Fun With Numbers

[Norfenstein]

Tremstats for the official servers are up for the current phase of the gameplay preview: http://stats.tremulous.net/

We'll get the old data up for you in some form eventually, but for now I'd like to share some non-serious observations grepped from the games.logs of phase one.

I wouldn't call that useless: The dragoon bite got more player kills than the pounce on both servers (the goon with both attacks combined was the top human killer for both as well).

Probably not because of camping: On the EU server, turrets got more alien kills than any other human weapon, beating out both the rifle and lucifer cannon (which were tops on the US server and second on the EU).

It's like a bigger one: Reactors killed more aliens than teslas. On the EU server structure explosions killed more aliens than teslas.

Definitely the unlagged: The third highest ranking human weapon for player kills? Mass driver on US; pulse rifle on EU. Shotgun was fourth on both.

Still the king: The lucifer cannon was far and away the top alien structure killer. On the US server it even got the most structure kills if you discount kills from splash damage. Flamer and chaingun were last on both.

Overpowered: On the EU server marauders killed about an equal amount of structures with claws as with zap; on the US server claws got two thirds more structure kills.

My congratulations to the people that got the four structure kills with the tyrant's crush, nine structure kills with the granger spit, and four player kills with the granger spit.

Smells like achievements... 

Awesome nonetheless.

If you cut out the maps with 5 plays or less on the US server it just conserves the whole human dominance idea.

Average is 50% win humans  45% win aliens and 5% tied.

The numbers are almost the same including all maps, but I don't see any value in data of maps played 5 or less times.


The EU shows different results however, but what really surprises me is that the EU shows a human dominance on ATCS where on the US thats the only map that aliens clearly dominate on.

I also noticed that the maps most played on EU servers are ones known for having bad default bases and generally difficult places for humans to build.  Large open maps make it a clear easy win at S3 for aliens because of their ability to string out their base and sniping.
