Hi,
I was curious about bots and decided to try one myself and created a new account just for that. I wanted to play with my real account against the bot.

I am not impressed. It can play, yes. But very poorly. Often it will play a one-drop in the first turn, coin and end turn, rather than coin and two-drop.

It seems to spend a lot of time trying to attack with the same minion many times or use hero power several times. Right now I have it running and have just seen it miss lethal because it ran out of time while attacking.

Playing druid in arena: first turn has Innervate, coin and Puddlestomper. It plays Innervate and
Puddlestomper, rather than coin Puddlestomper.

Trying to play living roots but ran out of time while choosing.

On the other hand it has a Silver Hand Regent understands using the hero power. … some of the way. Druid again hunter. Hunter has a secret. Silver Hand Regent on the board. It chooses to hero power before attacking with the Silver Hand Regent. I would say attacking first would have been better in case of an Explosive Trap

On my! It is agonizing to watch: It just played Force of Nature but ran out of time while attacking.

BTW the very first pack opened on the bot account had a King Mukla. Not very well deserved if you ask me ;-)

I use silverfish Ai with the default settings. I basically haven't touched the settings other than picking the silverfish AI and basic mage deck (it managed to level mage to level 10 just by loosing....)

I cannot find it.

Ok, maybe the computer is the main problem. It is an old laptop a T43. I booted it up again to run the bot on. I wanted to play against the bot, and also did not like having to run stuff as administrator on my own computer. I can see that the CPU is running 100% while the bot and Hearthstone is running. I did not imagine it would be that CPU consuming.

Follow the e first 3 topics of my guide to make sure everything is set up right.

With a slow pc you probably can't make the calculations quick enough. In my guide is also explained how to lower/raise the settings (calculations)

All calculations are done by the CPU, i have a i7 4750k CPU on 4.00ghz and can push settings just a bit before roping out. Botting on a old laptop wont work that well.

I have turned Maxwide and the other parameters way down. It seems to almost fix the problem, except for rare cases where there are many minions and many interactions, but now I get the feeling of poor decisions (not surprising). It seems to me from looking at the Silverfish window that the board is recalculated each time there has been a change. Like when AI plays a minion and then spends some seconds calculating next play rather than play the second minion it already had decided was optimal.
Oh well. It was interesting to see.

BTW why does the program have to run as administrator?
