BotArena 1.31.1 posted

[FranAvalon]

Hi all.

Here is the new release. It brings a few cards from several sets, some of these very interesting creatures as Nether Shadow and Ashen ghoul, a new planeswalker - Garruk, Primal Hunter-, and a new legend for you commander decks: Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter. And of course some bug fixes as usual.

Also, this release brings a new feature, well no new just hidden on developer mode. Now you can force BA to play AI vs AI. When you start the game you will see a new box where you can put a number. That is the amount of repetitions of AI vs Ai games. If that value is 0, the game will be Player vs AI

Here is the download link for Botarena 1.31.1.

Great. For some reason, my antivirus program deleted my BotArena file, and I decided to wait for 1.31.1 to reinstall it.

AI vs. AI mode seems very interesting and will probably give valuable insight in the AI'S "thought process".

Glint Hawk Idol, Chandra's Phoenix and Garruk, Primal Hunter will allow for even more standard decks to be run on BA.

Keep up the good work, guys.

yes it is only visible in the developer mode still. I am on windows 7 64 bit if that matters.

Here is the AI vs AI hotfix. Just uncompress it and overwrite.

I know that I am using these "BotArena posted" threads as wishlist threads for the next BA, but there is no dedicated wishlist thread so far.

See, I am mainly playing the pauper format (all commons), in all its variations - Standard, Vintage, Block Constructed, Modern and so on. Because most commons are simple, these formats are probably the one with the highest percentage of implemented cards. However, one very important card is missing: Train of Thought. Sure, it is a spell that copies itself, but you already handled the storm spells, and Train of Thought doesn't even target. If you could find a way to implement that card, I would really appreciate it.
