Data for Through the Ages

Hello,

is it possible to get data for Through the ages somewhere over all games played? I was looking to analyse how often certain cards are picked, for how many civil actions they are picked, which tactics win more etc.
I was just curious about this and get an insight into what cards are under and overplayed.

Part of the idea is to put it into a post for Boardgamegeek too as a new version of the game is being worked on with some updated cards as well. It could perhaps be of use to have some data on which cards are popular and not.

If you have a paying account here, you can see statistics by looking at your profile. Through The Ages should have a 'My Statistics at this Game' link, which compares you to everyone else. It doesn't get specific enough to do statistics per card, though, but you can see which general strategies are effective. As far as I know, per-card statistics are not publicly available here. I hope that helps.

Yes I know about that data but it's not really what I was looking for.

Since there are statistics compared to everyone there probably is some data from which specific card information can be extracted. With the new expansion in the works I would be curious to see just how popular Iron is vs Alchemy and that sort of thing. Could be useful for the developers to see how often Bach or Napoleon is picked in games.
