@Eowan. It would be a lot of work to divide the map into cells around the squares. I expect there would be a highish correlation .... but if there wasn't where would that lead you?

The most active squares (the data above is sorted by number of battles on the square) were not necessarily the most deadly squares - in fact one might expect that on plains squares only a single troop might be killed in each battle as a frequent tactic was to hit with cav and occupy with a single troop just afterwards!

Any thoughts on using the towns data to produce some data showing how town density in the surroundings of a square correlated with death toll?
This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some person started it, not knowing what it was, and we'll continue posting on it forever just because...

I'd also make the point that changing the squares just before the start makes a lottery out of what claims to be a strategic game. Strategy is about planning. People are now building troops for the next tourney without knowing what type of terrain they will be fighting on. To me it would make more sense to change the squares immediately AFTER the end of the tourney so you can PLAN for the next one - so what if people move towns - is that not strategy at work? I'd also like to see a more even distribution of terrain types AND some squares on buildings (to kill cav) but that's just me!

@Wartow - There's also a shortage of squares in NW Elgea:

NW Elgea 5
NE Elgea 10
SW Elgea 10
SE Elgea 12
NW BL 9
NE BL 6
SW BL 7
SE BL 9

Those regions in NW Elgea are biggggg. Lets start a campaign to split some of them?????

@Thirion - I'd love to give you that but the stats are only available in the way the devs publish the data. Of course cav get better kill ratios but there's no way to identify cav attacks versus bows or spears or whatever. Ratios don't matter! Time on squares does. Devs don't tell us how much time players get on squares. We do know alliances times on squares ... and RUM won. Some of us like statistics too! .... and we're stuck with trying to draw inferences from incomplete data - just like RL!

Thanks a lot for the numbers. I would really like a "Defense by player" statistic if thats possible.

I do think though that you have to be a bit careful with the numbers and thus your conclusions. There are cheap (e.g. sentinels and kobolds) and expensive (cav) units - thus you are going to get a lot different ratios depending on the units you use. In my opinion it would be better to use "Kills/gold per hour" / "Losses/gold per hour" or "Kills/training cost" / "Losses/training cost".

Even with that you have to be careful with the numbers as there are a lot of other factor like the terrain you (have to) fight on, the gear you are using, the level of commanders and last the goal you are trying to archieve. Its easy to get a good kill ratio by attacking with cav on plains - its a lot harder to win a plains square.

I (Thirion+Ellania) used a Sentinel-only setup with lvl 10 commanders (only forced march), no gear and all of them on occupy. The upside is that it is really cheap and i can spam squares a lot - the downside is that the kill ratio sucks. I do think though that it is a good strategy with the current tournament meta (not putting to much on squares and instead spamming them) and i got a lot of time with it. I am going to try another approach in the next tourney i compete in.

Thanks Wartow, I meant to make that point - here's the square distribution for Elgea

Large Forest 3
Large Hill 3
Large Mountain 1
Plains 24
Small Forest 1
Small Hill 3
Small Mountain 2

and for BL:

Large Forest 6
Large Hill 3
Large Mountain 2
Plains 8
Small Forest 7
Small Hill 4
Small Mountain 1

Something wrong with their random number generator in Elgea ????

We [SkB] had A LOT of plains [Freemorn, Kal T, Keppen, Lan Larosh, Meilla, The Wastes] for which we were competing.  Only The Western Realms and Tor Carrock gave us a break with a small and large hill respectively.  The random location of totems did not provide favorable terrains in our corner of Elgea.

Thanks for the numbers!
