...and side light here, for dynasty purposes. I'm here all tickled because I'm beating a Bot AI with a parlor trick (to a point).
Against a savvy player, I should expect him to recognize that I am deliberately playing for Dukes, and he can counter that by just taking a couple Duchies himself. The bot won't do that.
Classic case of my "practice" potentially being counterproductive. If I try this obvious an end run against a capable foe, he will defuse that plan, I'd expect, and just beat me with a better-tuned deck to get the Provinces sufficient to beat my 5 Duchy+X Dukes effort.
