What is Map in statistics
Posted: 01 July 2025, 18:56
In the players statistics page, about 8th on the list, just after how often you "triggered end of game" is the stat Map. What is that? I searched the forums to no avail.

It's the id number of the game board used by the player in the game code. Since it could be any value, the average is meaningless and you can ignore it.

It's not any value, map have numbers in ArkNova. Only the alternative maps designed for bga have a weird number of "real number + 100" so map 6a is 106 for instance.cheval_raye wrote: ↑01 July 2025, 22:24 It's the id number of the game board used by the player in the game code.

Anyway the average is not relevant indeed but it allows you to know the map you played on a game without having to load the replay

Sure, but the question was about the players' average stat page, not post-game stat. And I'm sure you already know that the post-game stat displays the full name of map usedTisaac wrote: ↑02 July 2025, 08:10It's not any value, map have numbers in ArkNova.

No, it is not the map #, as the # is quite too high. 61 in my case.
I always assumed it is % of games when the map was filled. The only useful map related stats that I can think of, and not covered elsewhere.
But, stats do not fit to my experience. I get 61 for "map", which seems too low for filling. But for "average winners" it it 67, which seems even more too high, as it is well known that good players seldom fill theirs zoos because they finish so fast.
Same if, alternatively, it is not % of games with filling map, but averag % of the map filled (always empty map = 0, alway half-filled = 50)
Many more entries in the stats page are unclear, and I wish there was a mouse-over help or similar. What use are these stats if one does not know what they represent?

Have you read my answer ? I've given all the details already for the map stat.Moosfrosch wrote: ↑23 July 2025, 12:18 No, it is not the map #, as the # is quite too high. 61 in my case.

And I would be curious to know which other stats you think are not self-explanatory?
