And I got beat ... going to a golden deck myself.  Somehow it built up to a Colony golden deck by the same turn I was able to build a Province golden deck...  I've just been on auto pilot against the bot - perhaps I made a silly purchase somewhere.

Still, pretty cool.

The AI's are scarily good. They have trouble with some fancy things (and are particularly awful when there's a strong strategy involving trashing), but when they avoid doing something obviously stupid, I lose decently often.

Conqueror Bot just Forged several coppers to gain a curse (and no Ambs or Masq or GMs here) so I wouldn't celebrate the arrival of the singularity just yet.

It's definitely weak on Duke boards, doesn't use Ambassador (I think), doesn't know how to play against Masq, and always pile-drives Contraband, but it seems decent.  I probably win 8.5/10 games against it, which sounds about right.

always pile-drives Contraband

Haha, yeah, what is that about? Also, he seems awfully happy to go early and hard on the Estate pile. If anything I've learned you can still play a strong game with a handful of Estates.

I guess I'm used to human players who will take the time to build up an engine - it always catches me by surprise when the AI buys its first Province.  Nasty bastard will always go at least partially big money.

[Rhombus]

I haven't noticed excessive Estate buying, but I have seen it buying money too late in the game when it should probably be buying VP.

Sometimes it goes on a 3-pile strategy (it seems) and then backs out, which is a bit odd.  That or it just likes to buy a random duchy or two before starting for provinces...

It also buys Mine ~25% more often than it should I think.  Oh and it loves Caravan.

Different bots have different vp buying triggers.

You guys have all been punk'd -- the "conqueror bot" is actually a bunch of guys that funsockets paid just to mess with you.
