nothing much really jumped out at me that i hadnt already seen when looking at england. once again, germany doesnt seem to be the biggest threat to the western circle and the primary battle appears to usually be between france and england. germany is typically the temporary hinge that swings the tide in one direction since when coupled with the low german win percentage seen in my first statistical post leaves germany in a losing situation if the german doesnt have a backup plan.
it was interesting to see that england was the most formidable player for and against france and also to see yet again that turkish gains are only bolstered by a longer conflict in the west. russia took the biggest hit in win percentages when france is eliminated dropping to only 14% while the other countries climbed.
if i were to have viewed each draw and organized them into piles based on who drew with france, the leader was a 3-way with E/T. also, like england, if france was eliminated, it was far more common to see the game end in a draw instead of a solo victory.
FAQ:
"This is great stuff Tru Ninja. Are you going to do this for the other countries too?"
Yes. This will be compiled in alphabetic order, so Germany is next on my list (which ive already started). after ive done all 7 countries, i will continue to look up a variety of things that strike my fancy, chief among them is whether the amount of in-game messaging a player has affects his/her overall win/draw percentage.
