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 to be corrupted, and a few other games have snuck in, but I was able to process the vast majority of games without trouble. To give some idea of when each season was, here are the OpenRA releases that were used and the number of games parsed for each season:

Individual nations show less obvious winners and losers.
In the next post I plan to look at the popularity and effectiveness of buildings over the seasons.
