Bumped from the "old" forum (http://www.googleearthhacks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4433):

Stats have been mentioned before, but it was a long long time ago (relatively) and reviving dead topics is a hobby of mine.

What I'd like to see are some real-time stats from the game. The top 5 or 10 in different categories such as these:

Longest held cities
Most contested cities (attacked the most times)
Most contested cities (changed hands the most times)
Biggest targets (players attacked the most regardless of city)
Bloodiest cities (most total troops lost)
Bloodiest battles (most total troops lost)
Biggest victories (largest lopsided victory either by percentages lost or total troops lost)

And stats for individual players:

Battle winning percentage
Average city ownership time
Total cities held
Number of times won a city
Number of times lost a city
Something that factors in cost of troops versus income from cities to show how well you manage your cities

The Top Players list shows who is currently at the top in terms of total value, but there could be a calculation to determine who is the biggest overall winner. Something like average total value times total cities won divided by total cities lost. Maybe factor in time for holding cities and ratio of army cost to city income into that as well. That way, you'd be rewarded in the standings for expansion and being able to hold your cities using a reasonable number of troops.

I second Birq's request. I'm a stats nerd/junkie and would love to see more stats on the game.

If some categories are hard to implement, then for example show statistics for Bloodiest cities in last 100 attacks.
Also bloodiest days - sum total lost troops in one day!

And think of some statistics that could bring more wars on. Like mentioned longest held cities, but also longest unattacked cities, etc.

Statistics, Statistics, Statistics.

I think such a thing should be easy to code... :cool:

Who knows, maybe because its Christmas... ;)

i'm sure anyone into baseball or cricket (i am a cricket nut!) is also obsessed with stats. I was all for birq's suggestions in the old thread on GEH.

As well as alliance stats. Most attacked, attacks most and who etc, etc.....

How about a stat on who gets attacked (picked on) the most?

Now that W_P is gone someone else would need to take the trophy ;)

This feature is on the todo list ;)

Just be a little patient, because of Christmas coding goes quite slow...

Thanks :)

Another stats junkie seconding the notion.

Christmas coding goes slow? Is that because instead of 101010 it's h0h0h0?

Or because this site is administered by tiny elves who have another 'regular gig' in December?

Yeah magic elves... that explains the internet and this pages...
