Simulation Challenge: I Like Big Decks And I Cannot Lie

So, I was just reading another thread from this section, and I noticed that some people would like more simulation challenges, and I thought, "you know, I might not be good enough at the simulators to win those things, but I'm good enough at posting topics to make one."

And I remembered that there's been some interest in Gardens on the forums lately, and some interest in Silk Road, and even some interest in how they compare, and what to do when both of them are on the board.  And then I thought about all the cool mass-card-gaining options that have been added with Hinterlands, and how I've been wondering which of them work with Gardens, and all that stuff...so I says to myself, I says, "this sounds like a problem for the simulators!"

-----

Kingdom (Provinces):
$6 - Border Village
$5 - Ill-Gotten Gains, Cache, Haggler
$4 - Gardens, Silk Road, Ironworks, Trader
$3 - Workshop
$2 - Hamlet

And here's my best effort so far:
Code: [Select]
<player name="Yo Deck So Fat"
 author="A_S00"
 description="I like squirrels.">
 <type name="UserCreated"/>
 <type name="Combo"/>
 <type name="Province"/>
 <type name="Bot"/>
 <type name="Competitive"/>
 <type name="TwoPlayer"/>
   <buy name="Border_Village"/>
   <buy name="Ill_Gotten_Gains">
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInDeck" attribute="Ill_Gotten_Gains"/>
         <operator type="smallerThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="2.0"/>
      </condition>
   </buy>
   <buy name="Ironworks">
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInSupply" attribute="Province"/>
         <operator type="smallerThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="8.0"/>
      </condition>
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInDeck" attribute="Ironworks"/>
         <operator type="smallerThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="4.0"/>
      </condition>
   </buy>
   <buy name="Workshop">
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInSupply" attribute="Province"/>
         <operator type="smallerThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="8.0"/>
      </condition>
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInDeck" attribute="Ironworks"/>
         <operator type="smallerThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="4.0"/>
      </condition>
   </buy>
   <buy name="Gardens">
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInDeck" attribute="Ironworks"/>
         <operator type="greaterThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="1.0"/>
      </condition>
   </buy>
   <buy name="Silk_Road">
      <condition>
         <left type="countCardsInDeck" attribute="Ironworks"/>
         <operator type="greaterThan" />
         <right type="constant" attribute="1.0"/>
      </condition>
   </buy>
   <buy name="Ironworks"/>
   <buy name="Workshop"/>
   <buy name="Estate"/>
   <buy name="Silver"/>
   <buy name="Copper"/>
</player>

Now, I'm no expert with the simulator, nor am I any better than decent at Dominion, so I'm probably setting the initial bar to beat pretty low...but I do love my Silk Roads and my Gardens, and I enjoy reading these simulation threads...so who wants to do it better?

Go ahead!

*edit* Un-broken'd the bot.

I can't get your bot to load into my simulator. You're using the newest version of geronimoo's sim, yes?

There's a line missing (description). Did you modify your clipboard after clicking Copy/Paste in the simulator? If you did... don't.

Oh, and what exactly is the challenge here?

It says v1.2.0, released December 2011...it's the one linked from Geronimoo's Wordpress.  I assume it's the newest.  Oh, I know what happened, I deleted the trailing > by accident when I took out the description line.

Try that?

Someone go ahead and beat it, then I'll optimize.

Opening IW/Workshop instead of IW/Silver beats that ~64-33:

Keeping it stupid and simple beats the above bots (just Ironworks, Workshop, Silk Road and Gardens and start at the Estates as fast as possible):

Actually, does anyone have the MEGA turn bot that used to come with the sim? I'm looking for anything at all that beats what I posted, and only a couple things are getting better than 3% (and aren't variations on the theme; i.e. the earlier bots are close to it, but it's the same idea, and throwing in like great hall or tunnel or crossroads or ambassador would certainly help...)

Edit: Drunk Marine Students does it...

Taking an early IGG (before the second reshuffle) is a minor improvement to these scripts. You can also gain hamlets instead of excess ironworks when you're behind on points to avoid an premature 3 pile loss. Apart from that I'd come to a similar sort of script to Geronimoo's with more conditions and no advantage.

This would be a nice setup to submit for the Kingdom Challenge. :)

Those kingdoms where you want a piece of everything are a real horror to play correctly.
