Board Game Arena

Small sample size, but: I have 24 wins and 5 losses. Based on my current Elo of 438, that would mean tfmBot is playing at a 165 Elo. I think it's better than that, so either 1) My true level is higher than 438 (Possible, and I certainly hope so; I was as high as 535 at one point), or 2) I have been...

Saw that one. Fixed.

Hellas support now added!

Add 'tfmbot' as a friend and then message the bot Hellas and it'll invite you to a 2p Hellas game.

The replay seems corrupted too

I haven't seen this elsewhere so going to put it down to something odd on the bga side for this one.

Don't invite. Join. See the instructions to find and join. Looks like you're in a game right now though? Just go to it

What am I doing wrong?

Disregard, I figured it out.

Good call. Internal scoring for awards didn't consider the last production phase. The logs state it was ahead with no predicted way for you to catch up in the lookahead. Then the final end game round of production happened. Fixed.

The solution i added to the above is two inputs, one's a net that scores value of combinations. Eg. Mohole+Mohole UNMI scores high as a combination. The other is raw strength. Mohole+mohole+UNMI is a known combination. It just sucks. So it picks the other known combination (CSM+all the cards that go...

Yeah agreed. Root cause is i wanted it to consider how corp+prelude+cards go together. The problem is that's all it was really considering. This game https://boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/260720-1415/?table=886290385&player=100191858&comments=96099926; gives away the issue. Heat + heat p...

A few improvements incoming: - I now have a jovian scorer. In theory I'd like this to train purely on the nets but it was playing multipliers alone because it learnt 'they're good cards'. So just added a block of code to manually score this in place of learnt information. Jovian points with multipli...

Lots of bug fixes made. Should play at a much much higher level now.

Since arena season as started you’ll need to select ‘play’ and ‘turn based’ with tfmbot added as a friend to see the games.
