Re: Early version of an AI you can practice TFM against

Frank AI doesn't think, you can exploit that, it's really fun to string AI along. Think about how it behaves right now and you will always win(mostly). I messed up twice, but that's on me, I have yet to have an unwinable game.

Bot fund miner for me in the last gen for 20mc. Final funding is the worst flaws right now.

Re: Early version of an AI you can practice TFM against

Of course, engine moves are beyond normal human comprehension, but I think it's safe to say we can rank UNMI way down the pick ranking on Tharsis. The same for Inventrix for 3p. Maybe because I am trying harder, but the bot before your latest post felt easier.

tfmbot's draft felt worse in this game, he passed back Anti Grav for trash.

Re: Early version of an AI you can practice TFM against

Also, tfmbot likes to play out his whole hand rather than passing and/or waiting for better combos. Maybe implement something like don't play ice asteroid till media/optimal/arctic algae/earth cat/mass/quantum/outpost, unless able to convert greenery, or till cash+titanium value over 50mc. Draft/buy...

Re: Early version of an AI you can practice TFM against

Yeah the sp city part of the bot is really damaging for its winning chances. It does a fantastic job on early awards but more than once or twice I saw it blunder the final award fund. There are even instances that it fund an award that benefited me for 20mc. It's really bad on milestone managements,...

There is a document or change log and stat sheet for us to pore over? Like a documentation for all the player data.

Re: Early version of an AI you can practice TFM against

https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=885533409 Bot hit himself with virus. This is perfect for me, awesome can't wait for the colony expansion and 3/4p options One thing I noticed is that the bot doesn't prioritize milestone enough. Sometimes it even ignoring funding it for the players to steal.

Re: I wish this game had a mulligan system

Yeah basically, I would rather striving hard for the win than keeping the 4, playing deep well, or playing stripmine unmi and losing for sure.

Re: I wish this game had a mulligan system

Frank you can't play like this, this is Tharsis you have no business buying and playing cards like biz committee, you had no jov mults nor tit prod and you are not Saturn so AMC is just a dead card. He is IC, played space mirror so you draft water splitting plant over rad chem on Tharsis? And you bo...
