From the last adventure in the base set:


Overlord Hogan IV - plays Remodel
Overlord Hogan IV - trashes Province
Overlord Hogan IV - gains Duchy


Remodeling a province into a duchy! By far the silliest thing I've seen a bot do...

I've definitely done something like that - however, it was only to immediately end the game (in victory!)

That would make sense -- but no, there was really no reason to do this. There were still 2 provinces and around 10 duchies left.

Play Market Square, Market Square, Market Square. Play Count, gaining Copper, trashing hand (full of Copper).

Buy 4 Coppers.

Repeat.

Not really a "bizarre strategy," but amusing play nonetheless:

I was Bishop-trashing Fortress 7 times a turn most turns (with Menagerie helping the draws). There was at least one turn in which the bot took advantage of my Bishops to also trash his own Fortress 7 times.

Not silly if he had 12 Dukes and 12 Fairgrounds and the right set of other cards... in that case he earns 33 points for that move! (Yes that requires him to have had 12 Dukes and 0 Duchies...)

That would be really impressive if he did that in the Base Adventure set!

Just had a fun game against Lord Bottington. It was a kingdom with Swindler, Golem and Rats. I'm sure you can all figure out what happened. The bot bought Golems, I swindled his potion into a Rats and the fun began. Lord Bottington ended the game with 15 Rats and barely any Victory points.

Arguably the worst move any bot has played against me:

Conqueror Bot: turn 14
Conqueror Bot   plays Necropolis
Conqueror Bot   plays Minion
Conqueror Bot   discards: Copper, Copper
Conqueror Bot   draws Copper, Province, Copper, Minion
BlueSwan   discards: Copper, Silver, Minion, Overgrown Estate, Province
BlueSwan   draws Copper, Province, Copper, Hovel
Conqueror Bot   plays Minion
Conqueror Bot   discards: Copper, Province, Copper
Conqueror Bot   draws Ambassador, Province, King's Court, Copper
Conqueror Bot   plays King's Court
Conqueror Bot   plays Ambassador
Conqueror Bot   reveals Copper
Conqueror Bot   returns Copper to the Supply
BlueSwan   gains Copper
Conqueror Bot   plays Ambassador
Conqueror Bot   reveals Province
BlueSwan   gains Province
Conqueror Bot   plays Ambassador
Conqueror Bot   reveals Province
BlueSwan   gains Province
Conqueror Bot   draws Gold, Gold, Envoy, Silver, Estate

The bot still had a decent chance of winning before that move: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130522/log.50f70ca7e4b0c53c94b0ca2d.1369209676193.txt

Of course looks as stupid as it could get, but in this case it's not that easy to get the bot to play correctly.
The hand was Prov, Copper, KC, Ambassador, and you have to put in lots of work to play KC correctly with each card.

Lol, in the following game a bot bought the last curse in the supply to end the game, which made me win.

It looks like bot was aiming for tie but didn't count turns.

Well, that's Villager Bot. There weren't any actual villages, so he had to make do with Throne Rooms.

Conqueror Bot   cards: 5 Golem, 3 Ironmonger, 14 Potion, 1 Oracle, 1 Mint, 6 Silver, 3 Copper, 1 Masterpiece, 6 Estate, 4 Duchy

He really needed all 14 of those potions to get the crucial 5-5 Golem split!

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Yes this is a definite issue with the bots, also seen them frequently with 3-4 Golems but only 2-3 other actions in deck!!!

That's not particularly bad unless the other actions are some useless things, which of course is likely since these are bots, but still. If you have two Knights, or two Possessions, &c., you don't want any more non-Golem action cards because they will only dilute the effectiveness of your Golems. Golem/Counting House even wants only one non-Golem action card.

If the only engine on the board is Procession->Conspirator, I will play it.
