Game stats based on starting player order

Post by Deiv1 »

Since there are discussions about turn order, is there a way to get statistics related to starting position? Especially for 4 player games

I was just wondering the same thing - although is it any worse than a three player game going third?

It doesn't look like it's possible, at this point.





I think some players tend to think that going 4th is the worst, but you are pretty much guaranteed to get objective(s) you can fulfill the first round, unless youre terribly unlucky. This can be a pretty distinct advantage.

I have to say that "getting good objectives" is an advantage that's not very conductive to new players (like me)...

BTW: I'm now playing my 4th game and I am always the last starting player! :oops:

I imagine that these statistics would tell a very different story if you look at "All Players" vs. only looking at "Top Players."

I'm not saying that it wouldn't be interesting, but it seems like it would be very easy to jump to conclusions that aren't necessarily true, with a game that has such a tight action-economy as Darwin's Journey.

Look at players with +200 ELO.

Or create an option that the highest rated player automatically goes 4th because it's fair anyway so YOLO...
