Bot logic

#1 Post by Rainfromabove » Sat Jan 29, 2022 3:09 pm

Hi just wondering two things

When all human players are eliminated do the bots all auto draw? I was sure I saw the draw logic for bots somewhere but not in the faq unless I missed it (sorry if so!)

Secondly, do bots have any concept of trying to stop a non-human solo?

In partial answer to both questions, a bot does not make any distinction between other players on the basis of "bot" or "human". To a bot, all players other than itself are simply "other players".

To your question about whether bots draw when the human players a eliminated, in a normal bot game they do. I imagine that when there's several humans they also draw, but i have never played a game with bots where there's more than one person so correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmm interesting I feel like it doesn’t always look like this is true based on the decisions the ai makes

Thanks guys!

I guess one more question I had is I thought there was a logic that if a bot doesn’t manage to gain an sc for three turns they will vote draw is that still true? Or am I completely misremembering that from the early days of bots?

If a bot is winning on dots or with the same amount as you it won't draw unless it hasn't obtained a dot in the past 4 turns.
