One thing I like in this game is that different players really have different styles, even at the top level. This is reflected by the stats, which show the share of civilian/science/military victory (and political if you play with Agora). It is impressive to see how these stats vary among players.
However, this is a game where conceded games are not rare: sometimes the outcome is clear before the end, and some players prefer to concede if they foresee a sure loss. In my experience, this happens more often when a scientific or military win is about to happen, than a civilian one.
I was wondering how this kind of wins are counted in the stats. For some reason, after a conceded games it appears written that the game was won by the tie-breaker rule. As all tie-breaker victories are civilian, I have the impression that all conceded games might be counted by the website as civilian ones, which would skew the stats by a fair bit. Does anybody know if this guess is correct?
If that is the case, I think it would be fairer not to count those wins under any of the standard kind of wins, and maybe even add a new victory type as "conceded". I perfectly know it is a very minor problem, and I have no idea how much work it would be needed to fix it, but I'm still curios to see what other players think about it .
