019_PopularityofParabombs.png The prerequisites for parabombs are a Ukrainian airfield, but parabombs are only used about 50% of the time a Ukraine player builds an airfield. Since the support power is free damage then the three reasons seem to be that either the game ends before the parabombs are ...

019_PopularityofTeslaTanks.png Tesla tanks are similar to shock troopers in that players with the right tech do actually build them. Shockies and tesla tanks are present in over 10% of Russia games in the last three seasons. 019_RussiaWinRateWithWithoutTeslaTanks.png This graph is very similar to t...

Having concluded our tour of the Allies faction specials let's now take a look at the Soviets. 019_PopularityofShockies.png The first thing that's apparent when comparing this graph with those for Allies is that shock troopers are used in a really high percentage of potential games. The prerequisite...

019_PopularityofChronoTanks.png The other Germany special is the chrono tank. It's more popular than the German chronosphere/chronoshift, but only just. It appeared in nineteen games between Seasons 9 and 15, with seven of those games in Season 12. 019_GermanyWinRateWithWithoutChronoTanks.png The w...

019_PopularityofChronoshift.png Tech centres appear in about 20% of games, but chronospheres are much less popular. Even with the enticement of a German chronoshift then chronospheres are only present in under 5% of games. 019_GermanyWinRateWithWithoutChronoshift.png The blue line has dots because ...

019_PopularityofPhaseTanks.png Phase tanks are built in roughly 30-50% of games where Germany builds a tech centre. This has dropped to the 30% end of the scale in recent seasons. We've seen before that it's uncommon to see them en-masse, but they do get used. We can also see here that phase tanks ...

019_PopularityofFakes.png Moving on to France and fake buildings. Fakes are the second cheapest faction special after parabombs and have the fewest prerequisites (a conyard). However we only see them in about one in eight French builds. 019_FranceWinRateWithWithoutFakes.png When we look at the win ...

019_PopularityofMGGs.png If you thought spies were unpopular then check out mobile gap generators! Season 15 was the first season since MGGs were moved to England that nobody queued a single unit. (Probably - Season 6 also featured no MGGs but I think the MGG/phase transport swap happened after thi...

Welcome to a new series of stats suggested by Blackened. This time we're going to look through all the faction specials and try to create some graphs which can be compared with each other. First up England and the British spy. 019_PopularityofBritishSpies.png Building a spy just needs a radar dome (...

After playing around with the infantry stats for a while I hit upon the idea of looking at other ratios than rifle-rockets. In the last post we saw that medics, flamers and shockies were the only other units worth investigating after the early game. I compared each with the rocket count to get an id...

014_GameDuration.png I'm not sure what happened with the shortest game this season - I'll look into that later, because it ended very early! The average game length has been pretty constant since RAGL began. 017_InfantryQueueComposition.png I find this an interesting graph. It's averaged over all s...

012_AverageRifleToRocketRatio.png The overall average rifle-rocket ratio has stayed pretty constant in the last few seasons at roughly two and a half to one. 012_RifleToRocketRatioPopularity.png Looking a bit closer we can see that 2:1 and 3:1 have continued to rise in popularity while 4:1 / 5:1 ha...

When looking through the initial season stats anjew commented: i think im the only person this season with no SD in per player build This is true - the per-player build order list only gave build orders that had been performed at least three times by a player, and the only consistent strategy anjew ...

010_FactionPickRate.png The popularity of picking Any has dropped significantly this season (it's now at it's lowest since Season 9). Almost all other faction picks are up, with the exception of Ukraine. 010_BuildOrderPopularityIgnoringKennelandPP.png Double ref builds continue to squeeze everythin...

004_DogCountPopularity.png This season we saw a continuation of the trend towards more dogs per kennel. 005_DefenceBuildRate.png Very little changed in the build rate of ground defences. Flame towers slightly overtook pillboxes, but both are present in more than 90% of builds (for Soviet/Allies). 0...
