Posts from Some statistics.

The statistics actually cheered me up.

The proportion of players who excessively focus on single-map strategies is decreasing. This is definitely a good thing! I hope to see this figure drop to around 20% in the future, where single-map strategies will be just one of many viable options, and excessive focus on them will disappear.

Thank you for the work you've done!

well, that's progress, I guess :) Before, probably around 90-95% of the games were played on it.

About favorite castles.
During the period from September 2013 to February 2014, almost 3000 games were recorded in total across all tournaments on the forum. Another tournament, "Favorites," was added, where players could play with the same castle without any restrictions. The statistics turned out to be good.
I think many will be interested to see the results not only of the winners of the "Best Castle" contest, but also a more extensive list. This includes players who have played more than 5 games with a specific castle and won more than 70% of the games.

Thank you, that's interesting statistics. It would be great if there was similar data for templates as well.

Yes, I've already calculated the data for 2013. I also want to reward the winners. Who can create prize images for signatures? Please contact me, and I'll tell you what needs to be drawn.

I need to revisit my favorite castles. I somehow ended up in the top rankings for Castle and Dungeon, while Rampart is nervously competing with Fortress.

What will be the name of the award ceremony?

What will the award ceremony be called?

Judging by the analogy with castles, it will probably be something along the lines of "Best player on the ... map".

Peter, thank you! It's hard to compete with Maretti, of course.

The statistics actually cheered me up.

The proportion of players who excessively focus on specific creatures is decreasing. This is definitely a good thing! I hope to see this figure within 20% in the future, where focusing on specific creatures will be just one of many viable strategies, alongside other approaches, and excessive focus on specific creatures will become obsolete.

Thank you for the work you've done!

Well, I waited, and now the focus on Jebus creatures is increasing.

I recently wrote that the share of Jebus Cross is no more than 20% in the season. But here it turns out to be 28%. So I was mistaken.
But even that is not enough to talk about Jebus Cross dominance. It is the most popular template — yes, but not a monopoly.
It is especially interesting to compare the statistics with the voting in OFB-8. There, 8mm6a won by a solid margin.

Well, I guess I waited for it. Now, the obsession with Jebus is growing.

It feels like 8mm6a is the most popular right now. Although, the "Jebus brain" phenomenon is still present. But it's better than just 60% only SMK. And before that, it was all 90.

The 8mm6 victory in the OFB vote is explained by the fact that this template satisfies almost everyone, with very few haters of it. In the case of Jebus, the situation is such that some love it, while others cannot stand it. Moreover, when players sit down for a season game, they want to play it in one go without postponements, and Jebus is suitable in this regard.

Furthermore, when people sit down to play a season, they want to play it in one go without interruptions, and Jebus Cross fits that purpose.

Golden words.

Regarding "smka" [keep as is abbreviation], I don't know what was there before (maybe there were fewer bugs or something else), the template itself is absolutely playable, provided that three roads are generated for each player, which happens only in 50% of cases (and correspondingly all other zones also go awry), or even less, imho that's why the template is messed up and turns into a lottery. Maybe introduce some rules that a mandatory restart is required for bugged generation? This will of course delay the start of the game, but it will be quite possible to play normally.
