

Doesn't matter; had edge-case.

...but obviously you got Horn of Plenty from the Black Market, and you want to gain Potion and Philosopher's Stone to increase your Fairgrounds' value. And you are about to end the game on 3 piles, or something. Dunno, use your imagination, people.

If you go to "Multiplayer" and make a new private game, you can add a bot and see their rankings.

I'm pretty sure the rankings are adapted to your specific kingdom, though I'm not sure exactly how. Villager bot tends to have higher rankings on boards with strong engines, for example.

Each bot only has one ranking for each play mode.  It is conceivable that different bots play different Kingdoms better.

Serf bot buys a random card each turn. It has no strategy.

Is there any evidence that this is the case? I mean, it surely looks like that at times.

I didn't find the evidence, but that has been the conventional wisdom for quite a while so I assume it's based on something.

Lord Bottington turn 16:
Lord Bottington plays Workshop
Lord Bottington gains Silver
Lord Bottington plays 2 Copper
Lord Bottington buys Estate

Lord Bottington had the 3 pile win by using Workshop to gain the last Village (edit: even without buying that Estate). I won on my next turn.

If the three pile is on estates and villages then the bot will never spot that. It has no concept of what it might buy later when it is playing the workshop.
