Current race percentage

In Cluster 2 (640 planets counted) 31/8 02:30 GMT

Zik 31%
Cat 23%
Xan 21%
Ter 15%
Etd 10%

...Jepp, i know, its still posseble to change race...

But ill choose the black Slayers from planet Krull, think at tick-start they will be the most common Race.

And Zik are the most difficult race to play, yada yada yada, and most player want a hard time playing, yada yada yada, and the reward and satisfaction at success due to superior tactics and high IQ is what drives people to play the hardest race, not the fact that i is superior. yeah right!

And finally ...Jepp, i know, its still posseble to change race...

Re: Current race percentage

Terran and Zikonian numbers surprise me, the first by being way too low, and the second by being way too high.

I was just thinking the same. Unless there is some adverse selection due to early signups being more likely to be active people and thus ziks. But that doesnt seem to hold either.

Perhaps people fear massed CO attacks more than before this round, and thus steering away from terran?

Even so, its still quite low/high.

Re: Current race percentage

...was bored at work, so don't sue me if the numbers are incorrect.

And i agree to a certain extent, but still, Zik advantage is a little to big, its not random if you ask me. But don't do that, i just tell you that smoking is good for you and a Long Iceland Ice Tea now and then get you laid.

Hm...And active people is more likely to know which race that is the best...

But ok, lets see at Tick-start... More Zik... Surprice...

Seriously, is there something wrong with the stats? (hehe, have the stats been discussed before in this games history? Sorry.)

What does seem to hold, is, that since they changed zikonians from when they were reasonably balanced (and to an extent a "hard to play but rewarding" race) into this "our ships die harder than their terran correspondents and hit harder than their xandathrii correspondents), zikonian has fared reasonably well. With no real changes to zikonian (except the bump up for the already strong corsair) and minor tweaking of other races, there's no reason not to expect that there will be plenty of zikonian in the top 100 sheet, albeit the very top will probably be cathaar dominated.

Re: Current race percentage

Such high ziks are going to make hard work for terran. Which is ideal for me because im going cath and my spider blows.

Cheers

Edit (up to date):
Terran 232(18%)
Cathaar 296(23%)
Xandathrii 283(22%)
Zikonian 320(25%)

A little odd figures. Terran rarely if ever is so significantly "behind". Perhaps it's the fact that it's the third round in the run they're utterly shit so people slowly start giving up and dropping off the race. Wintrades seems to have been reduced to ashes too, after their immense racial qualities took a heavy beating. And they're not too awesome in other ways, either. This further plows the field for zikonians, as the main dread for the cutting ships are the nasty vendoring machines. With so little wintrades and terran, the "weak" spectre will probably find itself easier to cope with things, and there's a chance xandathrii can cope with battleship incomings. The BS threat is also alleviated by the fact that the tempting cathaar corvette focus leaves them with more room to build scorpions with. Pretty cuddly, if not fluffy.

It's funny, I guess. While everyone was complaining about supercat, zik slipped under the radar.

It was in fact mentioned, but it may have gotten a little less attention. As you can see from the numbers, the main races really are zikonian, xandathrii, and cathaar - the three of which I can see xandathrii having a slight drawback with weaker attack fleets and the massive research disadvantage.
