Continuing this exploration on the defence queue, we get to fakes. It's hard to get accurate estimates of how good fakes are, since they're only available with one faction and historically France has been the least played (only 12% of all factions). Probably one of the biggest boosts for using fakes...

So having looked at defence spamming in the previous post I thought it would be interesting to look at the record holders for placing the most defences in a single game. Again here I have used "==" for Concrete Walls and "--" for Sandbags and Fences, and I just counted the number of clicks - not the...

Onto the defences queue! It's always good to start with a wall of text, so here's the item count, queue count and win rate for defences broken down by season. SEASON 1 Pillbox: 1185 (230 builds (45%), 48% wins) Camo Pillbox: 1034 (183 builds (36%), 53% wins) Flame Tower: 1016 (194 builds (38%), 47% ...

There are two more observations I wanted to make about the building queue results and then I'll start on the defences queue. First I wanted to talk about kennels. When I started playing then I thought dogs were a joke unit and only became good recently. The sample sets are very small for this as ken...

There was a request to compare just games from Masters over the seasons. This graph shows Service Depot, Radar Dome and Tech Centre usage (queuing) over the different seasons of RAGL. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/339126076204908544/737268146674728970/unknown.png Another request was to comp...

As promised, I've generated some stats about the first queue - buildings. SEASON 1 Power Plant: 2444 (506 builds (100%), 50% wins) Refinery: 2356 (504 builds (100%), 50% wins) Barracks: 2044 (506 builds (100%), 50% wins) Advanced Power Plant: 1477 (363 builds (72%), 52% wins) War Factory: 897 (496 b...

I have updated many of the statistics from these posts to include games up to Season 13 in the Standings and Statistics thread Jazz helpfully provided the replays from previous seasons of RAGL and so I was able to run some analysis of how the game was played each season. Several of the replays seem...

Continuing the stream of stats that no one asked for... Restricting the faction win results to just random v random picks give a much more even Allies v Soviets score: Faction Win Rate England 3/ 8 38% France 12/ 21 57% Germany 8/ 19 42% Allies 23/ 48 48% Russia 17/ 27 63% Ukraine 7/ 19 37% Soviet 2...

This was my first season in RAGL and I really enjoyed it. At the start of the season I was aiming just to come in better than last, but by the end I'd won games against a good portion of the table. The absolute highlight this season was undoubtedly Biomecaman's incredible casting of Minion's matches...

A request from i like men to see the stats for faction win rates per player. For example the third row says that Happy ("Clockwork") won 80% of his games when playing as Allies against Soviets. === Faction-Player Win Rates === Name | Allies vs A | Allies vs S | Soviet vs A | Soviet vs S ------------...

Same stats filtered by masters/minions (and less nicely formatted): Masters Stats Faction Win Rate From Random A/S Picked Win Rate England 39/ 61 64% 9/ 16 56% 24/ 31 77% France 32/ 50 64% 6/ 13 46% 12/ 17 71% Germany 34/ 66 52% 4/ 10 40% 19/ 31 61% Allies 105/177 59% 19/ 39 49% --- Russia 19/ 53 36...

Reports generated by https://github.com/tttppp/openraAnalysis I'll try to add some actual thoughts another time, but here are some stats. Faction Picks Faction Win Rate From Random A/S Picked Win Rate England 62/123 50% 16/ 25 64% 26/ 53 49% France 53/ 99 54% 11/ 20 55% 18/ 27 67% Germany 91/140 65%...
