Laterus' Tribe Stats

DeletedUser4587

Guest
The purpose of this thread is to quantify some of the common claims made to discredit a tribe's skill. These claims are easy to make with anecdotes, but the true facts are rarely verified. To give tribes ammo for or against claims, I have chosen to provide stats to quantify some of these claims. As time goes on I will add more stats and update this first thread with links to the post. Feel free to make suggestions for stats, and if it seems interesting/useful/feasible, I will make a crack at it.

Keep in mind that I am not a part of any tribe. I'm not involved with this world whatsoever. I'm just a curious and bored. :)


Original W55 thread here

---

The first and most popular claim is that a tribe nobles a lot of barbs. Since it takes no skill to take a barb, and barbs generally don't give the best benefit when capped, it is easy to correlate the number of barbs nobled to the lack of skill of the players in the tribe.

In this stat, the number of barbs nobled by a tribe is compared to the total number of villages nobled. The absolute number of barbs is not the greatest metric, since large tribes will likely have large numbers, so the number of barbs nobled is divided by the number of total villages nobled, to give a normalized metric in the form of percentage of conquers being barbs. This allows tribes barb caps to be compared without regard for tribe size. Also, the stat considers whether a barb is valuable. The barb growth cap in this world is 2k, so the stat considers the cap + 1K as a valuable cap. The rank is based on "valuable" barb caps, rather than total barb caps.

I used paste special from data copied from twstats in to excel then sorted by old owner then by size then used excel to count the stats. Note that the W55 thread did not account for barb size, when comparing stats.

iGouge has been footnoted since the tribe is so new the data may not be statistically representative. Ex as a family has been footnoted as well.

Stat key: <3k%/barb% (<3k,barbs,total)

Commentary:

At the time of the finish of this post, the Ex/CTT/ExO Family (please correct me in your proper family name) top 40 players have 35,109,391 points. This still puts them well behind the 46,118,105 points of the HotRex top 40. The total points of the family does just beat the total points of HotRex, with family being at 57,143,132 vs 51,086,031

It is interesting to note that Ex barely beat HotRex in small barbs nobled, but HotRex had half as many total barbs nobled as Ex. When the Ex family is considered, they take second in small barbs, and 4th in total barbs.

Ex has 2nd most absolute number of barbs nobled. TRE (last place) has the most. TRE still has the absolute most small barbs nobled by a large margin.

Notice that this only reflects the caps made while in tribe, so it does not necessarily reflect all of the players' skill. It is possible that each individual ate a lot of barbs while outside of the tribe, and this stat would not reflect that. This issue will encompass future stats.

Beyond what I have said, I will not comment on a tribe's skill. I hope other players will do that for me :)

If this gains traction and interest is shown (and it's updated regularly of course), I'll consider stickying it as it is in W55. Just gotta run it through a trial period.

But to show my faith in you, I already made some room among the stickies by removing unnecessary ones :icon_wink:.

:) Thanks.

It's not stickied in 55 though ;) It was a one time stat, not deserving of a sticky, just as this will be. There is a very short window which this method is relevant. This world is on the back end of that window.

I'd also like to mention that the stat "winner" in W55 did not end up winning the world. Though they were allies with the tribe that is about to win, and they merged.

Ah dear, I made the mistake of mixing up threads. Close enough :icon_razz:.

Interesting analysis...should provide some fun commentary during the Ex Family vs HotRex/MW war.

Internal caps are usually used to show a tribe is having activity problems. It is also used to argue that a player has less skill than their points represents. A high level of internal caps can imply that a tribe has trouble with players going inactive as well as less skilled players. It can also mean that the tribe is just good at getting rid of their inactives and not letting them go barb. I will leave it up to others to argue what it means.

I have ranked tribes by percentage of internals vs total conquers. iGouge and Ex as a family have been footnoted once again. With the Ex family I counted conquers against tribes in the family as an internal for the combined stats, but ignored it for the individual stats. I used the same data I used in the first post (meaning it's a little out of date), and I sorted in excel by the tribe names. I'm leaving brutal off since it appears they are merging with TRE. A merger started the last time I started this too >.<

For reference, in W55 the top tribes internaled 20-25%

The tribe who prefers to noble enemies over friends:
1) Ex - 12.34% (347/2811)


DR - 12.77% 59/462
Slava - 13.89% (85/612)
CTT - 14.75% (146/990)
HotRex - 14.80% (594/4014)
~MW~ - 16.03% (418/2608)
ExO - 18.37% (88/479)
TRE - 20.89% (262/1254)

The tribe that is just waiting for their friends to give up:
~@~ - 27.37% (280/1023)

Footnotes

Family: Ex + CTT + ExO
Ex - 347 + 62 + 62 = 471
CTT - 13 + 146 + 27 = 186
ExO - 3 + 3 + 88 = 94
Sum - 363 + 211 + 177 = 751
Total Caps - 2811 + 990 + 479 = 4280

Family - 17.55% (751/4280)
iGouge - 27.05% (56/207)

Individual stats considering cross-tribe-in-family
Ex - 16.76% (471/2811)
CTT - 18.79% (186/990)
ExO - 19.62% (94/479)

It is interesting to note that while the stats of the individual tribes in the Ex family do well in this ranking, when you consider the cross-tribe internals, they turn in to not-so-good. Ex and CTT have HotRex beat in this rank, but when all three are combined they fall well behind.

I found it interesting that the internal stats were much lower than the W55 stats. I think it is because the world is younger than W55 was at this point, and so there isn't as much quitting yet.
