Dominion programs with stronger bots? Yes please!

They weren't AI; they just played particular cards via whatever simple formulas. If it's a struggle to beat a very basic strategy based on a particular playtest card, hmmm, maybe it's too strong.
LibraryAdventurer:
Was there anything especially unbalanced or wrong with the thing that turned silvers into peddlers or was it fine and just didn't make the cut?
(Us fan card designers want to know these things.)

It tended to be useless or dominating. People didn't enjoy it being useless or dominating. Also it was wordy and couldn't even spell out what to do (which is, turn those Silvers sideways so you know which ones were Peddlers). At one point we ranked the cards and it was near the bottom for Projects (there was one Project below it which also left); I tried to replace such cards with better things.
