The bots should be better aware of when a win is there
for them. I've seen the bots sitting at 8 or 9 points not
make the obvious move, often, and lose the game as a
result.

Just now Amos had 9 points and only needed to build a
settlement (I knew he had the right items to do so) but
instead decided to waste the wood and clay to try to
reach an ore port 3 spaces away. He ended up using all
3 wood and clay he had to get there leaving him with 1
sheep and 2 wheat. Had he just built a settlement on
the end of that road (which was legal) he'd have won.
Instead I won on my next turn. Nice to win, but not that
way.

There are countless variations of this.
