Kill to Death Ratio Statistics

Hello, Would it be possible to calculate lifetime and/or ongoing kill to death ratio statistics? It would obviously be for entertainment purposes, but it might be fun to lay claim to "I am the unluckiest player on this site," followed up with a verifiable leaderboard of luck stats. :) Thanks! With love, Ryomyr

This is a good idea!

Great idea. I would suggest adding some detail to avoid confusion and frustration. Not all attacks/defenses are created equal. A 3v1 attack has much better odds than 1v2. Comparing apples and oranges. Bad players who consistently attack 1v3 for that one card they need will always have poorer odds than players who consistently attack when odds are in their favor and forgoe a card rather than lose troops across the entire map in bad atatcks. So maybe seperate categories for 3v2, 3v1, 2v2, 2v1, 1v2, 1v1

While a cool idea, I seriously doubt we have that level of stats handy.

Luck stats, hmmm

sounds like something an extension would do :< it would only sync by browser (or in chromes case, by gmail, if its synced that is) and not account (unless you paid for access to a database or something) seems possible, i will look into it because i have a match rebuilder already, PM me in about a week if you want this to happen :z i forget 100% of the time and im not gonna record this in my project queue because damn that things packed

Or you could store every type of fight the same way you do logs during the game without showing them, and only update each player's score at the end, no need to query a database at each result. Then you just add a bit more logs that you don't show the players.

To the best of my knowledge there aren't any heavenly programmers around here, y'all have to make do with the human ones :) I would really like more stats - probably in the form where after a game is ended all stats will be analyzed and maybe added to a total on your profile somewhere (including he 3v1, 3v2 etc difference). Sadly, we currently don't have the code-design to easily do something like this. So either a volunteer programmer comes around and builds just a counter total killed total lost on a per game basis (that'd be doable) or you'll have to wait until some of the code is refactored.

good luck finding an (alive) php programmer
